[Turbine]

Raise the admission standards is what I’m saying.

Q: Have the admission standards been lowered since Louisiana enrolled 82 valedictorians in one semester?

No, but they’re still relatively lower compared to other schools we aspire to be like. Other R1’s have higher admission standards.

As far as I know, we still have the highest admission standards of any public university in the state. It’s been that way for about 10 years

[Gris-Gris]

Give us some specifics.

ACT should be at least 25
3.2 high school GPA at least.

Even some of the graduate admissions are very low.

Example: MBA program only requires 2.5 GPA for the GMAT to be waived. So if you’re a ‘C’ student, we’ll waive your GMAT and let you in. This should not be a ‘C’ student University.

Are LSU’s not higher??

Are LSU’s not higher??

No. And haven’t been for about 10 years. They lowered theirs to increase enrollment. We raised ours to get to R1. Academically we are going in different directions.

UL’s admission requirements are too easy. Smart kids do not want to enroll here.

Uh, they have 135 Valedictorians in this year's class. Did you read the article!??

Based on Student Homecoming attendance, this is the least of our problems. We need engaged students that become future fans and supporters of our university.
