Charting UL Enrollment since 1901

[NOCajun]

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!??

Obviously I didn't.

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.

Specifics of other schools that have higher admission standards than Louisiana and how much higher?

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.

Another issue. Our alumni don’t go for high earning jobs after graduating unless they majored in comp science or petroleum.

Where are the numbers? I think the one you cite smack dab in the middle is wrong . . .

Don't kid yourself, Covid aside, Louisiana has always shown an attendance bump after a successful football season.

These incoming freshmen couldn't care less about football, but they are not immune to the advertising effects of hearing the school mentioned over and over (in a good light) their senior year of high school.

I'm just telling you from a parent who's kid is in his freshman year at UL and with all the kids he associated with, UL is typically down the list of their top options. Most of the kids locally are obsessed with LSU and that's where they're looking to go. And if you were correct, we'd have a bustling student section at football games in a year where we saw a bump in attendance. Generally speaking, we often have fairly poor student attendance at most athletic events.

Maybe it’s a parent issue . . . maybe get a couple of pointers from KK
