Key Points:

• SAT or ACT scores are currently required for most freshman applicants to Louisiana State University, though policies may vary by program or year.
• LSU evaluates SAT scores as part of a holistic admissions process, considering GPA, extracurriculars, and other factors alongside test results.
• Louisiana State University practices superscoring, meaning they consider the highest section scores across multiple SAT test dates to form a composite score.
• Alternatives such as AP or IB test scores may be considered for placement or credit but do not typically replace SAT requirements for admission.
• Prospective students should aim for an SAT score of at least 1200–1300 to be competitive for admission to LSU, especially for selective programs.
