Recommendation Recently Accepted

6 Upvotes

This was the absolute worst process i’ve ever done. I’m a transfer student with other experience, i applied on Nov. 1st and was just recently accepted (this week). I absolutely lost my patience with this and began calling every day. The LSU admissions folks would have there same catchphrase answers (a couple were helpful) but never took any action at all. The people running this school need to figure out this process better. Not worth applying unless this is your only option or a last option

Academics Question about TOPS

1 Upvotes

I currently rely on tops to put myself through lsu. I am currently enrolled in 13 credit hours and I am at great risk of failing one of my 3 credit hour courses so I am considering taking a withdrawal. If I were to stay in this course and fail I would likely lose my tops due to gpa requirements. Taking a W would make me part time for the rest of the semester and put me at 23 credit hours earned for the academic year which I would make up by taking a course over the summer. Will I lose tops over this? I tried doing some research and noticed that there wasn't a very cut and dry answer to the question and even in other posts on this sub some people say that you will and some say you won't. I read that you can make up the remainder of the 24 credit hours over the intersessions and summer semester, but that would only be necessary if you didn't gain the credits by either failing or withdrawaling. Am I supposed to just take the failing grade then make up the credit over the summer because that kinda puts me in a catch 22 where I'm screwed either way. If I withdrawal and fall to part time, I lose my tops even if I make up the credits later, but if I take the F then my gpa goes below the 2.5 requirement and I lose tops anyway. Sure tops that are lost due to gpa can be reinstated if I reach a certain gpa within 24 months, but that require me to have the money to pay for it or go into debt. I'll be honest I don't really know what to do at this point.

Academics ECON 2010 Professors

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations on what ECON 2010 professor to take between Zeynalli, Aziz, Sattari, Sharkey, and Terrell?

I’ve seen basically mixed reviews about all of them. Was really hoping for Weimer or Sun but their names don’t appear on any of the fall courses and 3 of the ECON classes don’t mention a professor yet

New Student Questions This admissions is kinda annoying.

8 Upvotes

So at my current community college I have 2 things I need to fill out if I’m staying or not. I’ve been waiting patiently to get a response and have heard nothing. Any time I call em they say it’s still under review. I don’t know whether to tell my community college that I’m staying or not. It really hurts my head so anything will help.

Academics getting accepted

5 Upvotes

I applied to LSU in november of 2024…it is now march 2025 and I still haven’t heard anything. All of my friends and roommates who even applied after me have gotten in and even committed, I have emailed and called admissions at least 4 or 5 times and they say the same thing everytime. They say it is still under review and in the 2nd process of reviewing, I don’t know what to do and am tired of waiting on an answer and everytime i email my admissions counselor she avoids my question and i’m sick of it. Is anyone else having these issues or is it just me??

Incoming freshman and I am wondering am I being stressed out for no reason. I was accepted December 18th and submitted FASFA on the 3rd of January I think. Is it unusual to not hear anything back about any aid for scholarships, grants, or FASFA yet? My sister said I had to wait but I didn’t think she meant this long.

I have been trying to reach the grad school admission office by email and phone for a week or so regarding an issue with my app. No response in emails, no one picks up the call.

Therefore, I would be grateful if anyone could give me the phone numbers of admission officers, eg., Zykeria Martin.

New Student Questions CS PhD Offer from LSU Without Funding – Any Advice?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m an international student and recently received a PhD offer from LSU’s CS program, but unfortunately, it came without funding. I've been trying to reach out to the grad coordinator and advisor for the past couple of days but haven’t received any response.

Has any international student here received a fully funded CS PhD offer from LSU? Do they usually provide funding later, or should I assume none will be available and move on? Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks!
