LSU BSN

[mdv0731]

Hi everybody,

Im new to this site and could really use some advice. Im starting LSU traditional BSN program. Was wondering if anyone has any advice about what to expect and what I should do to prepare. Also if anyone is actually a student at LSU that would help or if they are starting in the Fall as well.

Yea thats right the 533 would be split down the middle. Its good that yall are touring before yall sign a lease. I think that you will be happy that you did. If you havent already make sure you send the housing office notification I think 24 hrs before you tour so they can set it up for you in advance.

no letter yet. I guess we just wait for our denial letters now to see when and how we can re-apply? I really thought I stood a really good chance at getting in this round. Congrats to all of you who did.

dont give up yet! sometimes mail just takes a while to get in!

Don't give up!

We don't even know for SURE what letters were sent out and which ones weren't.

Someone had said that ALL letters (acceptance and denial were sent out) THEN someone else said that ONLY acceptance letters were sent out.

So who knows?!

I called them last week and they said only acceptance letters went out last monday a week ago today.

I would love to be more positive but at the same time I need to make other plans,

I understand where you are coming from.. I'm at Lsu now and i plan on schedualing spring classes on Friday. But I'm still hopeful because it's only been a week. But if I don't get in I will call them and ask why because I exceeded all the requirements.

kaitylnrs91 I am in the same position, I have overly exceeded the gpa requirement, yet I know people getting in with C's. I am wondering if they will give us an explanation.

[kaitlynrs91]

True. But I think it's unfair that less qualified individuals would get preference over others, on the other hand they could've had an outstanding interview and goal statement

I'm pretty sure they look at GPA, interview, goal statement and exam score as a package to determine their acceptance/denial to school. Some parts weighed more heavily on others.
