Has anyone heard anything regarding the payment portal?

 

[Purple&Gold8]

nope, I only got an email saying that the payment portal will be delayed for IT issues and that it won't affect review of application.

In previous years has this school always asked for a copy of driver's license and social security card via email or mail...?

Wow as a re-applicant I forgot how terrible the portal and overall applicant process is for this school.

 

[mickeymice]

Has anyone received a link to the payment portal yet? I've completed the secondary aside from that, which they said in an email was pending when they originally sent the invite.

I had to request payment portal which I was not sent originally.

 

[antithetical-dreamgirl02]

I got an email asking for a copy of my drivers and social via email.

Is this secure/safe? I've always been told not to send SSN over mail correspondence and this nonchalant way of sending it in is stressing me out

Are you guys interpreting the values prompt as a maximum of 500-600 words, or within the range of 500-600 words? I'm honestly not sure if I can discuss my values in that many words

Why does LSU Nola ask if we are children of alumni in the secondary? Do they have a bias

idk why but I think this is a standard question on most secondaries. i'm sure it may help u slightly

 

[doctorbunny2]

Is a 507 enough for NOLA?

Their average last year was a 508

 

[louisianaguy102]

Their average last year was a 508

where do you see this? I thought it was a 511

 

[Purple&Gold8]

where do you see this? I thought it was a 511

MSAR says 511 their website says 2022 was 77th percentile which would be around a 508
