LSU 2024-2025 (c/o 2029 hopefuls)

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Any LSU students on here that can confirm whether or not the admissions have gone on break for the holiday? Or should we still anticipate to hear before the new year?
Current first year! Checking for my best friend lol the last day for staff is this friday

Damn, I don't think I would be able to even function if I get slammed with five rejections in a week. I'd just crawl into bed and stay there for a few days while crying and eating copious amounts of chocolate. Glad you're not deterred by those rejections and you're still applying! Best of luck!
Considering I’m currently at 8 rejections, it’s a pretty terrible feeling that makes you feel like the most inadequate person.

im so sorry, but you're not an inadequate person 🙁! I would write to the admissions office of each school to ask for a review of what you can improve for next cycle. I've been in that position before, but im re-applying now. Take time to reflect and disconnect, and "grieve" this cycle,. I know that helped me get things off my chest and then re-arrange myself to improve for next time. the only person who can change your future is you! these rejections won't stop you
 
The anticipation. I need to stop refreshing my screen. If not today, I'm assuming we'll all receive something by the end of this week. Bon chance!

This is my 4th cycle. I'm spent. Also, most schools are encouraging students not to ask for file reviews as they are not offering them.

My stress levels have been at an all time high for 2 weeks straight. I need an answer or a breakdown/ mental overload is coming.

I really don't think I'm gonna be accepted, but I just want the suspense to be over 🙁

I got denied last year so my hopes aren’t too high either… so I feel you! Prayers!!
 
Another night of no sleeping. Literally watched acceptance TikTok’s until two last night
I get too anxious watching these. For one thing the song most of them are set to gives me the creeps. And some people roll out 15-18 schools and have one acceptance and the rest rejections. I applied to seven. I had to cut myself off from watching them.

I applied to 7 too and lowkey I wish I had done more now 😞
 
I applied to 13 and it didn’t help me. Hindsight is 20/20 for what we should’ve done, but it’s all “what if” scenarios at the end of the day.
This was my first cycle so I wasn't sure how many to apply to. I just applied to whichever I qualified for with pre-reqs. So total 16. Got into Ross Vet Prep but also already 5 rejection decisions from schools. Now just waiting on the rest.
 
Has anyone been in contact with the admissions office? I thought about emailing but wanted to ask if anyone has before first!

Doesn’t seem like it. Someone has emailed a few weeks ago and got a generic “you’ll hear when you hear” response but wouldn’t hurt to reach out
 
I’m convinced it’s Th or Fri.

Curious as to everyone’s residency. Who is IS and who is OOS? First cycle? Or which cycle?

I’m IS and this is my second cycle but I only applied to LSU last year. It still counts I know. But I didn’t apply anywhere else last year due to not having enough pre-recs met. I just finished undergrad.

OOS first cycle, I originally wasn't going to apply to LSU but I met a 4th year during an externship this past summer who said he loves it there!

OOS Arkansas… [emoji[emoji[emoji6][emoji6]][emoji[emoji[emoji6]][emoji[emoji6]]]]nd time applying in general and lsu specifically!
 
OOS, first time applying to LSU, but fourth time applicant all together

First cycle IS, LSU was the only school I applied to so here’s hoping 🤞🏼 although after reading everyone’s responses on here I feel I may have messed up putting all my eggs in one basket

That was me last year. I tried to get in with the 3+1 but no luck. I had taken most of my OChems but hadn’t done enough of the others to prove myself (I think). Are you at LSU for undergrad? I’m wondering how many people are in the application pool that are already at LSU. My degree is from another school.

And, all it takes is one so you never know. It cost a fortune to apply to the 7 I have this year. Really hoping a yes is out there somewhere although of course LSU would be my top choice for obvious reasons! Best of luck to you!

OOS Second Cycle
 
OOS first cycle applicant, LSU is one of 7 schools I applied to. 1 denial so far, still have to hear back from the other 6 :/

OOS, first-time LSU applicant, but 3rd application cycle! I applied to 6 schools this year. Where do y'all see the last time your portal has been updated?

This is my first cycle applying and I'm OOS! I applied to 5 schools in total.

I’m OOS, third cycle applicant and first time applying to LSU. Decided to apply because of them increasing class size and being more holistic, and my friend/coworker/roommate is a vet that graduated from LSU and loved it!

I actually graduated 2020 from LSU with my bachelors! I didn’t know about the 3+1 until I was in my junior year unfortunately; I did however get my masters in public health in 2022 to hopefully give myself a better chance of being competitive (and also as a backup plan if I don’t wind up getting in after however many tries). But I’m seeing everyone on here mentioning their masters didn’t help much as far as I thought it would, which is nuts! Best of luck to you as well 🙏🏼
 
OOS 2nd cycle but first time applying to LSU. Applied to 8 schools this go around.
