Does anyone know a good photographer for Senior Photos? I'm looking for one that has availability within the next few weeks before I graduate. I appreciate any recommendations, especially ones that have experience taking photos near Tiger Stadium.

Tops disbursed but not given

Hello all, im aware that tops is given in the later half of the semester around now but I checked my tops tracker on losfa and its shows up as already disbursed but so far I haven’t received anything. Id like to add the my billing statement showed my entire tuition covered prior to the beginning of the semester so there was no expenses it could’ve gone to. Is tops not eligible to be used as credit authorization? Im a freshman so im not sure how this works but this is really confusing, its says disbursed since october and its now december so im not sire whats going on with that

Pelican Promise

My daughter is a freshman this year. We just filed her fafsa for next year. It shows her SAI is -1500, which from what I read, she should qualify for full Pell grant. My questions is this. She received pelican promise for this school year. With her not living on campus next year, should she still receive pelican promise to help with living expenses? Or is that just to help cover cost of dorm and meal plan freshman year?

Applying

Hey, I’m 19 and am looking for a college to apply to. I spent my past year out of highschool getting my pilots ratings such as private, instrument, multi engine, and commercial license. I had a 3.1 weighed gpa and a 3.5 I weighed in highschool and a 1060 on my sat. I had a lot of extra curricular’s such as 200 community service hours, working full time job for 3 years and 6 years of martial arts where I got my purple belt in bjj. I never took an ATC and had bad attendance. Would I be considered or not because I don’t want to pay money to see if I’m gonna be rejected.

What is considered a passing in the College engineering for Calculus?

I’m a freshman taking calculus and saw that they said you need a grade in the 'C' range for it to count as credit. I currently have a 71 ('C-') and was wondering if I need a 75 for it to count.

Best single person apartments

Hello, I am looking for single-person apartments to move into for January. I already made a list of some I am interested in (Beau Chene, Cobblestone at Essen, Riverhouse, Les Chenes). For me, safety is the number one priority (I would like to avoid Northgate and the Tigerland area). I'm mainly looking for a place that's 1000-ish per month. Thanks!

Summer Classes

If anybody has took summer classes what are they like? I know there’s two different sessions that are shorter and a long session, I just wanted some insight on how they go, are they fast paced, and etc. I’m a STEM major so if any other STEM majors have experience that want to share that would be highly appreciated.

Selective Admissions

Hi everyone, just curious about how bad selective admissions are for Graphic Design majors? I have to go through it my next semester, just wanna see the general consensus from people if anyone has been through that here - I have a couple of projects under my belt that aren't LSU related, and my portfolio is decent. Is it super hard to pass through it? Any tips to make my chances of getting past the portfolio review better?

LSU Vet Med school

What is the process to apply to vet med school? I have a family friend who wants to apply for Fall 2025 but I'm an engineering student and I have no idea about the process for that. I also don't think they have any interns or shadowing experience in any vets to receive a letter of rec from a veterinarian. Is there alternatives or does that not matter? Please help. Thanks

Confused about scheduling labs

So I'm scheduling a little late because I had some issues, but now I'm looking into getting into a lab to work on fulfilling that requirement. So I'm in BIOL1001 right now, which does not have a lab. But when I look at my degree audit to figure out what I need to take, BIOL1001 is listed there in the lab options? Which is confusing. I already have BIOL1002 scheduled for next semester. Which I know doesn't have a lab component either. So am I wasting my time by not taking science courses with labs? How do I know which labs I can take? My degree audit doesn't seem to be helping much. Is the lab scheduled separate from the class? May seem like a silly issue, but please someone help a confused freshman out! Anything is appreciated, sorry this is disorganized but I really am just lost here :(

Seek Advices From Pre-nursing Students,Please

Hi everyone,

I’m currently considering applying for the Pre-Nursing program at LSU, and I’m wondering how ACT scores are viewed in the admissions process for this program.

•	For those who have applied or are planning to apply, how important do you think the ACT score is for getting into Pre-Nursing?
•	Did any of you decide not to submit your ACT scores? If so, how did that affect your application?

I would love to hear about your experiences and any advice you might have. Thanks in advance!

Looking forward to your responses!

Grad School App// LORs might be late??

Okay so two of my three LOR writers straight up said they were going to do it last minute (everyone is busy). Well the application is due on December 1st and I wanted to submit it this Friday (29th) but those two haven't submitted them yet. I've politely reminded them but I just realized it's Thanksgiving week(end) and they're probably busy/not checking their faculty email for the rest of the week.

  1. Can they still submit them to the portal link they were sent after I submit the application?
  2. How bad is it if they submit them after the deadline?

I'm panicking
