LSU Acceptance Megathread

45 Upvotes

Hi all,

As some of you may have noticed, there's been quite an increase in "will I get accepted?" posts in the sub lately. In an effort to condense the amount of those posts that we're seeing, please use this thread as a discussion board on that topic. Any new posts relating to acceptance or guidance on acceptance, etc... will be removed.

Hope you all have a wonderful day, and Geaux Tigers!

Academics Has anyone done an override request form?

3 Upvotes

I’m a grad student pursuing a triple degree in Master’s of Library & Information science and two grad certificates in Archival Studies and Records & Information Management. I’m supposed to graduate next May.

Course registration opened last Monday at midnight. I wasn’t awake at that time. When I went on Workday to register for courses, LIS 7505 (a required class for the Records Management certificate) already filled up. I obviously panicked.

There were only two course offerings for the class in Spring 2 (I’m an online student where they split the semesters in half) and only one of those offerings had the professor’s name. I emailed her my situation and asked her if there was any way she could fit me in her course. She sent me the override request form and said she would approve it, but the administration also needs to approve it. I filled out the form and reached out to the academic coordinator. She said she would let me know when they have more information on my form. I gave them a few business days and followed up this morning. She said it takes some time for the offices to go through the forms and that she would let me know when it was done.

Classes shouldn’t fill up that fast and there shouldn’t be such few openings. There’s more than 40 students in my program and this is a required course.

Has anyone done this form? If so, how did it work out for you?

Discussion Help into Senior College

2 Upvotes

Hi! I'm currently trying to get into LSU's College of Human Sciences & Education (HSE), but I'm missing one requirement, which is my trigonometry credit.

LSU is wanting to switch my major to Interdisciplinary Studies because I haven't completed that requirement yet. I was originally planning on taking trig over the winter intersession to get it out of the way, but it's not showing up as an available course.

Has anyone been in a similar situation or know what my options are? Is there any way to stay in my intended major while I finish this last requirement? Could I take trig somewhere else over winter break and transfer the credit?

I'm just really stressed because I'm so close to meeting the requirements, and I don't want to have to change my major over one class when I am set to graduate next December if everything else goes well.

Other masters funding/aid

1 Upvotes

hi there!

I'm in my junior year of my psych & social work undergrad, starting to work on gathering info and pieces for the lsu counseling & mental health masters program.

I want to go to LSU, but i'm wondering about funding. from what i understand, the masters assistantships are first come first serve on whatever is open after the phd students have their own positions secured. is there any other aid that is offered??? Like merit or need??? because it's first come first serve, i understand that it's competitive.

Hoping to hear some success stories from others!!!

Discussion Ok what the hell is up with LSU?

16 Upvotes

Why is it that every damn day almost, something is happening on LSU campus that resembles an uncontrolled environment? Rape, robbery, assault, fugitives, and disrespect. I am a very concerned parent at this point.

I have never seen anything like this. Leadership is lacking across the board.

Academics Upcoming LSU School of Information Studies AI survey

6 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I wanted to sound a reminder for people in SIS/MLIS who might've missed Prof. Benoit's e-mail about the upcoming survey regarding presence of AI in the program. As you might have had to deal with already, some mandatory courses now require use of generative AI and strongly push pro-AI narratives, overly focusing on it to the detriment of information on other relevant library technologies and often not discussing the environmental and ethical concerns.

There is no date set for the survey yet but he described in the e-mail that it should be coming in the next few weeks. Let's respond and let them know how we feel about this push within our program!

New Student Questions Should I still consider going to LSU as a Black woman interested in pre-vet?

0 Upvotes

Hey, y’all, I‘m not sure if it’s appropriate to post this here, but I was wondering if you guys recommend I go to LSU. Lately, I’ve been hearing about the mistreatment of women and people of color and I am both a woman and black. I wanted to go to school for pre-vet Animal science and graduate early using the 3+1 plan. I‘ve been accepted into other schools too. so, I have fall back plans if y’all think I shouldn’t go to LSU.

Other Baptisms and other religious rituals open to photography?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m a grad student/photographer at LSU looking for photo opportunities specific to religious ritual (for my graduate thesis). If you know of anyone or have any leads on places that would be willing to let me photograph a baptism or other ritual, let me know! I would be photographing both digitally and potentially on a large format film camera if the setting allows. I’d be more than happy to share the images afterwards.
