PAdaddy Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Class of 2014 rather... it won't let me edit the title or delete the post Anyone happen to be browsing this forum that is a class of 2014 applicant (that will begin the program summer 2012)? I applied last year but was not able to complete my prerequisites in time, looking forward to this year! I heard rumor that the new orleans program will be starting up this year and that our lady of the lake in Baton Rouge has gotten their accreditation back so hopefully all the applicants from down south LA will be able to apply at those schools and not relocate here to Shreveport.

starseed22 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 That rumor about LSUHS-NO has been floating around now for the better part of ten years. There has been some legislative progress but they have yet to hire a PD. OLOL College received their accred. last year and their application period for class of 2014 has begun and ends sept. 1st.

jazzyjoker Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 OLOL is way too expensive compared to LSUHSC. I'd move to Shreveport before paying that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAdaddy Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 I had heard that OLOL lost it's accreditation a few years back and that they are currently on temporary accreditation status. Rumor is also that the PD at OLOL is a LSU-S PA Alum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starseed22 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 OLOL is way too expensive compared to LSUHSC. I'd move to Shreveport before paying that much The gap between the 2 schools may be closer than you think. LSU cost per full time semester for a state resident is 10,823. That is 75,761 after seven semesters only on tuition and fees. OLOL projected cost right now is roughly 81,000. The cost used to be quite different when LSU-S PA program was still a Bach's degree, however they have since changed to a masters program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzyjoker Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 This is the information I was going by. Is this no longer accurate because it is still linked from their program page? http://www.medcom.lsuhscshreveport.edu/ah/downloads/MPAS_Tuition_Fees.pdf Shows about 4K per semester or about 10K per year in tuition and fees. You've got me wondering now!! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starseed22 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Nope my mistake. I misread the same file. So the gap is rather large. Do you live in/near Shreveport now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzyjoker Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 No, I live in Lafayette. I did my undergrad at Northwestern in Natchitoches and my RT schooling through Bossier Parish Comm. College. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAdaddy Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 i do live in Shreveport/Bossier and have friends in the program. I can concur that the tuition cost that jazzyjoker posted are correct. The books for the summer term are ~600$ also. So have either of you applied at LSUS before and do you plan to apply this year? JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzyjoker Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I will be applying this year. I've narrowed it down to LSU or South Bama for this cycle. Any idea where clinical sites for the program are (as in, are they around S'port or around the state)? The instate rotations are the most appealing to me as I have a wife and child. My in-laws live on Toledo Bend, so they aren't too far away (as compared to Mobile). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzyjoker Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I didn't see anything on their site, but does LSU have any kind of early admissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAdaddy Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 as far as early admissions I think last year they granted early acceptance to about 10 candidates due to outstanding GPA/test scores/commendations. Which left about 26 spots for other candidates to vie for. The only difference is that the early acceptance folks did not have to attend interviews and were alerted of their acceptance in early December as opposed to mid January.

jaaldana Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hey all- Do you know how many out-of-state applicants they accept? I'm thinking about applying this year, but I don't know if I would have a good chance of getting in being that I am from Texas (but living in California for the past 3 years). Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKennedy2016 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Hi jaaldana-- I am also from Texas and applied to the program this year. By the looks of it, the odds are certainly not great but then again they typically receive far fewer applications (177 last year) than many schools so I figure it's a bit of a trade-off. This is what I found on their website: "DO YOU ACCEPT OUT OF STATE RESIDENTS? Preference is given to Louisiana residents; however, we are authorized to accept up to 10% of our class as out of state residents." Good luck!

Do they do grant early acceptance after they have received all of the applications after the deadline? or is it first come first serve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skierkid006 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Hey. in response to your out of state question.. I want to say 3. I am actually one of the first ... Im in the class of 2013 and im from Wisconsin. Roughly 10% of the class can be out of state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skierkid006 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Also.. dont give up hope!! I figured for sure I would be out being from Wisconsin, but in reality, there arent that many that apply from out of state so sometimes its just you against the other out of state students! You can email me at sblac3@gmail.com with any questions or concerns you may have.. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
