Louisiana is so poorly represented on these forums. Let's change that :)

 

Drop a line if you are planning to apply to LSUHSC PA Class of 2014.

I'll be applying! Good luck to everyone.

I am seriously looking at LSU but I noticed that only 10% of accepted students are from out of state. That is not very good odds. Does anyone have any advice for an out-of-stater?

They accept 38 so 3.8 students "COULD" be from out of state. I would venture to guess that there are not 5 serious out of state applicants that even apply (because the reputation of LSUHSC has always been that they lean towards in-state applicants) . Even with that said I can tell you that grades are the "top of the mountain" for the admissions committee here from my experience. If you are a student with out of this world grades... regardless of hands on experience if LSU is where you want to study you have a great shot.

 

I applied last year and made it to interview and standby bid status. I will tell you that they flat out asked us on a form we filled out and turned in if LSUHSC was the only school we applied to (and maybe how many other schools we applied to) so I get the feeling they like their applicants to have LSU ranked in their top schools. This will be the first year LSUHSC uses CASPA so it will be interesting to see how that changes their adcom's views if at all.

Im from Wisconsin... I got in. I thought for sure I would have no shot... however.. it seems like it is you against the other out of state candidates. There usually arent that many. Just make sure that your application is filled out the to fullest, everything is done with pre reqs and know that most get interviews... that is your time to shine!

I applied from Texas (I went to UT), still haven't heard anything back from them though.

[PAdaddy 10]

good deal Ashley, keep us informed.

[jaugusti 10]

Hey there! I applied to the LSU program and got an email saying they won't assign interview dates until December. I'd love to get an interview, but since preference is given to Louisiana residents, I won't have priority as I'm a resident of California.

[Slboeker 10]

I also applied and also am from Texas (went to A&M for undergrad and Texas Womans for masters). Good luck to everyone.

[PAdaddy 10]

Ditto. My response says that they will wait until closer to Dec 1 (the application deadline) to assign interview dates.

[JKennedy2016 10]

Hey guys! I applied to LSU this year as well and received the same email. I am from Texas and also graduated from Texas A&M. Hope to meet some of you in the coming months. Good luck everybody!

[jazzyjoker 10]

Did any of you guys get invites? I got an invite for Jan 9th. I've been accepted to another program, but I feel as though I should go ahead and go check out LSU's program.

[JKennedy2016 10]

jazzyjoker--congrats on the interview invite AND the recent acceptance! I personally haven't heard anything from LSU yet. Did they contact you by mail or email? What program did you get accepted to if you don't mind my asking? Thanks for the update!

[jazzyjoker 10]

Email. I got accepted to South Alabama through their early admissions program.

[theshandan 11]

Congratulations Jazzyjoker!

Does anyone know how many interviews they offer? I must be the nervous type because although I came to these boards thinking information would help relieve some of the anxiety of waiting, I 'm not feeling much relief : ) Good luck everyone!

[skierkid006 10]

@jazzy, what program did you get into?

[mferra1 10]

[PAdaddy 10]

Woot!! Fingers crossed for you Mferra1. Did you submit CASPA today or had you already done that and gotten a response today?

@Delta - Some of the folks that submitted CASPA way early (i.e. I think Jazzy submitted his back in September) have received interview invites. His is scheduled in early January. Noone else on this thread has mentioned scheduled interviews, however I know they are already filling their dates. Just be patient. I havn't been scheduled either :)
