Official Report of GRE Scores ► Request that the
Educational Testing Service send this
office (our code is 6385) an official report of your Graduate Record

suggest that since it takes at least six weeks and sometimes longer for
the official GRE reports to reach us, you might like to submit a
photocopy of your "Student Copy" of the scores. This would enable the
Admissions Committee to evaluate your application while waiting for the
official scores to arrive. We require a total combined score of 1000 on
the Verbal and Quantitative segments as a minimum for consideration.

Official Transcripts ► Send two copies
of your official transcript from each college or university that you
have attended (including other institutions in the LSU System).
Transcripts that show transfer credits from other colleges you have
attended are not acceptable. We require that the transcripts be sent
from the Registrar’s Office of your University
directly
to this
Office. Transcripts issued to students are not considered official.

Goal Letter ► All
programs require a letter from applicants stating your
long-term and short-term goals in relation to your program of
study.
