What Louisiana Tech University looks for

Frequently asked
What SAT score do I need for Louisiana Tech University?
Louisiana Tech University's middle 50% SAT range is 1100 to 1310. A score in or above that band keeps you in the conversation; below it, the rest of your application has to do more work.
What ACT score do I need for Louisiana Tech University?
Middle 50% ACT range is 21 to 27. The top of that range or above is what most admitted students submit when they choose to send a score.
What is the acceptance rate at Louisiana Tech University?

What does Louisiana Tech University actually cost after financial aid?
Average net cost (after institutional aid) is about $11,864 per year. Net cost varies enormously by family income; run the school's net price calculator for an estimate that reflects your situation.
Is Louisiana Tech University a reach, match, or safety for me?
Compare your stats to the middle 50% above. If you are at or below the 25th percentile, treat Louisiana Tech University as a reach. If you are in the middle 50%, it is a match. Above the 75th percentile and the school accepts above 25% overall, it is closer to a safety. Selectivity below 20% should be treated as a reach for everyone, period.
