<p>at LSU, with a 29 from a single sitting you will get instate tuition and fees which are around 5k (well it takes a 28). With a 30, you will get FREE tuition. So apply to LSU, retake ACT, try for a 30, and you won’t pay a cent for tuition (a 1330/1600 SAT also gets you free tuition). And even if you can’t get a 30, it’s still really cheap. I am also “from” Texas (moved to NM tho right before I started high school) and I am looking at LSU because LOTS of Texans go there and it’s cheap and its a good school with great football (2007 NATIONAL Championship, and they have the 2009 National Baseball championship). I am taking a tour Wednesday morning (I have never been to La) and I am excited, :D.</p>
