This is what at 28 on the ACT gets you as of today. LSU tuition and fees are around $4830. Tops covers 3950. A 28 gets you $750 a semester. You would still owe $130 for Tuition and fees..
What about ULL??? Tuition and Fees are 3500. Tops covers 3100. A28 gets you 1000 a semester. You would be +600 to go towards books and dorm.

My daughter is graduating this year and there are plenty of kids in her honors classes that have a 27 or better on the ACT. In state scholarships don't even look at you until you have a 32 on the ACT.

[u]These are just the facts that I had to edit because I can't read properly[/u]

4 year tuition is about 38-40k…

Hell, I took out student loans, spent 5 years in college without tops. I owed 12k.
Times have changed.

No ... YEARLY tuition is $9660 TWO SEMESTERS and TOPS covers 3950 EACH semester. A 29 also gets you 750 so we would still be left with $260 PER YEAR, or $130 per semester.

In our situation it's the living expenses that for me aren't worth it when he can live at home and save a shite ton of money.

Wow, my first semester at LSU was fall of 2003. I had the lowest level of tops so no extra money. My fee bill was $425. I can't believe it has gone up that much in the last decade.
