I’ll put in a plug for LSU. I am an LSU grad and will admit Bama offers nice awards particularly for National Merit Finalist but LSU offers good merit scholarships and the Honors College is impressive. Right now LSU Honors is my daughters safety school but as I’ve visited multiple Ivies I see how LSU is modifying the curriculum to offer a more personal experience. The Honors College modifies LSU core curriculum requirements to match a distribution requirement met with seminars rather than a strict core curriculum taught via larger lectures. This seems to be similar to Princeton’s style. I’m not saying LSU is offering a Princeton education but the price tag is substantially less and they post the ACT/SAT’s required for the various merit scholarship levels.
