I agree with Eric, you'd be amazed what
administrators interested in recruiting good students can do. I
would especially contact the folks over at the Honors
College ( <a href=http://www.honors.lsu.edu/ target=new>http://www.honors.lsu.edu/</a> ). You may even get
some people to join the team.
As for a HS comp,
let us know if you want to do this asap. I have my
contacts with LAAC brass who would love to expand that
field up to 32 if you're not careful. :)
