[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. My daughter did. She was a National Merit Scholar.  No sports.  But high test scores. She had colleges fighting to give her money. [/quote]

That's awesome PP! Do you have any more information that you can share on the types of schools that your daughter got into? Or anything else that made her attractive for the scholarships? (Please ignore the very jealous PP from above!)[/quote].

Sure! Our other kids are just your typical average college kids. We didn't do anything different with our daughter - no test prep or supplementing, ever. She is just very smart, works hard, and tests well. It's nothing we did. She got into all the schools she applied to. Two Ivys and three good state schools.  The public schools are the ones who threw money at her.  She was involved in chorus and drama, but no leadership roles to speak of. Her GPA was high - 3.95.  But it was her test scores that won her the scholarships. She accepted a full ride at University of Florida.  Not where we thought she would end up, but she loved it! And it was free, so we loved it too. [/quote]

That's great, PP! Would you mind sharing about how many APs she took?[/quote]
