Oooh, thanks for all the links y'all have posted...I'm about to go check them out.

We hope she will have an academic scholarship, of course--she usually makes straight As--and both being teachers, Mr. C and I stress scholarship strongly. However, we have found that unless you have over a 1300 on the SAT, the big state universities around here aren't gonna offer you much except loans. Therefore, we're trying to give our children every scholastic advantage--such as teaching them how to study, how to take tests, etc.--but also make them desirable to colleges in some other way. So far, it's worked with the first 3.

However--most of our daughters are tiny and probably have little hope of getting "typical sports" scholarships. That's why we're focusing on areas like twirling, dancing, and cheering.

Thank you again!
