Re: Preparing Daughter for University

Hi;

I am trying to prepare my daughter for a University. She is in the 7th
grade, and scored 96% in math in Terra Nova Tests(As I understand
that, she is in the top 4% of the country). She is also enrolled in
the Talented and Gifted program and scored 39 out of 40 in her non
verbal entry exams into the program. The administrator of the test
said that put her IQ somewhere around 150. My wife and I have never
been to college, but we are willing to do what ever it takes to get
her there. All of her teachers are constantly telling us how bright
she is. I realize her dreams may change, but currently she would like
to be a lawyer. The College of William and Mary is 20 minutes from
our house, so it would be great if I could get her enrolled in there.

Any advise on what I should be doing to assist her would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks and Merry Christmas
Pat

I would suggest that you see about having her take the SATs right away in
order to qualify for the Johns Hopkins Talent Search. That would enable her
to participate in their programs, which are very enjoyable for bright kids
her age. My son loved them. (JHU offers financial assistance for their
programs, also.) Go to http://cty.jhu.edu/ and explore. Another thing to
look into is the Davidson Young Scholars program at http://www.ditd.org/.

Both would offer some educational guidance in the coming years, as well as
educational opportunities.
