SAT scores "a little braggin"

Post by wevans »

AND a little concerned :o
My girl "7th grader" was invited by Duke to take the early SAT and the scores are back. She averaged scoring higher than 29% of Seniors applying for college "with her highest being 36% higher" :thumbup: of which I am very proud :smt004

What concerns me is that a 7th grader CAN get higher scores than so many kids that are applying for college :smt012 My girl is smart :thumbup: but she aint no Einstein either :lol: which really makes me worry about our countries future :smt009

Congrats Wevans! I totally understand both emtions. Pretty sad when a 7th grader that hasn't had high school math (geometry, calculus, etc) can score higher than a large portion of seniors. If your girl is looking towards Duke and similar schools ya'll better save some pennies over the next 5 years. :o

Are you bringing the whole crowd to the social? I haven't seen Dale and the crew in a while.
In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. And we will understand only what we are taught.

Heck, I aint seen Dale in months! I think they put him into a special unit at the sheriffs department and that has kept him busy :beer: And if the girl goes to Duke, it'll be on THIER dime :smt004

Maybe she would consider the University of Florida?

Just don't let her be a Nole or a Dawg. A brain is a terrible thing to waste

That's awesome!!! Just keep her focused! I did the same thing when I was in 7th grade, went up to Duke, etc... spent the summer up there for their mathematics program did the SAT thing, etc... one heck of an experience.


And you shouldn't worry too much, because when she is "able" to change the future, you'll know she's going to be one heck of a leader doing so!!! :beer: :beer: :beer:

congrats on the feeling of "yeah, my daughter is awesome!" :-D
