<p>@Sybbie, I did “skim” the datasets, thank you for posting them! I just haven’t had a chance to really read them, read them. I tend to gather all my information then start making decisions (similar to “brain storming” then making more rational decisions once I’ve gathered all my options). I know it’s going to take prep, but I really believe that she can get to a 500 in all sections (she’s was at a 47 in two sections on PSAT 10th grade --I know she can bring them up with enough prep and we will be prepping her). I may be crazy, but I really think she can get the qualifying score for Venture – I just do and that’s kind of my personality. I went through 3 years of infertility and a doctor told me that I had no chance of having a baby. I said, “oh, yes I will, I believe in miracles”. I had a baby girl 3 years later! My son got into a reach school. I live by a very optimistic, determined path :). I don’t give up easily is what I’m trying to say. Now, I know I don’t necessarily have much control in this case, but I am going to give it my best shot to help her. I will go to a plan B when I have a plan B, lol! Am digging up more on grants through Hispanic College Fund, etc. today…just gathering info. stage still…</p>
<p>Oh and I have been reading about the fact that the list may be outdated, but still this is so helpful to at least give me a couple leads to research. And not to worry, I always do my homework and will look at all school websites. I really am grateful for the help.</p>
