<p>UPDATE: Having achieved National Merit Semi-Finalist status, D has qualified for a$68,000 scholarship at the University of Cental Florida + $12,000 in Bright Futures Scholarship (Florida resident). As we have purchased a pre-paid college account, she basically can pocket that money and look to use that money for an advanced degree. As a result, I don’t think she will be applying to the Ivies for undergrad. She is holding out hope for the Jefferson Schoalrship at UVA or a full ride at Vandy or Duke, but short of that it looks like UCF is the ticket. If anyone has any thoughts on the matter I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you everyone for the great insights and direction. This is by far the best site for college information.</p>
