re: My daughter has been asked to take the ACTs/SATs (slight brag)

If this is the Duke invite, than I disagree. I did this in 7th grade as well. Did better in 7th grade than most did in high school.

Let her do it, good experience. Corny as it may sound, it will look good on her first resume. When trying to land that first job, any and all experiences help. After she has experience, this will obviously not be important, but again - everything helps when all you have is a piece of paper and no experience.

I would imagine if you take a look at everyone who is invited to this event, you are probably looking at a precursor for a decent chance at success. Obviously nothing is guaranteed and there is still a lifetime to go.

Still, congrats to you and your daughter. Being first is never a bad thing, although it can get lonely!
