Strong Academic College with Competitive Cheerleading

  1. She should think carefully if she wants to pursue cheering at the college level – it may take way to much time from academics if she is taking a rigorous course of study. Academics should always be a top priority.
  2. Look at the schools that did well in NCAA competitive cheering last year.
  3. Look at some top schools with big sports programs (ex. Notre Dame, Stanford, Vandy, Duke etc.) because I’m guessing they have good cheer squads (not sure though).
  4. The fact that your S is at MIT is great, but it has nothing to do with your D’s intelligence level, academic interests etc.
