  • Based on interview, questions, and overall poise, Raquel Lynn Perez (NT) -- No name, 21:32:22 04/18/19 Thu
• great group of terrific young women. (NT) -- No name, 14:26:43 04/16/19 Tue
• Does anyone know when headshots/more info about the girls will be posted? We crown a new winner in less than a month and I barely know anything about the new girls competing! (NT) -- No name, 16:37:07 04/16/19 Tue
  • Some of the girls just posted headshots, but the Miss RI Org hasn't posted all of them publicaly yet (NT) -- No name, 12:49:56 04/21/19 Sun
• So Molly A placed first runner up two years ago but wasn't a finalist last year? (NT) -- No name, 17:52:34 04/17/19 Wed
  • I think, same for Raquel... it doesn’t happen often that a runner up doesn’t even make the cut but in some rare occasions it happens. (NT) -- No name, 19:03:30 04/17/19 Wed
    • It was strange, specially after Raquél won interview once again. (NT) -- No name, 22:28:20 04/17/19 Wed
      • Yeah, last year was a bit odd. I'm hoping this is a good year! Especially since the pageant isn't being held in (the beautiful) Casino theatre this year like it was the past 3 years. (NT) -- No name, 03:09:06 04/18/19 Thu
  • They had 12 contestants, its very easy for someone who was top 5 to not make it if there are no superstar contestants. Raquel's talent is dreadful and there were several solid talents last year that's how she missed the mark. While Molly has a strong talent it appears she lacks in interview. Having a one day pageant with no composite score to sway the outcome makes it possible for stranger things to happen. (NT) -- No name, 06:49:43 04/18/19 Thu
    • Raquel is great, sadly she received bad coaching on song selection last year. Hopefully, this year things will be different. None of the performances I saw last year were stellar. Thankfully, there's more to the pageant than performing. (NT) -- No name, 21:02:18 04/18/19 Thu
      • She received bad coaching overall, unfortunately (NT) -- No name, 10:44:06 04/21/19 Sun
        • Or she’s just not a strong singer. Pick an easy song or do a spoken word. She’s clearly great at interview so turn that into a talent. (NT) -- No name, 06:57:14 04/22/19 Mon
• Rachel Terceira was Top 10-17. (NT) -- yrralh, 11:07:30 04/19/19 Fri

  • Indeed they should but they have yet to post the info - the page says"coming soon" (NT) -- No name, 01:00:24 04/17/19 Wed
• FINALS for multi-day state pageant: Composite: 25%. On stage interview: 25%. Talent: 30%. Gown: 20% (NT) -- No name, 09:02:22 04/17/19 Wed
  • 🙏🏿 thank you (NT) -- No name, 09:10:19 04/17/19 Wed
• Thank you for posting this question. Is there really a final ballot for state finals? (NT) -- No name, 17:00:54 04/17/19 Wed
• I am not absolutely positive but during preliminary competition I think interview is 25%, onstage question is 15%, talent is 50%, and evening wear/social impact statement is 10%. We know for a fact that talent is 50%, and I can't imagine interview being any less than 25%. (NT) -- No name, 17:59:55 04/17/19 Wed
  • I think talent has been lowered to 30 or 40?? Please correct me if I’m wrong... (NT) -- No name, 19:02:04 04/17/19 Wed
  • 40% for locals. 50% for state prelims (NT) -- not sure about finals night, 22:00:24 04/17/19 Wed
    • Ok... makes no sense having different scorings at each level. Just another deed that goes under the stupidity category. (NT) -- No name, 22:13:08 04/17/19 Wed
  • I was told Interview 20%, Talent 50%, OSI 15% and EW/SIS 15% which makes it almost even considering talent is 50 and speaking parts equal 50. (NT) -- No name, 09:24:25 04/18/19 Thu
• If following the guidelines used at Miss America it would be: Prelims - Interview 20%, OSI 15%, EW 15%, Talent 50%. Final night Composite 25% OSI 25% EW 20% Talent 30% (NT) -- No name, 11:55:06 04/18/19 Thu
• I do not understand why they keep messing with the scoring percentages. In my mind, interview should be at least 30%, the onstage question (because that's what it is - not onstage interview should be 10% and give the girls ample time to answer. This business of a 20 second clock is ridiculous. When again will they be asked a question in an interview and the person asking it will stay stop, your 20 seconds to answer is up. Why put the candidates through that kind of pressure when it won't be a realistic expectation in the future. Talent should be 40%; 50% is too high. And the evening wear compeition should be judged like it always has been -- overall first impression, poise, confidence and style. Stating a canned social impact statement has no place in this category. Evening wear should be 20%. (NT) -- No name, 18:50:39 04/19/19 Fri
  • Why are the judging EW at all when Gretchen said it had gone away? (NT) -- No name, 18:57:41 04/19/19 Fri
• For the final night the scoring should be like this. Composite score should be 25%, onstage question should again be 10%, talent 35%, and evening wear 20%. The final 10% should be devoted to a round table discussion with the emcee and top 5. The years they did that when Heather French, Nicole Johnson, Angie and Kate won provided the judges as well as the audience great insight as to who was best qualified to be Miss America.They should have NEVER done away with that. No final ballot, judges can use the composite score as a way of indicating who they feel is best qualified for the job.. Total points wins. (NT) -- No name, 19:05:18 04/19/19 Fri
  • Swimsuit should be 10% -- No name, 16:28:28 04/21/19 Sun
    • I'm okay with them no longer having swimsuit. They need to beef up the competition segments to make the whole thing more interesting. Perhaps show a clip of the cndidate's interview before she answers her onstage question. Show a short video of each of the top 10 on what they've done with their social impact to date And like I said the top 5 round table discussion provides an informative, conversational interaction with the top 5 that really helps the audience get to know them better. And isn't that one of the important criteria for 2.0?. (NT) -- No name, 01:41:07 04/22/19 Mon
      • Why would the audience want to know them better? (NT) -- No name, 03:46:48 04/22/19 Mon

• I wondered the same thing and thought that the one state may have prematurely issued the paperwork that is intended for their eventual winner to use for Miss America - whenever that will be. Anyone care to elaborate in which states are using what paperwork? PS: I think the questions are inane, if a judge wants to now how candidate feels about talent they should ask, not go by an answer that someone (paid coach?) helped them formulate (NT) -- No name, 10:28:55 04/18/19 Thu

      • eyeroll (NT) -- No name, 22:14:03 04/20/19 Sat
• I mean, they are legitimate questions. (NT) -- No name, 12:11:18 04/21/19 Sun
  • How? Describe how you would use your scholarship? Considering you can't go out and buy a car with it, what else would you say, but for you to use it on your education? How would you use social media? Girls have been using social media to promote the program for over 10 years or more now. Instead of this becoming a very exciting and intelligent competition as Gretch said - this is just like the memorized Impact Statement and has dumbed it down so much that it's a joke. And if someone says these questions let them get to know their girl more than ever...then you didn't know your girl at all. How will your girl use her scholarship? Alot of them aren't being paid out and everyone knows what a scholarship is used for. Loans or your current school or continuing education and even some of that has been argued. In any capacity, it's not a cash prize. So what else would you use it for other than school? That's why it's a stupid question. (NT) -- No name, 17:57:25 04/21/19 Sun
    • Lol and with your response to these questions could explain why you never made it in pageantry 😂 (NT) -- No name, 19:20:51 04/21/19 Sun
      • Yeah. Why I’ve worked with multiple girls who won Miss America when it was difficult and not these bad pancake quality questions. For someone to say they listened to their girls answer these questions and learned more about them? This program is dead. (NT) -- No name, 19:36:24 04/21/19 Sun
    • I am curious...do all states allow scholarships to be used for student loans now? I know at one time not so long ago that wasn't the case...some did and others didn't. I hope MAO can at least be consistent in that now. Scholarships should be used for student loans if the contestant who won them so desires. (NT) -- No name, 20:11:17 04/21/19 Sun

  • I don't think the pageant will be saved. The leadership in our state is utterly afraid of the current MAO leadership. While they say they are doing it for the girls, many of our volunteers have been doing it for so long that it has become part of their identity. So they just suck it up, put the blinders on and pretend that there will be a national telecast in September. -- No name, 16:36:19 04/21/19 Sun

  • Off the top of my head, these reps either had held a state MAO title or eventually did: Louisiana, Montana, Delaware, North Dakota, Indiana, Georgia.... Arkansas was a local MAO titleholders. A couple oher names sounded familiar. Louisiana was the most successful, later finishing first runner up to Kaye Lani Rae Rafko at Miss America. I believe Delaware had been Miss Maryland at Miss America. Ironically, the eventual winner had been a state titleholder at Miss America the same year Cheryl Prewitt crowned her successor. Each of the top three in this beauty search pageant were former or future MAO girls and one of those also held a Miss USA state title. (NT) -- No name, 12:35:22 04/20/19 Sat
    • Arkansas competed at Miss Arkansas several times. She was a double preliminary winner and 1st runner up in 1990. In 1991 she was first runner at Miss Texas.

      • I felt so bad for Arkansas in talent.... apparently she was out of breath from running back and forth from the dressing room. She hit a few bad notes but it was obvious she had a good voice. I think she would have been in the top three if not for that. (NT) -- No name, 18:00:46 04/20/19 Sat

        • They are not rewarding them for their experience. Their experience makes them better candidates. No one is saying they should win because of their past experience, but that past performance is the best indicator of a girl's ability and they want to predict how they'll do.

            • But you didn't mention anything about 'programmed pageant girls'. I don't want that either, but if you want to predict who may do well, past experience is a strong indicator. But I have bad news for you-- G&R have made this into a walking job interview with 90 seconds of 'talent' thrown in, so those days are not gone.

• Hoping Cox finally gets it this year instead of an out of state-er (or however you word it), 3 years in a row 2nd run up, that's not right and their board knows better than "it's a coincidence?" Really? The chance a contestant does that 3 years in a row with 20 contestants each year is a 1/8000 chance. Stop doing this to worthy contestants! Crown Cox or Mabone!!! They'll actually do the job of Miss DC. (NT) -- No name, 10:33:38 04/08/19 Mon
  • What's that supposed to mean? Farris has been an excellent Miss DC, and is visible every week. She moved to DC for her job, not to compete. She won because she was the best on that stage last year. And she placed top 10 at Miss America. (NT) -- No name, 10:41:10 04/08/19 Mon
    • I'm from a state that does pick its winner, so I'm biased to believing others are as well, but the fact that the winner was T10 at MA pretty much blows your claim. And stats are just that- predictors. In a contestant field that accomplished, it's not a stretch to believe a girl could be 2RU 3 times.

  • So what you're implying is that these talented, sart, attractive women are not interesting, in fact boring, unless they are parading around in a swimsuit? (NT) -- No name, 11:21:27 04/09/19 Tue
    • Not what I said but the talent has gone downhill - monologues and such and I don't want to see an onstage resume/talking competition. Maybe they can set up desks and we can watch them write essays. They're no longer being judged on appearance and no one wants to see that. There should be nothing wrong with a pageant being a pageant and for girls to work hard on their fitness and show it off. But for some reason that's a bad thing now to be proud of your fitness. There's nothing special about the program now. (NT) -- No name, 11:28:14 04/09/19 Tue
      • I agree that last year's Miss America pageant had some pretty bad talent in the fnal cut. The monologues were ridiculous, but I never "got" Nurse Kelly,either. As there were some terrible vocalists. That said, I think we are always "judged" on appearance and we'll never see a truly unattractive Miss America. She may not be asize 0, but she won't be a 14, either. Talent must be scored properly. If it's a true 5, score it as such. No longer can a woman with a pretty bad talent and passable interview win because she's a freak of nature in the looks department. I'm glad about that. I'm trying to remain positive, for the competitors' sake. There are obviously a lot of American women who want to be Miss State and Miss America. Regardless of the leadership issues and/or rule changes. Women support women, right? Let's truly get behind them and help them navigate this! (NT) -- No name, 12:09:15 04/09/19 Tue
        • I'm the poster above - I agree. I always used to laugh when I would gripe about finals night scoring - not being able to score lower than a 6, and the range being 6 to 10 on finals night - and people would argue with me and say, well but it's finals. No one is really less than a 6 if you make the cut. UHHHHHH...I would say....have you seen the talents in the top 15? There are 3's up in here. I don't know what you call talent but that girl is tone deaf and is singing - and the other girl with the monologue - I'm giving a monologue a 4 at best unless it's a personally written knock your socks off piece of poetry. I judged a pageant once and the monologue was pretty good, heartfelt, and I gave it a 6. I was always told to use the full scale but I've never given a 1 because a 3 is bad enough, and I've never given a 10 because I don't believe in perfection. (NT) -- No name, 13:18:00 04/09/19 Tue
          • And one of the best talents on the stage didn't even make top 10 that night. Confused me so much! (NT) -- No name, 13:44:29 04/09/19 Tue
          • but also they are scoring for the job on the final night not the actuall category. can the do the job? 6 no thru 10- yes, but most the audience does not know this. example. Gabrielle from Mass...loved her interview I can see why she scored well overall and made it to the top 5 (NT) -- No name, 13:52:45 04/09/19 Tue
            • And why they came up with that rationale for scoring the final night is beyond me. Who can do the job should be reflected in the composite score. The other cateories should be scored based on the competiton at hand. Being that there is once again a final ballot there should be no reason why you have to manipulate the talent score based on whether or not they can do the job. (NT) -- No name, 03:45:32 04/10/19 Wed
              • Agree completely. No need for such phony scoring when you can choose the best one for the job with the Final Ballot. (NT) -- No name, 04:08:03 04/10/19 Wed
                • Poster above above. I've never understood the rationale for the 6 to 10 scoring on finals night. Especially with the final ballot. You get to pick your girl anyway. What is the reason for the prelims to be 1 to 10, and then finals night is 6 to 10 only? If someone is a 3 then she's a 3. You don't get to have a 6 to keep you in the game. And now with talents going downhill I see alot of girls I don't want to give a 6, and it doesn't matter anyway with the final ballot. But with the percentages of what counts for what - lousy talents making it through makes no sense. Monologues need to go away - it's just not a talent. And I was always told in workshops that you couldn't perform talent in Interview. Almost every girl that has had Monologue as a talent has said the same phrases and wording in Interview that she repeats in talent. That's performing your talent in Interview and that's not allowed. (NT) -- No name, 14:19:12 04/10/19 Wed
                  • The closer range of scores restricts rouge judges' ability to inflict damage to a girl by low balling them, or from throwing points to others. Suzie is a 7 in talent. If a judge doesn't like Suzie and low balls her with a 2 (x 30%) she receives 6 total pts, verses her receiving a minimum score of 6, resulting in 18pts. If she deserved a 7 and was low balled to 6, she only loses 3 points. Where on the 1-10 scoring, she looses 12 points. (NT) -- Now reverse that for throwing points and mulitiply times 5-10 judges., 12:59:36 04/11/19 Thu

• Former Buckeye here. Who are the standouts this year? (NT) -- No name, 18:07:08 04/09/19 Tue
  • The only person who returned from the T5, despite being eligible, was Mara Mason. Former MOOT14 Rosie Westerbeck is a darling who's a clogger. Former Miss Ohio Renee Autherson Brown's daughter Grace is returning who was T10 last year as an 18yo HS senior. There are 14 freshmen, 6 sophomores, and 1 junior and senior, so not a depth of experience. Of the newbies, Brooke Howard is a champion Irish Dancer ranked 3rd in the US, 18th in the world a few years back. She's Contestant #1, so she'll be setting a very high talent bar. (NT) -- the rest of the field is wide open, 14:49:07 04/13/19 Sat
    • Is Ohio the only state that hasn't set a date yet? (NT) -- No name, 07:36:24 04/15/19 Mon
      • OH Finals - 6/15 (NT) -- No name, 07:47:22 04/15/19 Mon
        • Where will it be held? The theater in Mansfield doesn't have the pageant listed on the schedule. (NT) -- No name, 01:37:28 04/21/19 Sun
          • Their Facebook Page says Renaissance Theatre. (NT) -- No name, 09:35:27 04/21/19 Sun

• Please add any updates/changes/corrections required. (NT) -- PageantGuru, 03:36:19 03/11/19 Mon
  • Photos (NOT all) are posted on the Miss Texas website, and there are some changes in titles. Namely, Ashley Johnston is Miss Fulton not Miss Aransas County, and Kendall Kerasek is Miss Oysterfest NOT Miss Fulton Oysterfest. Most of the women who were crowned in the last weeks of the season have not had their pictures posted yet, so it appears the Miss Texas website is still a work in progress. (NT) -- Pageant grrrl, 17:08:28 04/04/19 Thu
• Are there more locals? (NT) -- No name, 09:51:43 03/11/19 Mon
  • A whole bunch of contestants have been crowned, and Miss TX social media is saying their class is complete. Click in for the list I have, which includes some fair.festival titles, too (the recent ones I've found are bolded)... -- Pageant grrrl, 15:51:14 03/19/19 Tue
    • Thank you! (NT) -- No name, 16:08:24 03/19/19 Tue
• Texas head shots are up. There are some beauties in Miss and Teens. Stand outs (photos only), Miss: Co;;eyville, Collon county, Frisco, Lone Star, Love Joy, Plano, Southlake Teen: Bay Area, Dallas, African American teen in white tank top (no name given), Southlake, Sugarland, Grapevine, Ft. Worth. But they all have fabulous photos!!! (NT) -- No name, 13:01:04 04/04/19 Thu
  • (NT) -- PageantGuru, 13:10:28 04/19/19 Fri
• Photos are up on the Miss Texas website. (NT) -- No name, 14:28:53 04/04/19 Thu
• Tx workshop was this weekend. Who are the ones to watc (NT) -- No name, 15:04:24 04/15/19 Mon
  • From the talent showcase, my list includes: Bay Area, Ft. Worth, Frisco, Carrollton, Dallas, Park Cities, South Lake, Hunt County, and just to make an even 10 I'll add Lone Star and Arlington (although their talents didn't make my top list) My top five is Frisco, Dallas, Southlake, Bay Area and Hicks (although she looked exhausted tapping her interview is usually top notch) (NT) -- No name, 15:22:35 04/15/19 Mon
    • This is a great list...pretty much what I came away with. Was really blown away with Bay Area. Lufkin was a pleasant surprise, too. Great list! Thanks! (NT) -- No name, 16:36:55 04/15/19 Mon
• My thoughts- winner will be either Dallas or Park Cities, with Plano, Hunt County, & Richardson rounding it out. Top 10 is Arlington, Bay Area, Frisco, Houston, & Lone Star. Top 15/bubbles are Carrollton, Coppell, Fort Worth, Southlake, & Texarkana. (NT) -- No name, 17:27:49 04/15/19 Mon
  • To add, most of this is if talent is weighted as heavily as we think it is, and which states actually follow the new scoring strictly. That will make or break a lot of contestants, plus interview. (NT) -- No name, 17:34:54 04/15/19 Mon
  • Totally see Dallas winning both Miss and Teen. Who will rise this year and who will fall this year, with the new scoring? (NT) -- Think TX would crown Park Cities?, 23:54:45 04/16/19 Tue
    • Completely depends on who connects best with the judges. Judges' opinions and ultimately their votes are only ones that count. (NT) -- No name, 10:45:12 04/17/19 Wed
    • Didn't Dallas win both titles last year? (NT) -- No name, 14:25:50 04/17/19 Wed
      • Yes. So if the most qualified contestants (in the judges' opinions) are from the same title, and if that title won both the year before, everyone would cry "foul" and jump on the conspiracy bandwagon. So what is an ED to do in that instance, tell the judges "no way" which is in violation of the "don't mess with the judges" stance? Or let it stand, and be slapped with the accusations of rigging the pageant? Seems like a no-win situation for any pageant director. (NT) -- No name, 16:45:45 04/17/19 Wed
        • Um, you could have stoppd with the one word answer "yes" (NT) -- No name, 20:10:30 04/17/19 Wed
• How does Plano perform as far as talent? Is she also a ventriloquist like her sister? (NT) -- No name, 16:57:33 04/17/19 Wed
  • No, she’s a violinist. Pretty good. (NT) -- No name, 17:08:49 04/17/19 Wed
    • Isn’t she a fiddler? (NT) -- No name, 17:54:10 04/17/19 Wed
      • She plays the Orange Blossom Special. Lovely girl, very friendly and will score well in talent. (NT) -- No name, 18:24:36 04/17/19 Wed
• Does anyone know if Bay Area is the same Marissa Murdock that was 2nd RU in Colorado last year? Dallas was Top 15-17. Lewisville was Top 15-17. Richardson was Top 12-18 (may have been People's Choice). (NT) -- yrralh, 11:41:37 04/19/19 Fri
  • Yes (NT) -- No name, 13:21:41 04/19/19 Fri

  • Top talent -- No name, 12:13:16 04/10/19 Wed
    • Yes, you have heard it many times before. Elise is singing "Don't Rain On My Parade." While I'm sure she will do a good job with it, there are so many other songs out there that I'm sure she could have done a good job with and made it her own like she did with "On My Way."

The Comfort Inn and Suites was a good home for the contestants these past few years, but it's awesome that they're going to the Best Western- beautiful hotel. (NT) -- No name, 20:43:02 04/14/19 Sun

• I like Miss Texas USA's look and interests in reading very much, but felt that her video was too brief and didn't give us a real feel for her personality. (NT) -- No name, 08:41:16 04/16/19 Tue
  • The videos are brief because they are just providing a first look at the contestants. (NT) -- No name, 11:24:04 04/16/19 Tue
• There is something very special about Miss Kentucky USA. Unusual to be a poised, beautiful woman who is studying mechanical engineering. (NT) -- No name, 08:55:18 04/16/19 Tue

    • Great group of young ladies! (NT) -- Am loving Brianna Mason!, 13:39:45 04/08/19 Mon

        • definitely agree with you on Brianna! (NT) -- tnfan, 08:49:36 04/18/19 Thu

• So funny that you asked this. I dreamed a couple nights ago I was filthy rich and found out the MAO trademark/license was up for renewal. Gretchen and crew were so busy being stupid they didn't realize it. I swooped in and got them and everyone was sooooooo happy!!! (NT) -- No name, 16:59:12 04/16/19 Tue
  • AN opportunity like that would be awesome. Aside from a couple of sentimental charities, I would jump at the chance to restore Miss America to its former glory. (NT) -- No name, 18:34:06 04/16/19 Tue
• The opportunity may happen sooner than later. We should all be prepared to help once the effort gets started. (NT) -- No name, 18:38:33 04/16/19 Tue
  • It’s not happening. No one has the finances, contacts, or ability to direct such a large scale operation. (NT) -- It was a valiant effort, but It’s just an idea not an actual plan., 19:02:56 04/16/19 Tue
    • A girl can dream..... (NT) -- Everything changes eventually, 19:20:32 04/16/19 Tue
    • I agree we can dream all we want, but I think it's best to not encourage unrealistic expectations. There are several people closely associated with the original MAO who were/are very financially capable of funding the now defunct lawsuit to it's conclusion, however not one of those people stepped forward to do so. If they wouldn't donate for that, I sadly doubt they are interested in coughing up the big bucks necessary to resurrect the pageant now. I'm open to being convinced otherwise though - it would just take some concrete evidence that something is in the wind. (NT) -- No name, 19:58:30 04/16/19 Tue

• **Yes! Beautiful class! REMEMBER when we actually got to speak about the “contestants” being beautiful?! Now it seems that comment isn’t okay anymore and frowned upon. I completely DISAGREE!! Just because the current leadership ruined the traditions and the integrity of the program shouldn’t mean that we can’t still comment about the beauty of someone. It is ok to be beautiful, talented, intelligent, kind and well spoken- even if this leadership treats it like it is undesirable or impossible!!! So, so sad and awful what this program is now. Heartbreaking!! (NT) -- No name, 15:41:41 04/15/19 Mon

• Does it really matter why a young woman chooses to compete? Perhaps it helps with her self esteem. Perhaps she loves getting her passion, her platform noticed and, let's face it, a shiny hat does garner attention, both positive and negative. The bottom line is this: if a young woman CHOOSES to compete, it's her decision, is it not? And whatever her reasoning is, it's still HER DECISION. I really think all the negativity towards the women involved is just counterproductive. So much anger and bitterness. Please don't direct that at the contestants, or candidates, or whatever they are being called these days. If it bothers you that much, seriously, move on and try to find ways to cope. Start your own pageant. Volunteer. Spend time with family and friends. But please don't degrade the women who are trying to make THEIR dreams come true. (NT) -- No name, 07:22:45 04/05/19 Fri
  • ^^^^^thank you (NT) -- No name, 08:32:59 04/05/19 Fri
• I agree with the original poster. for sweeps pageants, some don't even award scholarship so it clearly isn't about scholarship. But I also agree with the second poster. If you ask athletes why they play it isn't for a trophy. ( that is icing on the cake like the crown) but they do it because they LOVE the game. So I don't think the OP was bashing anyone, just commenting on that it really isn't for the scholarship. I hear more girls say they compete for the friendships and opportunities. For me, I like to dress up and in our casual world we rarely get a chance. People wear pajama pants to the store for Goodness sakes. Even bank tellers dress down now. So there are many reasons a girl might compete. Not just scholarship, but that is how we try to sell it. (NT) -- scholarships are really pretty small, 10:03:25 04/05/19 Fri

• My families agreement was we would pay for undergrad but not graduate school. My daughter competed,won and had the honor of going to Miss America. At the State and National level she won over $36,000.00. She was NOT a finalist at Miss America. She understood that winning her state was a job. She secured a partnership. Earned additonal funds for her education throughout the year while promoting MAO and her platform. Since she graduated number one in her class earning a medical degree debt free larger due to these funds.Winning your state is what you make of it. She chose to wear the crown to better our state program while working hard throughout the year to earn what she needed to make her education dreams become reality. Yes, we spent funds on warerobe but the money spent does not even remotely compare to the live long friendships and connections she developed, and our families memories,those are priceless. Earning the job is what you make of it just like everything else in life. -- No name, 11:10:33 04/05/19 Fri

  • Why do you send your kid to a top tier school when a modestly priced school will get them a degree just the same. Yes, they offer the best education, but they also offer the most intelligent, competitive, and business and socially connected peers. The same is with MA. You're amongst a diverse, accomplished group of like minded young women. Well worth the cost for the experience and life long connections. (NT) -- No name, 13:04:04 04/06/19 Sat
