Junior Year: Accelerate the Planning

Your sophomore and junior years of high school are a prime time to start planning for college. Here’s why:

  • Narrow Their Interests: This is a great time to delve deeper into their passions. Join clubs, participate in extracurricular activities, and take challenging courses to discover what they are truly interested in.

  • Build a Solid Academic Record: Maintain strong grades in all their classes, especially core subjects like math, science, english, and history. These grades will be crucial for college admissions.

  • Start Researching Colleges: Begin exploring colleges that align with their academic and personal goals. Consider factors like location, size, majors offered, and campus culture.

  • Take Standardized Tests (if applicable): If they plan to take standardized tests, consider taking a practice test to get a baseline assessment. This will give them time to prepare and retake the tests if necessary.

Senior Year: The Final Push

Senior year is a crucial time to finalize college plans. Here’s what they should focus on:

  • Complete College Applications: Ensure that they have completed all necessary applications and essays on time. Pay close attention to deadlines and requirements.

  • Finalize The College List: Narrow down their college list based on your research and preferences. Visit campuses if possible to get a better feel for the environment.

  • Prepare for Interviews: If they are invited for college interviews, practice answering common questions and be prepared to discuss your academic and extracurricular experiences.

  • Submit Final Transcripts and Test Scores: Make sure to send their final high school transcripts and standardized test scores to their chosen colleges.

  • Financial Aid: Research and apply for financial aid options, such as scholarships, grants, and loans. This will help them understand your potential costs and plan accordingly.

Remember, planning for college is an ongoing process. By starting early and staying organized, you can increase your chances of getting into your dream school.
