What should I be doing NOW to prepare?
1. Visit, visit, visit--Visit as many colleges as you can. Check out others on the Internet. Read their materials; know your subject.
2. Interview at colleges you like--Colleges like to know that you are interested in them. Visit, interview, and ask questions. Take your unofficial transcript sent in the mail with you. And don't forget to write a thank you letter!
3. Decide if you're going "early"--Remember, you go early IF you find a place that you absolutely love and IF this is financially ok with your parents. If you are going early, let your college counselor know during the summer.
4. Finish your resume--Although time-consuming, this is an easy task, best completed with parents who remember fondly all the great things you have done!
5. Practice those SATs or ACTs--A little daily practice goes a long way to raising scores!
6. Finalize your college list and know your application deadlines--By the end of the summer, you should have a shortlist of 8-10 colleges to which you are interested in applying.
7. Talk to your guidance counselor--Everyone (students and parents) needs to check in at least once with his/her guidance counselor.
