Prepare
for College Now!!!
- Review
your recent and current class schedule with your school guidance counselor.
Make sure you have taken, and are taking, college preparatory courses
which will be required for admission to a four year institution.
- Strive
to maintain an "A" or "B" average in your course
work.
- If you
have not done so, check with your high school counselor about the state
high school competency exam.
- Participate
in academic enrichment programs. Many colleges and universities have
excellent summer programs for high school students. Contact the Office
of Admissions at the school of your choice for more information about
such programs.
- Take
the PSAT
- Obtain
an SAT registration form from your high school counselor. If finances
are a problem, ask your counselor about information regarding a fee
waiver.
- In the
early Fall, begin to prepare for the SAT/ACT. Several guidebooks are
available, as are computerized programs, which may help you prepare.
If you need help contact your counselor.
- If possible,
attend college fairs and presentations by representatives of colleges
and universities. Listen to school announcements for information about
representatives visiting your school.
- Create
a file on college and universities which appeal to you. Write or call
the Office of Admissions of these schools to request a copy of an application
for undergraduate admission and financial aid. Ask about your proposed
college major.
- Read
all college materials you receive carefully. Research the requirements
for admission and compare costs and types of financial aid available.
