Juniors 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.
