1. Continue the conversation about college preferences - Does my GPA match their requirements? Do they have organizations on campus that I would be interested in? What kind of student support services are available?
2. Begin standardized test prep. - All students have the opportunity to take the ACT for FREE their junior year, begin prep as early as possible! Create SAT and ACT students accounts for on-line prep opportunities!
3. Find summer programs to participate in! - Look for programs that will prepare you for your career interest. - Even if the program is not offered at your college of choice, still do it! These kinds of opportunities look good on college apps. (Stay connected with camp counselors, they may be a source for a letter of recommendation.)
