PREPARING FOR COLLEGE

Fall Checklist

Juniors
  • Begin to prepare for the ACT or the SAT.  Map out a potential schedule for testing that will allow you to retake each test as necessary.  Consider your academic load and extracurriculars to ensure you have adequate time to devote to test prep.
  • Visit with your school counselor to make sure you are on track to graduate and fulfill college admission requirements. If you’re ahead of schedule, consider AP/IB courses or take courses at a local university or community college to start earning college credits. 

Seniors​
  • Organize regular decision applications and financial aid forms.  Most applications for regular decision will have a deadline of January 15th or February 1st.
  • Request that your SAT and ACT scores are sent directly to the colleges you are applying to.  Most applications will ask for self-reported scores but you will still need to submit official reports. 
  • Every college will require a copy of your transcript from highschool.  Talk to your school counselor to find out your school's procedue for requesting and sending transcripts.
  • Research scholarships.  Ask your counselor, your colleges and your religious and civic groups about scholarship opportunities. ​​​
