PREPARING FOR COLLEGE

Oct-Nov Checklist

Juniors
  • Register for a fall SAT and/or ACT. Ask your counselor whether you should take SAT Subject tests as well.
  • 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​
  • Finalize your college essays. Many schools will require that you submit at least one essay with your application.
  • Request personal recommendations from teachers, school counselors, or employers. Follow the process required by your high school or provide a stamped, addressed envelope, the appropriate college forms, and an outline of your academic record and extracurricular activities to each person writing a recommendation for you.
  • Research scholarships. Ask your counselor, your colleges, and your religious and civic groups about scholarship opportunities. 
  • Take every opportunity to get to know colleges: meet with college representatives who visit your high school during the fall, attend local college fairs, and tour campuses (if possible).
