Planning For College
It
is never too early to begin planning for college. The courses
you take and the grades you earn become part of an official
record called a transcript, the most important part of
your college application. Colleges are also very interested
in the clubs, sports, and other activities in which you
participate, including any leadership positions you have
held. Colleges will review this information when making
their admissions decisions along with your test scores
and personal information. Whether you're a ninth grader
or a senior, there's a lot you can do to prepare for college.
Use our planners as your guide. There is information in
each section below that will guide you during your high
school career.
