Review high school graduation requirements with your counselor

Register to take or retake the ACT/SAT if needed.  See www.act.org for test dates and registration information.

Start thinking of teachers who can write you a recommendation letter if college requires it.

Sign up for college representative visits.

Plan visits to colleges and set up interviews or auditions if needed.

Narrow down your list of schools to include some challenges (perhaps above your reach), some realistic, and some safety colleges (most likely to admit you).

Make a file for each prospective school (noting important dates)

Begin to write your entrance essays when appropriate for specific schools.

Register with the NCAA Clearinghouse if you’re planning to play in NCAA sports and you didn’t sign up as a junior. See Mrs. Winslow in guidance for more information.

Begin researching scholarship options.  Check the scholarship board in the guidance office as well as the guidance department website.
