College Planning
Visit the princetonreview.com Colleges & Careers page for some excellent college prep advice, organized month-by-month. Students planning to attend Community College should start listening for announcements in March about applying and taking the placement tests.
General focus for winter/spring 2008
Seniors: Make sure to meet all deadlines. Check your email regularly and read it thoroughly. Follow through by sending colleges all requested information, on time. Fill out the FAFSA & the Cal Grant GPA form well before March 2nd. Keep your grades up. Apply for scholarships.
Juniors: Volunteer, visit colleges during holiday breaks when possible, complete the bridges.com interest survey again.
Freshmen & Sophomores: Explore bridges.com for career ideas and take the interest survey again. Keep a file of all honors, awards & volunteer service. Even a scrawled post-it note will help you later in building a resume or filling out an application.
