Next week, you have to check for your individual career counseling meeting!
Prepare a challenging schedule for senior year.
Meet with your counselor
to determine what classes you’ll take next year and to make sure you’re on
track for graduation. When you pick your classes, don’t load up on easy
electives. Colleges do consider your senior year courses and grades, so stick
with a schedule that challenges you.
Start a scholarship search.
There are lots of scholarships out there; you
just need to spend a little bit of time and effort to find them. Check with
your guidance office for scholarships from local organizations and use
online scholarship
search tools to find a wider range of options. The sooner you start looking
for scholarships, the easier it will be to select some to apply to during your
senior year.
Contact your recommendation writers.
Teachers and guidance counselors are often
asked to write recommendations for lots of students. Consider whom you want to
ask now and let them know so they’ll have time to prepare before getting tons
of requests in the fall. Ask teachers who know you well and who will have
positive things to say. Letters
of recommendation from a coach, activity leader, or adult who knows you well
outside of school are also valuable.
Apply for a summer job or internship.
Summer employment and
internships in fields you’re interested in will look appealing on a college
application or resume. The money you earn can also be used to help pay
application and testing fees in the fall.
Organize your financial aid information.
Develop a plan that
includes a list of the aid sources, requirements for each application, and a
timetable for meeting the filing deadlines. Getting organized will make the
process of applying a lot easier because you’ll know where to find important
information.
Start working on your application essays.
Compose rough drafts of
the essays you’ll need for your college applications. Have a teacher read and
discuss them with you so you can see what to work on. Make any revisions to
your application
essays and prepare final drafts. Don’t forget to proofread your final
essays a few times.
