Hey everyone! I'm a high school junior, and I want to make sure I'm as prepared as possible for college. What are some things I can do now to set myself up for success in college? Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks in advance!
Hi there! It's great that you're thinking ahead and want to be well-prepared for college. Here are a few tips based on my experience with my own child: 1. Take challenging courses in high school, such as AP or IB classes, to build a strong academic foundation. 2. Get involved in extracurricular activities that interest you and will help you develop valuable skills, like leadership and teamwork. 3. Start researching colleges early and make a list of schools that match your academic, financial, and social needs. 4. Work on your time-management and study skills, as these will be crucial in college. 5. Build relationships with your teachers, as they will be valuable resources for recommendations and advice. 6. Attend college fairs and information sessions to learn more about different schools and their offerings. Good luck with your preparations, and I'm sure you'll do great!
