The College Explorer – January 2019

The College Explorer

Happy New Year! 

  • Seniors: Almost there!
  • Juniors:
    • Grades, Grades, GRADES!  Keep your grades up.
    • Get or stay involved and take on some responsibility in an activity, club or cause.  You don’t need a title, but show some leadership in some way!
    • Think about the best time for you to take the SAT or ACT
    • Start planning some spring break college visits
    • Start planning an interesting summer activity
  • Sophomores:  Focus on two things this year:  GRADES and INVOLVEMENT.  Do both!  You don’t need to be involved in 10 things – pick 2 or 3 and really dedicate yourself to those activities/causes.
