Plan campus visits
Ask your parents if they can take you to visit some schools in February or April so that you can get a feel for what you like/don’t like in a college. This is really helpful.
Start taking the SAT and the ACT
Take each test once to see which you prefer. Be sure you have done some sort of test prep, and try to start testing before March.
Be sure you are volunteering
Colleges will ask. Compassion rules. Heads up.
Research cool summer options
We have great ideas under the Resources section on CollegeMapper, but also spend some time searching on the internet for camps or workshops in your possible major area. This is a great way to figure out what you want to study.
