- Practice = see where you excel
- In October, all juniors take the PSAT (Preliminary SAT). Prepare for the PSAT by taking the sample test included in the student bulletin which also explains more about the format and content of the test and has helpful tips. Juniors who score in the top two percent of test takers nationwide will be eligible to compete for scholarship funding from select colleges, companies, and organizations. colleges do not typically ask for PSAT scores
- Believe it or not, this is exactly what a student should be doing as far as the college process goes. College will assess their preparedness and achievements in academic and personal areas as they consider a students application.
- Will you contribute to student life, the arts, athletics? Colleges expect you to get involved in meaningful activities outside the classroom. High school offers opportunities to try new things and challenge yourself outside of the classroom, including acting plays, joining clubs, playing sports and becoming a leader.
- You will encounter problems if you are so involved that you have no time for your class work. Grades are always the central factor in an admission decision. A laundry list of activities will not compensate for a poor performance in the classroom . Don’t join every group on campus just to have things to list on your college application. College admission officers recognize “resume-builders”.
- Let’s say you have discovered that you have a talent for working with younger students, and are considering applying to teaching programs. Have you gone and applied for an available proctor position on campus? Did you work at a day camp over the summer? Do you baby-sit on the weekends? Does one of your essays address why you want to teach? All of these activities convey and reinforce the idea that you enjoy teaching and give colleges a sense of who you are, what is important to you, and why you want to apply to education programs.
