First, check out the timeline to see where you are in the process, and then make a plan. Organization is the key to success. Outline what you want in a college, and then explore the schools that match your inquiries. Also, keep important deadlines and administrative tasks in order.

Are there things I can be doing outside of school to prepare for college?
|
A.
|
There are several things you can do in high school to prepare for college. Other than maintaining a strong GPA, place equal value on learning time management. For example, get your own alarm clock and use it. I would recommend that you learn to do your own laundry; this could be a science project and save your favorite white shirt from becoming multi-colored during your first semester away from home. Do some grocery shopping, cook a little and learn to budget your money. Basic life skills are essential at college. Also, visit the timeline for more suggestions.
