1 O CONNOR HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR PLANNING GUIDEBOOK CLASS OF 2018

2 I t s yo u r j u n i o r y e a r Now is the time to start thinking seriously about college. In many ways, what you do this year will determine which colleges you have a chance to get into next year. Here are some things you can do this year to stay on track for college. Extracurricular Activities College admissions are about more than grades and test scores. Make sure you re involved in activities outside of your classes. Seek out experiences that will be meaningful to you and that will give you opportunities to develop leadership roles. Whether you re involved in theater, music, athletics, or community service, your extracurricular activities show a college that you re a passionate, engaged, and well-rounded individual. Grades & Taking Challenging Courses Grades matter from the beginning of 9th grade until the end of 12th grade. College may seem a long way off when you re in your first year of high school, but those grades will affect your GPA and class rank. If you want to get into a top school and be well-prepared for college, you should choose challenging coursework. PSAT This test doesn t play a role in college admissions decisions, but you should take the exam seriously. A high score on the exam can win you a National Merit Scholarship, and many schools in the country offer a free ride to National Merit Scholars. Also, the PSAT will let you know whether or not you are prepared for the SAT. College Research & Campus Visits Use junior year to start college campus visits. You are allowed two excused school business days for visits. The more schools you visit, the better informed your choices will be. Learn about college admission requirements, majors, cost, housing, campus life, etc. Prepare for the SAT/ACT Use the feedback from your PSAT scores to improve your test-taking skills. The KHAN Academy offers free personalized SAT prep. If studying solo isn t your strength, consider taking a test preparation course. All juniors will take the SAT during the school day in April. Since you re allowed to take the tests more than once and most colleges consider only your highest scores, it s wise to take the test at least twice. Sign up at and/or L o o k i n g a h e a d t o s e n i o r Y e a r Grades & Challenging Senior Schedule Senior year isn't the time to slack off -- most colleges reserve the right to overturn an admissions decision if an applicant s grades take a sudden nosedive. College Visits Early in senior year, you ll have to start figuring out which schools will best match your personality and interests. The more schools you visit, the better informed your choices will be. Be sure to get the most out of your campus visit. Remember, you are allowed two excused school business days for visits. College Applications Look at all of the admission requirements early so that you know what s required of you. The sooner you submit your applications, the better. Make sure your application is complete and polished. Know the deadlines for college admissions and scholarships. Apply at or Admissions Essay Don t put off your essay until your application deadline is looming. In the summer or early in senior year, start thinking about the essay questions for the schools you re interested in applying to. Your admissions essay should be the most thoughtful and polished piece of writing you ve ever produced. Allow lots of time to write drafts and get feedback from teachers and counselors. SAT / ACT To meet application deadlines at most competitive schools, you ll need to have taken the SAT and/or ACT by early in your senior year. Also, if you took the SAT/ACT in your junior year but aren t happy with your scores, the fall of senior year is your last chance to try again. Keep track of the SAT/ACT test dates and registration deadlines. Letters of Recommendation (if required) Your teachers, counselor, and mentors are busy people, so be sure to give them plenty of time to write your letters of recommendation. Also, try to spend some time talking with your recommenders before handing them the forms -- you ll get the best letters from people who understand your interests and ambitions.
