Things to do during junior year:

-As always, do your best in school
-Come up with a list of colleges, including safety/match/reach schools, that you might want to attend/apply to
-Take the PSAT/NMSQT (and study for it beforehand!!)
-Take the SAT and/or ACT (and SAT II tests if you want or if any of the schools you’re interested in require/recommend them)
-I would recommend taking SATII Tests in the same subjects you have classes in and in May or June so the
material is fresh in your mind
-Talk to your parents about college!!! Applying, visiting, affording, etc.
-Try to visit some of the schools near you or schools you’re interested in (during school year or summer)
-Take advantage of opportunities your school offers to juniors- college reps visiting, college fairs, job fairs, etc.

(I’ll probably think of more stuff as soon as I post this lol)
