My advice to OP is to hone the ‘critical thinking’ skills mentioned here, in general. And, for first-level college info and tips, read what the colleges themselves say. Nothing replaces that. You have the advantage that more colleges than ever before are putting forth info about what they value and how they evaluate.

Our standard advice to hs freshmen is to read and read again, then come back in two years when you have started to amass a record. You can also learn by lurking (not what other hs kids say, but seasoned adults.)
