ACHANG, take all the APs/honors you possibly can, and ones you can get As in. Tell your counselor that you can handle the work, and if she can put you in the advanced classes you wish to be in. You apply to colleges in your senior year, there are different months, anywhere from October-January. There should be meetings with the counselors and their senior-year students, during 12th grade; during this time the counselor will go over your stats and both of you will decide what colleges are good for you based upon the location, costs of the college, and personal preferences.

Don’t forget to take your SAT Subject Tests, preferably the year you take that course. For example, if you take AP World History in 11th grade, take the World History SAT2 in May or June of 11th grade. Yes, you can get nominated for Natl. Merit Scholar, or something like that if you do well on the PSAT during your junior year, so try to do well, but don’t kill yourself over it. There are many scholarships your counselor can recommend and there are plenty of websites online. Watch out for scams though. Good luck, and don’t worry, with your straight As, you seem on the right track.

Also, try to get involved in some extra curricular activities you like, and that you’re genuinely interested it. Perhaps volunteering in a hospital, if you like medicine, and establish good relationships with your junior-year teachers, that is, speak with them, show them you’re interested in the class.
