• Develop good study habits – your grade point average (gpa) begins with your 1^st semester grades this year! Check out the Study Helps link.

• Read, read, read – your vocabulary development will be invaluable when you take standardized/college admissions tests (SAT, ACT).

• Write right – take every opportunity to develop your ability to express your thoughts clearly in writing.  Good spelling and grammar are NOT optional.

• Get involved – try a variety of extracurricular activities to help define your interests.  Colleges want well-rounded students.  Begin your Activity Resume.

• It’s not too early to visit colleges if you will be in your home country during the summer.

• Get online and do some research on colleges and careers – see the Guidance Links page for some great sites.

• Talk to older siblings and other students about where they’ll be going to college – they are a great source of information and ideas.
