Be Prepared for College Admissions
Your first year of high school is an exciting adventure—it's when you start laying the groundwork for your entire high school journey and set your sights on the college dreams that lie ahead. Ninth grade is your chance to jump into new extracurriculars, try out passions you haven’t discovered yet, and begin imagining the countless career paths waiting for you. It’s a time to explore, take risks, and let your curiosity guide you. Use this checklist to stay on track and map out your future, taking bold and inspiring steps toward what’s next!
-
Explore! The first year of high school is the perfect year to try new extracurricular activities and to stop participating in activities that you no longer enjoy. Colleges want people who are passionate and who challenge themselves, so don’t be afraid to try out a new club or sport. When you start your sophomore year, you’ll need to deepen your engagement in extracurricular activities, but for now your goal should simply be to find out what excites you and try a lot of new things.
-
Begin to think about your college and career plans. Talk to your parents, your guidance counselor, and your friends about life after college. Thinking about it now and planning ahead will give you the knowledge and confidence to make good choices when you apply to college during your Senior year.
-
Get organized. Minimize college application stress by creating an organizational system to keep track of paperwork and use calendars and spreadsheets to keep track of important dates.
-
Become a good student. Your classes will become increasingly difficult over the next few years. Now is a good time to create good study habits and to start off your high school studies with an excellent GPA. You will also be busy outside of regular school hours with extracurricular activities, sports, and you might even have a job so this is also a good time to teach yourself good time management practices. Consider working with a private tutor if you need additional help.
-
Choose your classes carefully before the Fall semester begins. You should be taking the most rigorous courses available to you and also be taking the right prerequisites for the AP courses that you’ll be taking later. Meet with your guidance counselor and have them help you choose the right classes for you.
-
Read a book about college admissions. The more you learn about college admissions now, the less mistakes you’ll make along the way. Be informed!
-
Read, read, read! Developing strong reading skills and reading for fun will hone your intellect, turn you into a well-rounded person, and give you the critical thinking and reading skills that you’ll need to succeed in college. It doesn’t matter if you are reading graphic novels or War and Peace, you’ll be building your vocabulary and improving your critical thinking skills. Read for fun and do it often.
-
Go over every item on this checklist at least once every months to make sure that you are planning appropriately and that you aren’t missing any important dates.
