JUNIOR YEAR (CLASS OF 2009)

March
Start visiting colleges; if you can, schedule an interview. You should also have your feelers out for "college night"-type announcements from your counseling office—and start getting to know your academic advisor while you're at it. By now you should have a good idea of which teachers you'll want to have write letters of recommendation for you; it also doesn't hurt to list your high school activities so you won't forget about anything when it comes time to complete your applications. Even if you don't have time to do all this stuff during your junior year, do it over the summer. That way, you'll start your senior year ahead of the game.

To Do:

Got a plan yet for summer? Check out these summer programs.
Keep preparing for the SAT/ACT/SAT Subject Tests (whichever you are taking).
Attend a local Strategy Session about the SAT/ACT.
Ask a few teachers if they'd be willing to write you a letter of recommendation next year (they'll appreciate the advance notice).
