JUNIOR YEAR (CLASS OF 2009)

September
Start off the school year by getting oriented to the college admissions process. Take a look around at the seniors in your school: What are they doing? Understanding the basics at the beginning of this year will make planning ahead that much easier. Also, junior year is the year to do some housecleaning with your extra-curricular activities. Think about focusing on the activities that are truly enhancing your life and dropping those that have turned out to be less valuable. It's quality, not quantity that matters.

To Do:

Check in with your counselor about the October PSAT and make sure you're signed up.
Review your transcript. It's always nice to know where you are.
Prepare for the PSAT. At the very least, take a practice test to alleviate anxiety.
Attend a local Strategy Session about the SAT & PSAT.
