SOPHOMORE YEAR

February & March
You're thinking about summer by now, right? That means summer school, summer travel programs, community service, work opportunities (especially unusual or creative ones)—anything to bolster your experiences and stay focused.

If you're still looking for something to do this summer, get moving. Many programs (especially travel programs) have March application deadlines.
Keep an eye out for College Night at your school—while it will likely be geared toward juniors, attend if you can.
