SOPHOMORE YEAR

November & December
You'll be busy finishing out your semester and preparing for your end-of-term exams, but don't lose your college-prep momentum. Researching colleges is a skill in itself. The more info you can gather about what makes a school a great match for you, the better chance you'll have of making an informed choice when that time comes (and it's sooner than you think!).

Consider investigating the different TYPES of colleges, especially if you have very specific interests, such as arts schools, or military academies, or culinary programs at a CTE (Career and Technical Education) school. Sophomore year is a great time to learn about the broad categories of post-secondary opportunities that exist. On top of this, make sure you're involved with at least one extra-curricular activity.

To Do:

Start researching a few colleges and see what it takes to get in.
