Freshmen Year Checklist |
- Meet with the counselor for your Freshman Visit to begin planning your High School and college goals.
- Make a list of academic and personal goals. Review them at least once a year.
- Check out web sites of your 'dream' colleges. What are their admissions requirements? Are you taking the right courses?
- Create a file. Get a milk crate and some folders. Keep all your important papers, grades, magazine articles, scholarship opportunities and other important work.
- Find fun and interesting ways to volunteer.
- Start a portfolio to keep track of your activities, volunteer work, jobs and who the contact person is. Write down your impressions, especially what you do and don't like about each activity. Gradually, you may begin to see where your interests or potential college major may become.
- Talk to your parents about how much money may be available for your college education. Not a lot? No problem IF you plan ahead.
- Join a sport, club or student government. It’s never too early to begin a resume or potential references/recommendations for college.
- Set short and long term goals for yourself.
