Steps to Take NOW to be College Bound!

• Carefully select your classes based on what you want to major in.

• Take as many AP (advanced placement or college level) classes as you can WHILE in high school.

• Keep an eye on your GPA (grade point average) remember your GPA is a numerical assessment or summary of your grades; your GPA is accumulative- meaning that if you do poorly your freshman year it will be difficult (though not impossible) to improve your GPA. Improving your GPA takes time, and most colleges have a minimum GPA requirement, this is why it is so important to stay focused. Good grades= choices.

• Work to build strong relationships with staff at the high school, you will need these people as both a  job references and to write you letters of recommendation when you are applying to college. NEVER assume someone will be a reference for you, you must ask and honor their decision (even if they say no).

• Get involved in extra curricular activities such as sports and clubs, this looks good to colleges and there could be scholarship opportunities :) Also, VOLUNTEER! (Not only because is feels good but also because colleges want to see what you have done to better your community.)

• Study for your college entrance exams.

*Bonus question- what is the college entrance exam you will take?
