As a rising high school senior, you're on the brink of an exciting and pivotal year. The choices you make and the actions you take in the next few months will significantly influence your future. Here's why you need to spend this summer preparing to hit the ground running once senior year begins.
College Applications: Senior year is packed with deadlines for college applications. By preparing now, you can identify the schools you want to apply to, understand their requirements, and start working on your application essays. Getting a head start means less stress and more polished applications.
Scholarship Opportunities: Scholarships are essential for graduating debt-free. Researching and applying for scholarships takes time. By starting early, you can find scholarships that fit your profile and prepare strong applications. Remember, many scholarships have early deadlines, so don’t miss out on free money for college.
Standardized Tests: If you haven’t taken the SAT or ACT, or if you want to improve your scores, use the summer to prepare. Higher scores can not only increase your chances of getting into your dream school but also make you eligible for more scholarships.
Extracurricular Activities: Colleges look for well-rounded students. Use the summer to deepen your involvement in extracurricular activities or take on leadership roles. This will strengthen your applications and make you a more attractive candidate.
Time Management: Senior year can be overwhelming. Learning to manage your time effectively now will help you balance schoolwork, college applications, extracurriculars, and a social life.
