For students with the graduation year of:
2015 & Above: Understand what’s most important. It is essential to be aware that your high school transcript – a document that outlines your course work, grades, attendance and other important information – will be the most significant item when you apply to college. Therefore, strive for high grades, good attendance, and take rigorous course to achieve a strong transcript.
2014: Plan college visits. During your junior year, you should make it a priority to visit colleges you are interested in attending. Visiting colleges is the best way for you to get an idea if the college is a right fit for you. Sit down as a family and have a discussion about what colleges you should visit and when.
2013: The clock is ticking! Most Early Action deadlines are November 1. If you are planning on applying Early Action to any of your schools, check the admission deadline and finalize your application ASAP!
2012 & Below: Beware of plagiarism. Taking credit for another person’s thoughts or words by plagiarizing or cheating is grounds for expulsion at most colleges, even if you didn’t plagiarize on purpose. Know how to cite your sources within your papers and do so consistently. Your instructors may specify which formatting style in which they would like you to cite (such as APA or MLA).
