If you’re looking to start the school year with some goals, here are a few recommended college planning objectives that will help you stand out and enjoy the process.
- Identify your favorite class and give a great performance.
- Quit an activity that’s going nowhere and replace it with something you’re more excited about.
- Worry less about SAT/ACT scores. They’re never the most important part of the admissions process and deserve less attention and anxiety than a lot of students give them.
- Don’t limit you college enthusiasm to one dream school. That gives too much power to one admissions decision and is a sure way to make the process a stressful one.
- Listen to the right people. Your counselor and admissions officers know a lot more about how to get into college than your friends and neighbors do.
