Marisa Meddin’s College Prep Timeline:
9th grade is time to explore. Priority one is get good grades and sign up for many clubs and figure out which ones you like best.
10th grade is the year to narrow down your activities and clubs in and out of school.
Consider taking the PSAT 10th grade b/c it’s good practice and get you comfortable with standardized tests. And start looking at colleges casually. End of year consider taking
SAT Subject tests or AP exams.
11th grade there is a lot to do. Take rigorous courses to challenge yourself and keep up your grades. Take on leadership opportunities. And take your standardized tests, PSAT in October and either ACT or SAT or both.
Beginning of 12th grade is crunch time! Sign up for rigorous classes still because colleges do look. Colleges do request a mid-year report and can rescind your acceptance!
Start focusing on college essay a few weeks before school starts to reduce stress! Do test retakes if needed.
Marisa’s advice to teens: Shoot for the stars and push yourself but don’t worry if you don’t get into the best college, just succeed in the college you get into.
