When should a student start preparing and researching what high school classes will be needed to assure having the requirements for college admissions?
Now is a good time to start.
1. The most important responsibility for a High School student is to increase their grade point average in the core classes i.e. English, Math, History, Science and Foreign Language. All colleges want to see improvement each semester. It sends a message that the student has matured and has an understanding of how important it is to be prepared for each and every day in school. The feeling of the admissions committee is if grades are spiraling upward the student has probably learned how to study to maximize their performance which will relate to success in college when the work gets difficult or overwhelming.
2. Next – the student should focus on creating a personal brand so the admissions committee will have material substance to support their admissions decision. Each of us is unique and possess talents and skills that will make the campus richer owing to one’s presence.
3. Never give up. Never give up. Go in for extra help from teachers, if the student has a dream and wants something bad enough it may take longer to get there or one may have to go down a different path to finally reach the goal, but do not give up.
4. An effective coach working with a passionate high school student can have a significant impact on their pre and post college experience preparing them for the rigors of college by creating a realistic admissions strategy based on truthful introspection, a strong personal brand, meaningful extra-curricular activities with an aggressive pursuit of test scores and grades.
