Start to think about your major. Most high school students aren’t sure what career they want to pursue, and that’s okay! Ask your school counselor if career assessments could be helpful because they would highlight your strongest skill sets.
VISIT! Now is the time to start visiting the colleges on your interest list. Most admission offices, including Malone, invite juniors for personalized and group visits. Visiting during spring or summer break is good; visiting while the campus is alive and busy is best. Make sure you are following social media accounts for the schools you are excited about.
Take the SAT or ACT. If you take your standardized test(s) in the spring of your junior year, you have time to retake it for a better score before applications are due. When you take some of the pressure off, you are more likely to be relaxed and at your very best.
Identify scholarship opportunities. By senior year, you should be deep into your scholarship search, so start looking now.
