Note: College Planning
One of the biggest mistakes that students make in planning for college is not starting soon enough. Don't wait until your senior year to take tough classes. Don't wait until your senior year to become concerned about your grade point average. Don't wait until your senior year to get to know your high school counselor. Don't wait until your senior year to take the ACT or the SAT test. Don't wait until your senior year to decide to go to college. Don't wait until your senior year to become aware of the resources in the Student Center.
