| If you plan on applying to college during the 12th grade, then 11th grade may be the most important year to prepare. As the last full year of school that colleges can evaluate before they make a decision on your application, what you do in class and out of class during 11th grade is crucial. This year is also when you should begin preparing for college applications by researching colleges and signing up to take standardized tests for the first time. Here are some reminders of things to do during your junior year, no matter which colleges you are considering. |
