PSATs are typically first taken during the 10th Grade…so it’s not too early to be thinking about preparing for College!

Here are some of the key elements of College Vision’s ’College Admissions Planning Process’…for 10th Grade Sophomores:

• We’ll begin discussing Personal Interests & Career Options with your student.
• We’ll begin the exploration of College Choice preferences & options.
• We’ll encourage your student to get into a Leadership Role in an organization or activity.
• We’ll start the process of organizing College Information, Materials, and Correspondence.
• We’ll begin preparing for Campus Visits. (It’s not too early!)
• We’ll develop a focused strategy for Student-Athletes and those with other Special Talents.
• We’ll continue to help your son or daughter improve his or her Study Habits.
• We’ll continue to focus on getting Good Grades!
• If it hasn’t yet happened, we’ll help you check the high school Curriculum Requirements for your ‘target’ colleges.
• We’ll continue to help engage students in the decision-making process, so that they’ll learn to look at their options more carefully; to act more deliberately; and to take responsibility for their decisions, behavior, and performance.
• We’ll continue to encourage your student to get to know his or her high school counselor…and vice versa. Remember: counselors and teachers only like writing College Recommendations for students they know & like!
• We’ll continue to help you map out a plan for meeting your future College Expenses.
