Recently, I have been hearing parents say, “we don't think about college until the spring of junior year."
Unfortunately, the emphasis on junior year performance lulls many students into thinking that if they’re serious about getting admitted to a good college, junior year is the time to kick things into gear. There are a wealth of things you can do in your first two years of high school that will not only be significant accomplishments in and of themselves but also set you up for extremely successful junior and senior years.
