College seems like a long way away, but now is the perfect time to begin your search.

Create a:

  • List of characteristics you want in a college (big school, in the city, biology major, soccer program, etc).  This will help you focus your college search to those you are most interested in.
  • List of colleges you are not receiving information from and sign up for their mailing list

Plan on:

  • Taking challenging courses throughout the year
  • Taking the PSAT
  • Attending college fairs in your area
  • Visiting with admission representatives at your high school
  • Receiving lots of mailings from colleges
  • Visiting college campuses you are interested in
  • Perfecting your time management skills
“I look the same on the outside, but the person inside is very different. I am a much stronger person, for instance. I also have a better sense of who I am, what I value and where I’m going in life. Not only did I grow on a personal level, but I grew academically and professionally. Linfield did a great job of helping me with that.”
Niki Hunter, Linfield Alumni '05
