The Junior Toolkit: What high school juniors should do now to prepare for college.
The Junior Toolkit is not just a "college admissions" e-book; it's a complete set of tools, including videos and other companion materials, that will help guide high school juniors as they begin taking their first steps toward college. The junior year is a critical time for future college applicants, and knowing how to make the right decisions now will help ensure that all possible options are available when senior year—and college application season—rolls around next year.
Please you don't need a Kindle or e-book reader. You can view it on any device, or even in your web browser.
Here is a section-by-section breakdown of what the Junior Toolkit
Section 1: Academic Planning
Your junior year is unlike any other. You’re an upperclassman now, and this is a time when admissions officers want you to push the limits and take some academic risks. This section, with its “Academic Planning” video, will help you understand what colleges expect from you during this critical time, and how the choices you make now can increase your odds of getting into the college of your choice.
Section 2: Choosing a Major
This is a daunting choosing what you want to do for the rest of your life… or at least what you want to study for the next few years. But do you have to choose now? The answer, as usual, is a resounding “it depends”. When you finish this section, including the “Choosing a Major” video, you’ll have a much better idea where you stand.
Section 3: College List Building
There are thousands of colleges in the United States alone. How do you even begin to sift through them all and find the handful that are right for you? This section, with its “List Building” video and more, will provide you with everything you need to create a solid, realistic list of potential colleges.
Section 4: College Visits
Should you actually set foot on the campuses of the schools to which you’re going to apply? What should you do once you’re there? Do admissions officers care if you visit their schools? What if you are unable to visit? This section, with its “College Visits” video and more, will guide you through this overwhelming (but exciting) process.
Section 5: Standardized Tests
Standardized tests are a source of real anxiety for many students. But should they be? How much do they really matter? Do all schools weigh them equally? Which test should you take, the SAT or the ACT? There are a lot of questions swirling around the topic of standardized tests, and this section will shed light on all of them.
Section 6: Summer Planning
Yes, how you spend your summer matters to college admissions but perhaps not in the ways that you think. In this section, which includes one of the most popular and entertaining videos in any of the College Specific Toolkits, I will help you understand how to make the most of your summer.
Please you don't need a Kindle or e-book reader. You can view it on any device, or even in your web browser.
