Life Before College

Tips for Getting Into the College of Your Choice

  • Start saving, because a good college can be very expensive.
  • Start preparing for the ACT.
  • Take the ACT more than once; start taking it early; take until you score your best.
  • Retain a high GPA; the higher it is, the better chance you have of getting into a good college.
  • Do research on a college (find out the facts about a college).
  • Get your parents involved; parents can help you with the expenses and help you take care of your personal needs.
  • Try participating in some of your school activities. Sometimes you can find something you are good at, which can lead to a scholarship.
  • Get involved in academic programs; it helps your GPA.
  • Talk to your teachers and high school college counselor; they will have valuable advice to give.
  • Write the college and explain your goals, what you plan on achieving in life, and why you chose this college.
