Are you allowed to have a car on campus? What will I need to furnish my dorm room? $$$ If I live off campus, will I need to furnish it? Will I have to pay utilities (cable, water, electricity, etc.)?

  14. SO MANY QUESTIONS, SO LITTLE TIME… I am here to help you! I am not a counselor but I can help you in your search for a career/school that is right for you. Graduation will be here before you know it, start planning now!

  15. TIMELINE: Senior year: ACT is offered in October, December, February, April, and June Does the college of your choice have a deadline for academic scholarships? If you receive free or reduced lunch, you are eligible for one ACT waiver for your junior year and one for your senior year Application deadlines? Early admission? What is the latest you can apply for admission? Housing arrangements? After January 1, file your FAFSA MTAG prior to September 15th Any other financial considerations? Are you eligible for dual enrollment at MGCCC? They offer eligible seniors one free course during their senior year ($84 is not covered)

  16. Junior year: ACT is offered October, December, February, April, and June ACT score = FREE money for school! Do you have an idea of where you want to go? Visit the college campuses. Are you on track to meet the entrance requirements? Is your GPA where it needs to be? Are you in a club/clubs? Do you hold an office? Are you volunteering with a group? School or otherwise? Are you preparing a resume? Are you saving money? Start looking at colleges’ websites to learn as much as you can about them before visiting so you know what to ask once you get there. Do you know about “study abroad”?

  17. Sophomore year: You may want to take the ACT towards the end of your sophomore year just to see what it’s about. Are you taking classes that meet the high school graduation requirements or classes that meet college entrance requirements?
