I am a Sophmore who just completed my PSATs. From the little research I’ve done online, it seems like a lot of steps in the process to get to college admissions in Senior year! Anyone else out there in the same situation as me? Whats a good way to know all the steps in the process and the timline of what I should be doing and when? I just want to make sure im taking advantage of everything I can to make the application process in senior year as manageable as possible. I’m a first gen US college student in my family so my parents are not familiar with the college process here…kind of need to do my own research to figure everything out.
I found some good articles on college planning and college application timelines by googling “11th grade college planning timeline.”
There is one very good one that covers everything you need to do Freshman- Senior Year - you might use the keywords “Master timeline: college admissions”. Here is the link:
Sometimes links are not allowed, so if it gets deleted and you can’t find it using the key words, PM me and I’ll give you the info.
Most of the process starts next year, but for now you should concentrate on doing well in school and getting involved in EC’s. Good luck!
