How to start preparing for college when I'm a freshman?

<p>I’m a senior in HS and I’m making my decision for college now! It’s crazy how fast high school goes by. My biggest piece of advice to you is to spend a lot of time researching the schools you want to apply to. See what they want to see in students that are applying to their schools. Make sure you visit them and get a feel for the schools early, and go to college fairs! Going to college fairs helps a lot, as you can talk to people who work in admissions, see what they require, and even mention what you’re doing in HS right now. Most of them will tell you if you need to add anything or if they think you should get in with what your doing already. Best of luck! </p>
