<p>I am a sophomore of an online highschool and i am planning to graduate by june 2012. i plan to finish 10th grade by june 2011, 11th grade by january 2012, and 12th grade by june 2012. so basically 6 months per grade. when should i start applying for colleges? i want to go to msu hopefully! also, when should i take the ACT? thanks :)</p>
<p>You generally take the ACT the spring/summer of your junior year but since you are accelerating 11th and 12th grade into 1 year, I would take the ACT for the first time this fall. If you will be graduating June 2012, you would apply for college starting fall 2012 semester (essentially, as soon as you take your ACT start applying for colleges…).</p>
<p>ohh ok thanks!!</p>
<p>You want to be applying in fall of 2011-- do yourself a favor, work on them over the summer and get them all in at the end of August/ beginning of September of 2011. You can always send your grades/stats as you get them. I agree that you should be taking the ACT/SAT asap, you want to get at least one set of testing done by September 2011.</p>
