Tips To Prepare For College

Preparing for college is an important task for many students. Following a few simple tips can help students prepare for college seamlessly.

Here are some tips for students who are setting their sight towards college:

  1. Start Early: Procrastination is unwise when preparing for college. The key is to start as early as high-school junior year. Going to college is an important personal, professional and financial decision. So, starting early can allow you more time to plan and build a strong profile for your desired college. 
  2. Planning: Start with making a list of things you need to do when preparing for college. Some of the things that need to be done are researching colleges, course subjects, and eligibility requirements. After making a list, review it to ensure you haven’t skipped any important step. Break the list into manageable categories and prioritize each according to time restraint.
  3. Choose Courses: Before choosing your subjects, think about your career goal. Contact career professionals to know about subjects that would align with your career goal. Killeen Independent School District offers a Career Center to students, where they are encouraged to choose coursework including internships and certifications related to their career goal. This can assist students in picking subjects that will help them move forward on their career path.
  4. Mark the Colleges: After deciding the subjects, research about top colleges that offer the chosen subjects. Make it a point to choose a minimum of five colleges and list them on your priority list. Know about the desired student profile of your chosen colleges. This can set the ground for further preparation.
  5. Test Prep: Check for the score required by your desired college; ACT or SAT. A good approach is to prepare for both. Take pre-tests to know about the areas that need improvement. Plan to take the test in your junior year at the latest as this can give you time to improve your score, if needed.
  6. Internships: Enroll in internships that may help you in honing your professional skills and prepare you for college. Internships can also help in strengthening student profile for college application.
