- Talk with your guidance counselor about:
- Going to college
- Courses to start taking in the 9th grade
- The importance colleges place on grades and at what year in school grades will start to be considered in the admissions process
- College prep, AP, IB and other honors-level courses you should take in high school
- Academic enrichment programs, including summers and weekends
Remember, you'll have more options if you start planning now and do your best to earn good grades.
