Spring/Summer of Junior Year-
Visit colleges that you may be interested in.
When you go on a college visit, call ahead
to make an appointment. You will normally
go on a tour and meet an admissions
counselor for an interview. This interview
will focus mainly on what your goals and
objectives are and if the college is a good
match for you. To make an appointment for
a college visit, simply call the college’s
admissions office and request an interview
and a tour. You should never decide to
attend a college that you have not visited.
Take the SAT and ACT in the spring of your
junior year.
Fall of Senior Year-
Retake the SAT and ACT to improve your

If we don’t have them, call the
college and ask them to mail you one.
