Rising seniors, use summer to get a head start

Posted by David Fahey in Education Articles

Summer is the perfect time for rising high school seniors to catch up and move ahead in the college admissions process.

Here are some suggestions for maximizing your summer vacation:

Visit as many colleges as possible. Without the normal distractions of school, homework and extracurricular activities, most families are able to carve out time for at least a few campus visits. If time, budget and patience are at a minimum, I recommend this summer focusing on “reach” schools (colleges that would be difficult to be admitted to) and “target” schools, and saving visits to “safeties” (schools you’re sure you’ll be admitted to) for next spring, only if necessary.
