Preparing for College Tip #5: Consult Your Calendar
There are a couple of "preparing for college" planners on the market these days which feature to-do lists and timelines and other information pre-printed throughout to help keep you on track during your college search process. Although you may find those tools useful, we've created this sample timeline for you to include in your own planner, or that of your parents. This will help you during your junior year of high school when the search process begins to heat up.
