ADVICE ABOUT COLLEGE FROM FIRST-GENERATION STUDENTS
Making plans, year by year
Your journey to college starts early in high school, and so for each year it helps to have a journey of your progress.
This planning calendar makes it easy, with a checklist for every year of high school. Download and print the section that matches your current grade level, and post it where you can look at it often (on your wall, or taped to the front of a notebook). At the end of each year, save the year’s completed checklist in a special folder marked “College.” It will help you keep track and organized, and remind you of important information when the time comes to apply to college in your senior year.
Get organized. Start early.
