Preparing for College Admissions

Once you have chosen a curriculum, you need to start preparing your child for college admissions. This includes:

• Taking challenging courses. Your child should take a rigorous course load in high school, including college-prep courses in math, science, English, and history.
• Getting good grades. Your child's grades will be a major factor in college admissions decisions, so it is important to encourage them to work hard and do their best.
• Participating in extracurricular activities. Extracurricular activities can help your child develop leadership skills, teamwork skills, and other qualities that colleges value.
• Writing a strong personal statement. The personal statement is an opportunity for your child to showcase their unique qualities and experiences.
• Getting good letters of recommendation. Letters of recommendation from teachers, counselors, and other adults can help your child stand out from the competition.
