College Admissions
The most common question in the college admissions process: When do I start? In order to minimize being overwhelmed, it is a good idea to begin the process, gently, at the beginning of high school and raise the focus around course selection time of sophomore year (late January, post midterms in most schools). This process becomes a definite priority as a rising junior (summer before junior year) and carries on through mid-senior year.
