High school gives you tons of opportunities to become educated about the process of college. Being a junior or senior can be extremely stressful with all of the exams and tests needed for college.

SAT scores are a big deal for colleges. They look at those scores to determine if you are good enough to go to their school.

“To get colleges to notice you, email them and try to get tons of attention from the college coaches. Usually, they will ask for a highlight video of you playing that sport to see your potential,” said junior Chris Jarrett.

Applying for scholarships may be a lot of work, but imagine the possibilities if you would just look online and in your school to see the possible results. Scholarships offer money for college tuition, and if you apply for some, you never know how many people applied for the same one. What if you are the only person who applied? Then you automatically win the money.

“The advice that I would give underclassmen on how to do good during their junior year is to focus on school, also to start to look into schools that interest you,” said junior Sebastian Castro.
