    Sophomore year is an important year in the world of college admissions.  It is the start of standardized testing and a good time to begin to think about where you might like to go to college and what you need to accomplish to make that a reality.  
    Here are some general guidelines:
    • Review high school graduation requirements, college entrance requirements, and collegiate athletic requirements, if applicable, and make sure you are taking the proper courses.
    • Take advantage of career interest inventories to determine possible career choices.
    • If you are enrolled in advanced courses, consider taking an SAT Subject Test in those courses.  Talk to your teachers about whether and when to take these tests.
    • Work hard and get good grades. Your GPA is just one piece of the puzzle, but it is an important one.
    • Continue to be involved in extracurricular activities and search out leadership roles.  Continue volunteering.
    • Continue documenting your activities, honors, and awards.  
    • Start to research colleges and universities and explore possible majors and careers on GACollege411. Start a calendar of important dates and deadlines.
    • Visit colleges when they are in session and start to compare what you like and dislike about them.
    • Start to look at financial aid information.
    • Make your summer count. Find opportunities to study, volunteer, or explore an area of interest.
