What Should I Be Doing Now...for Seniors

As a school counselor, one of the things that I'm asked most often is, "what should I be doing right now"?  I found this helpful calendar on mappingyourfuture.org. It's been slightly adapted.

• Do you know what you want to do after you graduate? If not, stop by and visit with me.  I have interest inventories and career assessments that can help you in answering that question.  
• Save money from your job for college/post-secondary school
• List your top college choices, then request school catalogs and admissions information.
• Visit with college representatives when they visit North Platte.
• Visit the colleges you are interested in.
• Have you taken the ACT? If not, or if you want to take it again go HERE for test dates and to register.
• Compare the costs of the schools you're interested in.  Go HERE for a helpful comparison tool. It looks like this:

Visit and register on Fastweb for information about scholarships, colleges, and financial aid resources.

There's your "to do" list for August. More tips to come later.

Best wishes for a wonderful senior year,
Mrs. Justus
