Setting Yourself Up For Academic Success

Preparing for academic success in college begins now while you’re still in high school. Set your sights high by planning to take challenging courses in the next few years. Forging this path will make you a better student, not just a student with a better application.

Embracing the challenge always pays off. Yes, your grades matter to colleges. But it’s more important to stretch yourself and tackle more than you think you can accomplish. You may well surprise yourself. Plus, the added challenge leads to growth, another valuable benefit.
