The process of exploring college options and understanding the steps to take to be ready for the application process is important for high school sophomores and juniors. In sophomore year it is helpful to begin to learn about the wide variety of college options available to students. At this point, it is not about making a firm college list, but it is about students educating themselves on college. Specifically, thinking about different learning environments colleges can offer, the sizes of the schools, research and internship opportunities, majors that are offered, etc. Sophomore year is a time to explore what is available to students, as well as to begin to understand the application process and what colleges are looking for. Sophomores can benefit from being reminded about how important grades are, but in a way that allows the student to have a balanced and successful high school experience.
