N.B. This is one of the most important years of your education! Colleges
will be looking at your grades for this year when you apply next fall,
because you may not have yet completed many quarters in your senior
year.
August
Review
your course selection for the year. Make sure you are challenging yourself
as much as possible. Consider new activities with which you might want
to become involved for the coming year, without spreading yourself too
thin. Many colleges are seeking "well-lopsided" people for
their incoming classes who have pursued an interest or passion.
