As a junior in high school, it is natural to be thinking about college and the application process a lot lately. Despite the fact that you can’t take standardized tests or college tours at the moment, there is still a lot you can do to prepare for the future. Here are some tips for college readiness while in quarantine:

1. Make a list of colleges you want to apply to. First, make a list of the qualities that define your perfect college experience– whether that be academics, activities, or location. Then, research schools that have these characteristics and narrow down the ones that you are interested in attending.
2. Study for the SATs/ACTs. Considering how much time we have in quarantine, it’s a great time to study strategies and review the material covered on the standardized tests that you will eventually take.
3. Attend online college info sessions. There are tons of companies that are partnering with colleges to provide free information sessions about their schools, which serve as a good outlet to learn more about specific schools straight from the source.
4. Start your college essay. The majority of colleges use the Common and/or Coalition Application, which have the essay prompts for the upcoming school year for current juniors. You can get a head start by coming up with an essay topic, or perhaps even beginning a rough draft.
