Assess Yourself (Part 1)



To figure out the best college for you, the very first step is to know yourself well. Start the investigation this week by assessing your goals and your academics.

ASK YOURSELF

• What do I want to do when I grow up?

 
• What subjects fascinate me?
 

• What subjects might I have to study?

 

• What is my GPA and estimated class rank?

 

• What is the number of honors/AP courses I am taking?

 

• What is my PSAT or PACT score - what might my testing look like?

HOH Tip

 Contact colleges directly through their Web sites and put yourself on their mailing lists. In addition to information, you will automatically receive their applications in the mail the summer before your senior year.

 

 

 

Next week, I'll show you how to combine this information with your personality assessment to begin to find the schools for you.
