From August 1st – August 15th, 2026, a group of high school girls, and the facilitators, Maya and Tess, are setting out on a diverse and multi-layered adventure along Vancouver Island, the westernmost flank of British Columbia, Canada. After arriving at the remote Vancouver Island, we will take a float plane to Nootka Island on the western coast of Vancouver Island which is only accessible by boat or plane. The group will hike the length of its Pacific shore and through the headlands of a pristine maritime environment. Participants will sync with the rhythms of this land as we track the tides, listen to the orchestra of the wildlife, and move together as one habitat, slowly becoming more in tune and comfortable with one another and the land we are meeting. Along breathtaking views, the coastal trek walks alongside the beaches and rocky shores as the trail weaves in and out of the headlands.

Great College Advice | College Admissions Consulting

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Congratulations on completing the first semester of your junior year of high school! As we laid out back in , your junior year is the most important year in preparing for college admissions from an academic standpoint as it is the last full year of grades that colleges will see as they review your college application and it will likely be your most rigorous year of classes with AP, Honors and/or IB courses.

It is also when you should carve out time in your already busy schedule to ramp up your college admission journey. At Great College Advice , our goal is to empower students to manage this in a way that works best for you. Although there is no cookie-cutter approach, here are some suggestions to accelerate the college admissions process in the second semester of your junior year of high school.

Schedule a meeting with your high school counselor

Many high schools will introduce college planning programs to students in the second semester of your junior year. Please attend these meetings where you can gain valuable initial insight to the college admissions process. Your high school counselor will hopefully be a great resource for questions along the way, whether it be pointing you to potential college majors, standardized test advice, local college fair details, local scholarship information, and help with high school course selection. For many colleges, a letter of recommendation from your counselor is required so schedule a 1-on-1 meeting so your counselor can learn more about you. Your high school counselor can be a great resource if you are proactive so use them!

Plan to sit for the SAT/ACT this semester

Spring of your junior year is the time to finalize your standardized testing plan. Although most colleges remain test optional following COVID, we recommend studying and sitting for the SAT or ACT at least once. Some of the most selective colleges have begun to once again require standardized test score submissions. Also, even though many colleges truly are test optional, your admission odds may increase with a test result above a certain threshold. In terms of which test to take, you may want to take a practice exam for each. Many test prep companies will provide free resources as well. At a minimum, we strongly recommend that you sit for your initial exam in the spring of your junior year. Your senior year of high school is going to be super busy, so don't leave the testing until the last minute.

Continue refining your college list

If you were too busy studying during the first semester of junior year to begin researching colleges and majors, the second semester of your junior year is an ideal time to explore what colleges have to offer. The Fiske Guide to Colleges provides a fantastic overview of hundreds of colleges. Compile a list of schools to explore further and visit their websites to learn more. Most colleges now offer virtual tours which is a great way to learn more about majors, dorm life, athletics, dining, and the social scene. For those colleges that appeal to you, sign up to their email distribution lists. As you explore, ask yourself questions along the way. Will you be happy at a rural school, or do you want to be in the city? Do large lectures seem like the way to go, or would you rather have a school with small classes? Based on your academic interests, does this college have the major(s) that you may pursue? Can you see yourself at this school? Make a list of the attributes important to you and what colleges pique your interest. Keep in mind that you should have likely, target, and reach schools on your list-don't just apply to one Ivy League!

Research possible college majors

Now is the time to explore what you want your college major to be. Identify your interests and look up online what careers and majors are associated with them. Some websites offer free tests that assess things you like and dislike and offer possible major choices, which could help you if you're not sure where to start. You can also talk to your counselor about choices and to see if they offer a career test as well.

Attend your local winter/spring college fair

Also, use the second semester of your junior year to attend a college fair near you. Visiting college booths and talking to admissions representatives is a great way to learn more about potential colleges of interest. Introduce yourself, talk to the admissions representative, and ask questions. Visit their website and sign up for their email distribution list. Your high school guidance office will likely be sending out information about these fairs. T he National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) has numerous college fairs scheduled across the country beginning in late January. In the Denver area, the Rocky Mountain Association for College Admission Counseling (RMACAC) is holding its spring college fair in early March.

Plan a college tour spring break trip or visit schools near you

With your initial college list complete, strategize your spring break trip to hit as many schools as possible and within reason. Do not overload your schedule so shoot for one visit per day. Sign up in advance through the respective admissions offices for a campus tour. Check the colleges' calendars or contact the admissions office to make sure that the college spring break doesn't overlap with yours as it is important to experience a school with students on campus.

If you are staying local over spring break, plan a visit to a few nearby colleges. They don't have to be ones at the top of your list. Rather, aim for diversity; check out a big school vs. a small school or a public university vs. a liberal arts college. When you're on campus, think about whether you can envision yourself at a school like this. By starting local and thinking more thoughtfully about what is important to you, you will be able to become more strategic when it comes to future college trips.

Figure out which teachers to ask for letters of recommendation

You will ask teachers for letters of recommendation near the end of your junior year. Keep this in mind as you enter the spring semester of your junior year. Hopefully there will be classes that you find truly interesting, and you come to class every day eager to learn. By coming in prepared, with a positive attitude, willing to collaborate with peers, and actively participating in discussions, your teacher will appreciate your intellectual curiosity. As an invaluable and respected member of the classroom, your teacher will eagerly write a letter of recommendation on your behalf entering your senior year.

Begin thinking about your summer plans

Summer is filled with endless opportunities for high school students, such as:

If you're planning to work and save money for college this summer - congratulations! Having a job demonstrates commitment, responsibility, and maturity - all things that college admissions officers like to see. In terms of rounding out your summer outside of work, it's important to consider the same questions you'd ask when choosing activities for the school year: What do I enjoy doing? What am I passionate about? How can I achieve something and/or demonstrate leadership? Additionally, keep in mind that summer may offer you a chance to pursue interests that you aren't able to engage in during the school year.

Need help kickstarting your junior year college admissions journey?

This to-do list contains recommendations to stay on track and take control of the college planning process during your junior year. However, if you feel as though you need some personal guidance so that you can blaze your trail toward college success, please for a complimentary initial consultation. The team at Great College Advice has deep experience in guiding students along the road from high school to college. We provide personalized college consulting focused on helping make the process of preparing, selecting, and applying to college more successful, less stressful, and more fun. Here's to a great second half of your junior year!

College Scholarship Planning - Merit Aid or Need Based?

Check Financial Aid page on college/university website for information on financial aid process requirements

Check to see if college is need based only (need to submit FAFSA - government funding - and/or CSS Profile - institutional funding) or offers merit aid (that's the free money!)

Check to see if merit aid is awarded automatically or if you need to apply for specific institutional scholarships

Ask financial aid office if outside scholarships are stackable (will they add your outside scholarship monies to what the school offers in merit awards?)

Check the NetPrice Calculator on the financial aid page of the college/university of interest to you to get a sense of cost. All colleges/universities are required to have one available on their financial aid page. A college's net price is its attendance costs that students and parents need to pay out-of-pocket or through student loans. It’s calculated as the college's total cost — including tuition, room and board, and books — minus any grants and scholarships for which a student is eligible.

Call the financial aid office of schools of interest to ask more specific information as needed for your personal situation after all the steps above.

Scholarships for Students of Veterans - Students, do you have a veteran in your family? The American LegionAuxiliary supports various scholarship programs that benefit veterans, the descendants of veterans, and The American Legion Family.
