Tips for College Bound Teens
-Do The Research. Investigate and research colleges on the Internet or at your local library. Does your child prefer a private institution or a state-funded university? Would the student feel overwhelmed at a large school with 10,000 students? Which universities specialize in your child’s interests or intended academic focus?
-Help your teen remember deadlines. The college application process means allowing enough time to write essays, perfect applications and send forms on time. Keep a calendar of when each application is due.
-Attend college information sessions together. Many high schools offer college preparation seminars and many universities tour the country to give students information regarding their schools.
-Discuss the cost of college. Figure out if your child will be applying for financial aid and how much you can afford to pay on your own.
-Get guidance from your High School. Guidance counselors are a great source of information about college. They can provide insight on testing, tuition costs and the correct college choice.
-Discuss which schools will support activities that your child enjoys. Does your child love running? If so, he may want to consider a college with good weather. If your child is interested in sports, maybe you can find a college that will offer her a scholarship. Have your child talk to his teachers. Teachers can discuss college courses and expectations. They can also write letters of recommendation.
-Visit the schools your child is considering. Once your child is on the college campus, you will have a better idea of the school and how it fits with your child’s expectations.
-Consider entrance exams. If your child receives a high mark on the SAT or ACT, the student if often eligible for scholarship monies.
-Contact college alumni in your area. Regional alumni often offer to speak with prospective students about the educational and social aspects of the school.
-Talk about fears. College is a time of change, and it is helpful to discuss what your child expects once she leaves home and begins her academic career.
