8th Grade
If you are currently in the eigth grade, in addition to your research here at WashingtonMentor, you should ask counselors, teachers, parents, and friends any other questions you have about college.
- Talk to your counselor (or teachers, if you don't have access to a counselor) about the following:
- Attending a college or university
- Courses to start taking in the 9th grade
- The importance colleges and universities place on grades, and at what year in school grades will start to be considered in the admissions process
- College preparatory, Advanced Placement (AP), and other honors-level courses you should be taking in high school (9th through 12th grade)
- Academic enrichment programs (including summer and weekend programs) available through your school or local colleges
Remember, you will have more options if you start planning now and do your best to earn good grades.
- Think about pursuing extracurricular activities (such as sports, performing arts, volunteer work, or other activities that interest you).
