Below, we have provided a college planning timeline for juniors video to help make your junior year a little bit more manageable. It's broken down month-by-month to help you stay on track. Follow the timeline as you move through your junior year.

 

Go Shopping 🚗

Of course you are not going to purchase a college like you would a car, but it is a big investment, so you should shop around to make sure you make the best choice for you!  

  • Attend a local college fair
  • View some virtual tours online at https://www.thecollegetour.com/
  • Tour some local colleges in person
  • Plan a road trip on a long weekend or school break to visit colleges further away
