6th to 10th Grade Students

Regardless of what grade you are in, you should try to take full advantage of both academic and extracurricular opportunities. Use these years to explore all kinds of interests and to challenge yourself academically. As you approach the college search process, you will have plenty of experiences to draw upon to help determine the college fit that is right for you.

When planning your high school curriculum, be aware that selective colleges and universities seek students who are intellectually curious, having challenged themselves with some of the most rigorous courses offered at their high school. It's also important that your level of academic challenge allows for plenty of time to delve into a variety of non-academic pursuits, or to contribute to your community in some meaningful way.
