It never fails that people wait too long to begin the process of college selection. "We don't have to worry about college till senior year...MAYBE junior year, right?". NOPE
Day one of student's freshman year in HS. Why?
Because GPA is an ever-increasing component of the admissions process that if you are struggling with it going into your junior year....it become too tough to rectify it by admissions time.
Hint:
Freshman yr end = 3.30 or better
Sophomore yr end = 3.65 or better
Junior yr end = 3.80 or better
WHY stop there?
Because now a days, colleges evaluate the student's GPA at junior yr. end for any proposal for merit scholarships! Found out the hard way with Purdue and cost a student over $20,000.00 over 4 yrs! Missed it by 0.25% by junior yr but graduated well above their cut-off and still was not awarded it!
Don't let time get away from you, keep college planning top of mind while in college and do it early!
