You are a high school sophomore and college/career seems remotely in the future. But, that will soon change when you enter your junior year, as achieving your best grades and taking your first college entrance examinations will take place early on your college preparation agenda. You will also begin to consider colleges, a decision that you may finalize early in your senior year. The college planning process will begin once you finish your sophomore year and will end sometime before you graduate from high school.
