I want to get into a major collage… how do I start preparing now?

Sorry for the length of my response but I felt it needed to be said. But the first step in preparing for entry into any college is acquiring good time management skills and study habits for with these tools you can acquire good grades which are essential (getting good grades is more difficult in highschool than it is in middleschool). Second you should try to actively participate in class and group activities/discussions because good communication skills will take you a long way in anything that you may do. Third take nontraditional courses or do other nontraditional things that will make you stand out as an applicant but also expand your knowledge of the world in which you live and/or your furture career. Of course there are other things you can do but these are what I feel are most important in preparation for college. Keep in mind that an all around good performance in class is key to getting the letters of recommendation letters you need for college from your teachers.
Another skill that’s praised these days is video skills. Can you tell a story with a video camera? Can you video-tape a science experiment and make it look interesting?
If you keep your grades up, I don’t think you’ll have a problem.
colleges look for the best person all around, and sometimes it’s not necessarily the smartest. yes grades and SAT scores are important, but things balance out.
i am in incoming freshman at UCSD, not bad huh? lOl.
all i can say is do some community service, or may i say a lot.
that can really help. taking college courses in high school also gives points and AP classes look nice. it is hard to tell you what to do or what not to do but i hope what i told you helps, and my best wishes.
