# GET A HEAD START BEFORE SENIOR YEAR BEGINS!

*Are you wondering what to do this summer to prep for college application season?*

 The summer between junior and senior year should be filled with fun, focus, and future planning. Students need a solid plan for how to use the summer months to stay on track for the college admissions process. After all, the more a student gets done over the summer, the less stressed they’ll be in the fall. 

To help you out, I’ve created a month-to-month checklist to keep students on schedule for a successful college application season!

This free guide covers ten big ticket items to accomplish before the summer winds down and includes some of my best tips for rising seniors before that all-important school year starts.
