CollegeFindMe A2. There are things students can do during the summer of their Junior year going into Senior year. #CFMchat ▶️ They can start by following this college planning checklist: blog.collegeboard.org/how-to-start-p…

CollegeFindMe A3: Colleges love to see students giving back to their communities. Internships and volunteering opportunities provide a great sampling of the issues and passions a student is interested in. These are topics students can discuss in depth in the college essay. #CFMchat

😂 love it!!

A4: If you have the means to visit a college, then we highly recommend you do it! The college you decide to attend will become your home for the next couple of years, so it’s important to get a feel for the campus. #BetterMakeRoom #CFMchat

A4. During the visit, ask 🛏️To visit a residence hall if you plan to live on campus 🏛️If a summer class is in session for you to peek in 🍔To eat at a campus dining facility #CFMchat

Great advice!!

A5: Check out prep books at your local library! Ask your peers and recent graduates if they have any resources or prep books that you can keep. (And then pass it along to a peer once you're done!) #CFMchat

👀💰💰💰

A6: Absolutely. Students should use the summer when their minds are clear and there is no school work on drafting their essays. #CFMchat
