March
Start visiting colleges; if you can, schedule an interview. By now you should have a good idea of which teachers you'll want to have write letters of recommendation for you; it also doesn't hurt to start keeping a list of your high school activities so you won't forget about anything when it comes time to complete your applications. Even if you don't have time to do all this stuff during your junior year, do it over the summer. That way, you'll start your senior year ahead of the game.
To Do:
- Keep preparing for the SAT/ACT/SAT Subject Tests (whichever you are taking).
- Ask a few teachers if they'd be willing to write you a letter of recommendation next year (they'll appreciate the advance notice).
