Figuring out who you are and what you want to pursue helps lay the groundwork for college and beyond. Consider where your interests lie and what you’d like to pursue in college. Try to focus your classes in that direction. Introductory courses and early preparation can not only help you once you’re in college, but it can show admission reps that you’re serious & hard working enough to succeed once you get there.
Make sure your talents & interests are showcased in your academic schedule. The level of “rigor” can directly affect your admission into college, so it’s important to carefully select classes that will help your college application stand out. Adding a variety of different courses such as AP classes, college classes, sports, and interesting electives can show colleges that you’re ambitious and adventurous.
Classes you take will directly impact your high school transcript—the heart of your application. A high school transcript contains the most important components of your college application. When reviewing your transcript, colleges will take into account your overall GPA and the difficulty of your courses. While settling for easy classes may help to boost your overall GPA, taking challenging courses really show colleges that you’re prepared for college-level coursework
