College planning consultant from cardinalcollegeplanning.com? Depending on the caliber of schools to which you apply, you may also wish to sit for 2-3 SAT Subject Tests. While these tests are no longer required at as many schools as they were in the recent past, many ultra-selective institutions do recommend submitting Subject Test results, or will at least consider them as part of the admissions process. For many serious high school students, 9th and 10th grade are the time for extracurricular exploration before pledging a more serious level of commitment as an upperclassman. However, this doesn’t mean filling every waking area with a broad array of clubs, athletics, and other volunteer work in which you have only tepid interest. Rather, students should engage in two to three activities that represent their true passions and align with the future plans. For more tips on intelligent extracurricular planning visit our previous blog on the subject.
