Determining college goals is a key aspect of helping your teen with planning for the future. 如果你的孩子打算上四年制大学, it is vital that they understand they can’t beat around the bush until the last minute. 校园之旅, 申请奖学金, 招聘的时间可能比预期的要长, and it is just as important to make sure your student picks the right college for them as it is to complete 他们高中的毕业要求.
大学入学竞争也很激烈,所以他们需要得到 录取表格和所有必要的文件 在截止日期之前. This means requesting high school transcripts and recommendation letters from their 老师s at the end of their junior year or beginning of their senior year. Many universities offer early admission, so start sending in the paperwork as soon as possible.
这同样适用于 实习. You and your teen can research 实习 in a specific industry and see whether a summer, 秋天, 春天, 或者全年实习更适合他们的学校安排. Again, make sure you have your paperwork completed and submitted in a timely manner.
