You Have Control Over Your Courses

You do not have to confine yourself to a set of preselected courses that are designed to help incoming students fulfill general education requirements. As you select your courses, be sure that each one is on the right level for you (in some cases, one can

substitute higher level courses for more basic ones). Once you’ve picked your program, you should attend each of the classes and decide whether the professor is

someone from whom you can really learn. Often, there are many instructors teaching the same course, and using the drop/add process, you may be able to get a much

better teacher.

TAKE ACTION WHEN YOU MISSED AN IMPORTANT EXAM OR DEADLINE

Ask Ask “what I missed” when you missed an assignment Take responsibility!! Nobody going to hold your hand

anymore Deadlines

Applying to college has been nerve-racking enough, but I inadvertently made my own admissions process even worse. On my very first application I missed an important deadline — to the school I considered my safety, the University of Texas at Austin. And now I worry I may

not get in anywhere else

KEEP UP WITH ASSIGNMENTS Doing the work is part of the grade You want that “A” work for it Party is fun but too much can be bad From : 7 Things Graduating Seniors Should Know About College

Every Class Counts

There is a lot of redundancy built into high school courses. Many classes go over what was done before, some classes are devoted to preparing for tests, and, once in a while, you don’t really do much at

all.

In college, it’s different. Professors have only 30 or 40 lectures in which to cover the subject, so they try to make each class count. If you miss more than a few lectures, you’re likely to miss out on content that will

be difficult to fill in on your own.

AT THE END OF THE DAY

The work pays off
