Sophomore Bulletin
For the Class of 2013
If you haven’t already begun to research colleges, start now! The Naviance program will come up with such lists as the www.echoices.com website funded by our ROP. The free website of all California colleges is www.californiacolleges.edu. If you want to go to college in another state, then you can use either NAVIANCE or echoices websites to search for colleges geographically.
Many factors are involved when choosing a college. Some students set up a check list or chart using the excel software, for example, listing all factors under each college to which they want to apply.
* If you are already considering applying to a California State University campus when you become a senior, you may begin filling out your application now! Go online to www.csumentor.edu and click on the “plan” tab. You can fill out the classes that you have already taken and the grades you have received in those classes. By the time you become a senior that information will be transferred over to your application.
* Begin to research activities and/or sports, volunteer opportunities to enhance what careers you are already interested in pursuing (for example, volunteer at a nursing home or adopt-a-pet shelter.)
* In the fall, please stop by the College and Career Center to continue your research because you will find information on careers, colleges, scholarships, summer programs.
* If you are considering a visit to a local college campus or two, there is information about how to go about this online at www.eCampustours.com.
