Although the college admissions race doesn’t officially start until senior year, waiting until then to have a serious sit-down with your junior student about college planning is like hoping they figure out how to handle sex and drugs without having to bring up the subject yourself. Because by then, it may to too late for any of those discussions.
Increasingly, college admissions offices are less patient with late-bloomers than they used to be; academic readiness is mostly judged on the junior year scholastic record, not just by the grades earned but the kind of courses chosen. Advanced placement and International Baccalaureate classes count for more than regular courses, and junior year SATs are often scrutinized more carefully than those taken in fall or winter of senior year. High school guidance counselors look to junior year performance to guide senior applicants in their selections; while students whose high school grades get progressively better during all four years can be expected to apply successfully to many colleges, those seeking early admission, especially to private schools, need to demonstrate particular academic strength in their third.
That doesn’t mean college planning needs to go into overdrive around the same time your teenager gets his driver’s license. But keeping up with his classes, teachers and performance this year is even more important than it will be next September.
