Chosing courses for next year

This is the time of year when high schools require students to select their courses for next year. Many families lament that they have only limited guidance for making such important decisions.

One thing to keep in mind is that the courses students take and the grades they earn in high school are the top two factors colleges consider in their admissions decisions. Check out the Top Ten.

Many people are surprised that ACT/SAT test scores are not the top factor. In fact, the scores are number three and the number of colleges that are 'test optional' is growing.
