11th Grade College Prep Checklist

  • STAY on track to meet the minimum course requirements for college admission.

  • TAKE the SAT and/or ACT multiple times. Nearly all App State applicants take these more than once.

  • CONNECT with admission counselors at a college fair in your area.

  • VISIT – again and again! Become a student for a day, attend open house, spend a weekend with a friend or just explore Boone for the afternoon.

  • RESEARCH majors. What is your dream job?

  • MAKE a list of teachers, coaches and community members that you may ask for recommendation letters when you apply.

  • TALK with your family about scholarships and financial aid.

  • TRACK your accomplishments so that you can add that information to your application.

  • GET EXCITED – you’re about to start your college journey!
