One extra curriculum activity I would like to

throughout my high school years I participated
and enjoyed these activities.
6. Planning Checklist for High School
Students
Fall Junior Year:
Research the schools you’re interested and start to aggregate the information you need for
decision-making.
Check the test dates for the SAT/ACT and register for a spring test date.
Start thinking about how you will pay for college – you may want to start exploring
scholarship opportunities.
Now is the time to really hit the books and show a strong junior year of academics. This is
also when you want to start studying for the SAT test – early preparation is key!
Spring Junior Year:
You’ve been studying for the SAT at a nice pace since the Fall. Now is the time to make an
official score of it!
Add some achievement tests to your record. If you’ve been taking Advanced Placement
classes, be sure you take the associated tests.
Start to consolidate your college picks to reasonable number – a top ten list. Start
scheduling visits to the colleges you have chosen.
Start looking for a summer job!
Ask your teachers for recommendations. Make this as painless as possible for them by giving
them plenty of time, perhaps over the summer, or securing your recommendations before
other students – i.e. over Christmas break.
7. Summer Junior Year:
1. Summer is for college applications! These can take a considerable amount of time
given all the places to be and people to see during the break. Note: keep copies of all
applications sent.
Fall Senior Year:
Keep in contact with your high school guidance office to make sure transcripts and
other necessary paperwork is sent to your university picks.
If you were unhappy with your first SAT score, this is the time to take your test! You will
need to have your final test taken a minimum of 8 weeks before you submit your score
to colleges.
Finally – mail your applications! The wait begins.
Winter Senior Year:
In December the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) will be available at
your guidance office. You also can download and submit it electronically. To apply for
Federal Aid you will need to gather copies of your family’s recent tax forms and bank
statements. You will also need your driver’s license and any W-2 forms.
Mail out your FAFSA early! The latest date it will be accepted is in June.
In four weeks your Student Aid Report will arrive. This will outline your financial aid
package and it will need to be signed and returned.
Spring Senior Year:
Check the mail! College acceptance letters should be arriving. Acceptance letters will
also include your financial aid information so look at it carefully.
Accept an offer! Congratulations. You are about to enter what is arguable one of the
most important chapters in your life. Enjoy it.

9. What Courses Are Needed for
Neonatal Nursing?
o The three major educational paths to registered
nursing are a bachelor's degree, an associate degree,
and a diploma from an approved nursing program.
Nurses most commonly enter the occupation by
completing an associate degree or bachelor's degree
program. Individuals then must complete a national
licensing examination in order to obtain a nursing
license. Further training or education can qualify
nurses to work in specialty areas, and may
help improve advancement opportunities.
