Making High School Count
For College-Bound Students
You have your daily routine in high school figured out. Are you ready to begin planning your life after high school?
“All of the available college planning information can be overwhelming,” says Carstensen, VP at ACT. “That’s why it’s important to have a direction. The earlier a student begins preparing for life after high school, the better off he or she will be.”
Carstensen has the following recommendations to make high school count:
Take classes recommended for college preparation
College admissions committees take a very close look at your coursework when deciding whether to admit you. Students worry about test results, but they are only a part of the picture. Probably the most important piece of information is your academic record.
ACT MINIMUM recommendations are:
• English: 4 years
• Math: 3 years (Algebra I and higher)
• Natural Sciences: 3 years with Lab experience
• Social Studies: 3 years
• Foreign Language: 2 years of same language
• Additional courses: Computer science, visual arts, music theatre, drama, dance, etc.
When choosing your classes, be sure to check with colleges you’re interested in to compare requirements.

No More School for You?
Four years of college, you’ve got to be kidding! Is that how you feel? You’re not the first to think that, and you won’t be the last. Maybe you know of people with decent jobs who didn’t go to college. You can do the same thing, right? Well, not necessarily. The world is changing quickly, and the work world is changing just as rapidly. Many of those people you know may need to get additional training to keep their jobs.
Even if you aren’t planning on four years of college, you should be planning your high school coursework just as carefully as friends with college plans are. Actually, it may be more important for you to have your plans together since you’ll get a job sooner than those working on a four-year degree.
If you’re planning on earning a high school diploma and being “done with school,” you won’t be prepared for the workforce. In today’s. . . and tomorrow’s. . . world, learning is a lifetime necessity.
“Employers need workers who can work with information and technology, who can communicate, listen, and work as part of a team,” explains Don Carstensen, VP of ACT. “Workers need to be able to continually learn and apply knowledge and new skills in their jobs.”
In a recent national survey, a majority of employers said they don’t believe high school graduates are qualified to enter the workplace. Only 21 percent of employers thought high school graduates were ready to enter jobs.
Most jobs in today’s workplace require some education past high school. Community college or technical courses may be in order for many graduating seniors.
It’s important to keep an open mind because what you think about your career options at 17 and 18 years of age becomes vastly different as time goes on. Dr. JoAnn Harris, executive director of the Career Development Leadership Alliance, suggest that you think of the long-term. “Even if you say you’re never going to college, realize it may be a temporary decision,” she says. “You may change your decision later.”
Most importantly, explore careers and the education needed to enter a number of careers. You may not choose college because you have no clear direction of what to take and what career to pursue. Career research and exploration can lead you to new possibilities. Plans do change. The workplace and careers change. By having a solid background of coursework and skills, you’re better prepared to adapt to change.
