High School Students
High school is a time for students to explore post-graduation options that best fit their interests and goals. If attending a four-year university is a goal, building up experience through internships, activities, and leadership opportunities can help students stand out on their college applications. Ensuring academic performance is the best it can be and that specific college requirements (like the A-G coursework for the UCs) have been met are also vital during this time.
