Your school counselor is one of your best resources as you plan for college. She or he has information about admission tests, college preparation, and your education and career options. Here are some basic questions to help get your conversations started:

1. What are the required and recommended courses -- for graduation/college prep?
2. How should I plan my scheduled so I'll complete them?
3. Which elective courses do you recommend?
4. Which AP courses are available?
5. When is the PSAT/NMSQT going to be given here?
6. Is this school a testing center for the SAT, or will I need to go elsewhere?
7. Do you have any after-school or evening sessions for college planning or SAT?
8. Do you have college handbooks or practice SAT's that I can borrow?
9. What activites can I do at home and over the summer to get ready for college?
10. What kinds of grades do different colleges require?
11. Are there any college fairs at this school or nearby?
12. Where do other kids from this school attend college?
13. What are the requirements or standards for the honor society?
14. Do you have any info to help me start exploring my interests and careers?
15. If my colleges need a rec. from you, how can I help you know me better?
16. Are there any special scholarships/awards that I can work towards now?
17. Can I see my transcript as it stands now?
18. Do you have any forms I need to apply for financial aid?
