You want College Board.\nThey have a free scholarship search, and info about schools, as well as planning guides.  It is as close as you can get to a one-stop shop for all your school prep needs. It is a good idea to talk to your school's counslor, but do not count on them to do all the work for you.  Good luck! \nTry this:\nhttp://www.collegeboard.com/student/pay/\nthis is the scholarship page, but don't forget to check out the other stuff too.

There are any number of online sources to help you with this. My personal favorite is: http://www.collegedata.com/\n\nAnother good source is your high school guidance counselor.\n\nYou certainly seem to have the requisite maturity to do well in college. Good luck!

STUDYING AND GRADES\n\n1)Find a good place to study. Most likely your dorm room will have too many distractions\n\n2)Be sure to control your own time. Don't let your friends set your schedule.\n\n3)Don't panic! If your first grades are lower than they were in high school remember that adjusting takes time. You will learn quickly how to manage your time.\n\n4)Learn WHAT to read. Honestly the amounts of reading you will get might scare you at first. It's essential to keep in mind the professor doesn't want you to just do the assignment, they want you to take something away from the assignment.\nCLASSES\n\n1)GO TO CLASS! Go even if someone says it's a blowoff class If you think about it, you or your parents are paying ALOT of money for you to be going to class. Surprisingly there are not that many classes, go otherwise your wasting THOUSANDS of dollars.\n\n2)Don't try to write down every word the professor says. Focus on the key points. Often the last few things a professor says in lecture are important to listen till the end.\n\n3)Don't be intimated by professors. They are willing to help you the same way your teachers from high school were. Often professors are a great asset outside of class that is usually overlooked.\n\n4)Don't drop a class at the first sign of trouble. Talk to the professor and seek help. The first month of a class is often the most straining.\n\n5)Use the schools services such as tutors and writing centers. They are there for you.

You will be entering your sophomore year. You really don't need to start applying for scholarships until the summer before your senior year, although you should make sure you take the PSAT (I got a full scholarship based on my PSAT score!) in your sophomore and the ACT or SAT (or both) in your junior and/or senior year. I would recommend checking with your school's guidance office. They can give very prudent advice. You may also look into online opportunities, such as www.fastweb.com. Good luck!

study the appropriate courses at college.

Before you start, send for your high school transcript. Any college will require that. The first year you will have to take standard Freshman courses, especially English and math. You won't have a choice that year. The second year, you can begin to make some choices. Ask for a counselor and then get to know that person. He/she will help you plan the courses you need to take and when to take them. This will make all the difference in your success or failure. To try to plan your own courses is a big mistake. Learning the study habit again is a major concern, so look for a quiet area you can study in. Kids can stand noise while they study, adults can't. \n\nI applaud your decision to go to school. This is a big step in your life, but without higher education and a degree, you are on a treadmill going nowhere. Stick with it, especially when it seems like you can't open another book, read another page, turn in more homework. Your computer will be an invaluable aid. You'll need a good dictionary, a good encyclopedia, and a tape recorder that has playback. Headphones are also necessary. \n\nGo for it, and the best of luck to you!

Assuming you know the proper layout for an outline, some of the ideas you could address are - grade requirements for entry, location, extracurricular activities available, size of student body, available activities in the college town, reputation of academics at the college, jr. college versus four year college, graduate study available, scholarships available.  Hope this helps!

Chemistry, Organic Chem, Math, English, Biology, Physiology and Anatomy to name a few.  I suggest you meet with your college advisor to plan your course of studies at your institute of your choice.\n\nBest wishes.

Since it will be your freshman year you will probably want to take around 15- 17 credits. The school doesnt limit you to how many you can take its more of an issue of how many can you handle? I would advise you to sit down with your advisor at the college and discuss possible classes you want. Try to do this as soon as possible because classes fill up quickly. \n\nIn your class schedule book, the one with all of the classes and times, circle classes you would be interested in. And remember the requirments are different because every major is different. You will probably have to take an english, math, gym, etc but pick interesting classes.\n\nAlso remember 15-17 credits equals about 4-5 classes. Just because this doesnt seem like alot doesnt mean it going to be a piece of cake.\n\nMy school says a tip to remember when studying.. Every hour you have for class deserves 3 hours of studying on your own. Let me give you some advice- this might seem ridicoulous!! But its the truth. Spend time studying each and every day. Just a little, to review the material you went over the day before or to prepare for an exam. Studying this way means you dont have to cram right before an exam because you will have it fresh in your head.\n\nGood luck and dont schedule too much, because freshman year is alot different then any school you have been to before. Its alot different, so beware. Remember to sit with your advisor because they do know alot and can help you alot. Another tip go to Rateyourprofessor.com or a site like it to see what other kids thought of the teachers you will be having.\n\ngood luck and Have fun!!!

Certainly go into the honor's classes.  While it MAY be a little more work and a little more challenging than the typicall classes, it will only prepare you more thoroughly for college and your future - nothing in life comes without a challenge - so, step up to the plate and see what you can actually do!

A few weeks of studying a couple hours a day should be enough to prepare.  Buy Princeton Review's book on the SAT or if you can afford it (it costs about $1000) take their class ... it's well worth it.  The book is good too though.  I did the class for the SAT and did well and used the book for the GRE and did well on that also.

If you really wnat to become a doctor then Pre-med is the way to go.  It wiil prepare you for the rigors of med school.  If you're really not sure, your 1st year should be loaded with general eduacation hours, so hopefully you'll catch on to an area that you feel is what you want to study.\nIf you're concerned about the costs, apply for FAFSA, and every scholarship that you can.  Also, consider community college for the 1st two years and knock out your gen-ed requirements (CC's are typically less expensive), consider public (state) schools.  Private schools are more expensive.\n\nGood luck!

Often this means classes to prepare you for the college entrance examinations (SAT tests).\n\nAnother meaning: Your high school may have a "college prep" track of courses for students (English all the way through high school, chemistry and physics, math through calculus) which prepares those on that track for college.
