Planning for UF

11th Grade:

  • The eleventh grade is often the most challenging academically. Take honors, AP, IB or AICE classes if they are offered.
  • If you did not take the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test at conclusion of the 10th grade, take the PSAT early in the junior year. The PSAT is a great way to begin preparing for the SAT, and if your scores are high enough you may be eligible for National Merit and National Achievement scholarships.
  • Attend a college fair to gather information and talk with representatives from several schools. Ask you guidance counselor for a schedule of college fairs in your area.
  • Begin your college research. Where would you like to go? What would you like to study? Consider admission requirements, tuition, facilities, degree programs and the student body profile. Visit each college's Web site.
  • Register for the SAT and ACT in the late spring of the junior year. Consider taking both tests before your senior year begins. The SAT and ACT are very different types of assessments. Study the the tests' Web sites to help you determine which test might be better for you and to help you make important decisions about your college search.
  • Continue your extracurricular activities and assume additional responsibilities and leadership roles. Explore opportunities in your community; part-time employment and volunteer activities can influence your college admission.

Summer After 11th Grade:

  • Visit several college campuses to learn as much as you can about each college. UF conducts daily information sessions at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm, Monday-Friday.
