Advanced Placement courses are labeled as AP courses.
 AP courses are college-level courses taught in high school
 AP courses have college level reading and writing
assignments and have the most rigorous test and homework
assignments.
 If a student takes 4 AP courses in high school, then they have
completed the most rigorous schedule at Manual.
 At the conclusion of an AP course, you may elect to take the
AP exam for that course and possibly earn college credit if
the college you will be attending will accept AP scores.
 AP classes are weighted – it is a good way to raise your GPA
if you are successful in the course.

Identify what you like to do – How do you want to spend the rest of your
life?
Will you be happy with the financial resources available to you as a result
of that career choice?
Gather as much information as you can from informal visits to colleges
and attending college fairs.
Search college websites for minimum GPA and test score requirements –
look at the school profile – do you match?
Refine what you possible college major may be and explore colleges
strong in that area.
What careers are available to people with a degree in your chosen field?
Identify at least 10 Colleges/Universities you are interested in and spend
this summer researching everything you can about those colleges.
