Course Selection: How to Develop a Four Year Plan

  • What are the best classes to take for college admission?
  • Do we need to take advanced courses?
  • If only three years of math are required, does he need to take math as a senior?
  • How important are electives or endorsements?
  • Ideally, everyone should enter high school with a written 4-year plan for courses. Even if you don’t start with a written plan, it is a good idea to map out your plans for core courses and electives. In this episode of “The College Prep Podcast”, I’ll walk you through how to make a 4 year plan for course selection. Listen in as we cover the following steps, which you can apply to your high school or your college career:
    1. Gather information about the courses at your school.
    2. Start by laying out requirements and prerequisites on a calendar.
    3. Add electives and “one off” classes.
    4. Strive for balance.
    5. Know your options and make sure you have a back up plan if courses aren’t available when you thought they might be.
