Maximizing opportunities
GPA
If you're considering in-state private schools, the Zell and Hope scholarships matter, though less so. A strong GPA can also help you get other school scholarships.
Even if you're looking at out-of-state colleges, maintaining a high GPA can boost your chances for academic scholarships.
Don't forget to prepare for the SAT/ACT tests early and retake them if needed. Better scores can improve your chances of admission and athletic eligibility.
Crafting Your Target List: Navigating the College Selection Process
Building a well-defined list of 5-10 schools that align with your goals and aspirations is a vital step in the college selection process. It is essential to acknowledge that your college plans and dreams may differ from those of your parents. Honest communication between you and your parents is paramount to ensure everyone is on the same page, allowing you to concentrate on realistic objectives. Dedicate time to researching potential institutions and maintain a notebook to track your progress and make informed comparisons.

Recruiting typically begins after a student’s sophomore year but schools must operate within the rules of the governing
body that their programs participate in. NCAA D1, D2, and D3 along with NAIA and NJCAA all have different rules when it
comes to recruiting, player contact periods and college visitations. Try to become familiar with the recruiting rules for
the schools on your target list as this will help you keep up with important timelines.
