To-do" list for Juniors... From Vikki Harrison

I hope this list will  help Colleges know your out there looking for an education through softball.

Do this for youselves.....

  1. Make a list of Twenty Schools you would actually go to.  Not a wish list.
  2. Write letters to all these schools introducing yourself, including your bio and cd.
  3. Send another  25 letters to schools that are on your "I might go there" list. 
  4. Review you career plans and decide which type of school is right for you.
  5. What grades do they require? What you need to do to get them there?
  6. How much money does it cost to go to the school, books & dorms, food?
  7. Have you taken your PSAT / SAT / ACT  tests and what do these schools require?
  8. Have you talked to your High School counselor for registrations materials and test dates for the Sat if you haven't taken it yet.   Full information about SAT testing can be found at www.Collegeboard.com.
  9. Do you have a Social Security Card yet?
  10. Have you join the NCAA clearing house yet? Junior Year
  11. Obtain dates and locations of schools offering College Fairs & Camps?

    After your Junior Year :

  12. Start scheduling visits to 3-5 schools you really want to see by the end of your Junior  year.
  13. Find out when the registration period is for each school.
  14. Keep playing Summer Fastpitch Softball for exposure.
  15. Email the Coaches to let them know your Team Schedule.
  16. Make sure your Manager / Coach knows to which Schools you have written.
  17. Take the AP exams while information is fresh in your mind.
  18. What  position you would be willing to play if they don't need a player for primary position?
  19. If your parents qualify for grant and aid, where do you get federal funding.
  20. Every player wants to go to Division I,  let them know your out there, but think about Division II & III also.  There is also NAIA, which has great Christian Colleges.
     

    Keep up the hard work - Eventually something will click.
