There’s no denying it. Junior year is the most critical time for college planning. It’s when high schoolers start to focus on their future and make decisions that really count. Students are just 10 months away from applying to college, and it’s clear that the 11th grade is crunch time.
The good news — Class 101’s Super Junior program is back. Last year we were able to help more than 230 juniors nationwide get ahead of the curve before application season even began and this year, we are excited to do the same with the Class of 2023.
Here’s everything you need to know about becoming a Super Junior, and why it’s one of the best ways to bring your student up-to-speed.
WHAT IS A SUPER JUNIOR?
A Super Junior is an 11th-grader who wants to get a head start on college planning. By completing the fast-track Super Junior program, students start the planning process when it matters the most: during the application pre-season. That way, when application season rolls around on Aug. 1 of their senior year, they are well ahead of their peers.
WHY IS THIS PROGRAM NEEDED?
Junior year is the most crucial time for students to take ownership of their grades, sharpen important skills, and begin the college admissions process. All of this is time consuming and overwhelming — from prepping for standardized tests to finalizing resumes.
The Super Junior program alleviates the stress of college planning by helping students achieve their goals before senior year.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
All Super Juniors will complete a Super Junior Checklist specifically designed to help them put their best foot forward. Here’s a look at the seven things they will accomplish in 90 days:
- Create a top 10 list of colleges and universities
- Complete three college visits (either virtual or in-person)
- Take DISC assessment & review report
- Establish baseline ACT/SAT score
- Document top 10 trends from baseline score
- Create a resume with all activities listed
- Have a parent meeting to review all items on your checklist
WHAT’S IN IT FOR THEM?
Not only will they get ahead for application season, but all students who complete the program will earn an official Super Junior certificate.
