    Clark Atlanta University! Excellent decision. By preparing yourself early, you have made a very wise move. I would first suggest you log on to the university's website or contact their admissions office to find out what their undergraduate requirements are. If you haven't already taken the SAT or ACT test, you should get on it right away. The majority of colleges and universities require an SAT or ACT score for undergraduate students enrolling for the first time.

    Additionally, you need to make sure that you have taken care of your basic high school requirements like math, science, english, social science, and any required electives. Make sure that the grades you get this year and senior year are the very best. If  you haven't joined any clubs or participated in any extracurricular activities, join up. Colleges like to see that prospective students will be an asset academically as well as with extra curricular programs.

    Have you started working on your admissions essay? This is also very important as it is your only opportunity to let board of admissions get to know you as an individual. Ask your English teacher for help editing and revising the essay.
