Junior Year Starts Now: What Sophomores Should Do Next

03/31/2026

4pm PT

If your student is finishing sophomore year and college already feels stressful, you’re not alone. Many families worry they’re behind or have missed something important. The good news is that this spring is actually the right time to pause, take stock, and plan intentionally for junior year.

In this webinar, our college admissions experts walk families through what truly matters during the transition from sophomore to junior year - and what doesn’t. You’ll learn how colleges expect students to move from exploration to focus, how to think about testing timelines without adding pressure, and how coursework, activities, and summer plans can begin to align naturally. We’ll clarify what colleges are really looking for at this stage and help you separate helpful guidance from noise.
