Just because your college apps are inked and ready to ship doesn’t mean it’s time to coast. Slacking at the end of high school can sabotage all the hard work you’ve put into the previous three and a half years. Keep these tips in mind as you work on your big-man-on-campus strut:

Maintain a challenging schedule. Keep grinding with courses that test your classroom skills. // Keep up the good grades. When deciding whether to offer admission, colleges check your first semester grades. If you get wait-listed, schools will review your second semester grades. // Remember the rules. Even if you’re celebrating early acceptance to your number one school, your senior grades still count towards NCAA and NAIA eligibility.
