Continue working hard at school on improving your rank and GPA. This is the last chance you have to do so before college application at the beginning of your senior year! What’s more, start taking SAT and/or ACT whenever you are ready, now that PSAT is over.
Juniors, I can't tell you enough how important this is! I have had so many seniors, now and in the years past, telling me "could have/should have worked a little harder" to have a better chance to get into a college of their choices. I just don't want any of you to have any of those same regrets.

By now you probably have heard people talking 11th grade is your most important year for earning high grades in challenging courses. If you had a few marginal grades in 9th or 10th grade, improvement in 11th grade shows a college that you've learned how to be a good student. Many of your senior year grades come too late to play a big role on your application, so junior year is essential. A drop in your grades in 11th grade shows a move in the wrong direction, and it will raise red flags for the college admissions folks.
