To many parents and teens the idea of considering – during the summer before 9^th grade – where the student may apply to college in 12^th grade seems way over the top. Why put on the pressure so early?

Ironically, applying to college in 12^th grade may be easier because of some pre-planning before the start of 9^th grade.
