I have found a few great articles today that I think you should check out.
The first is from a local news station in the US and talks about the admission tests that many of you will take. This article is especially useful for the table at the bottom where it gives some admission formulas that are used by different schools. You are always asking me how colleges make their decisions, well this gives you some insight.
The second is an article about what sophomores and juniors can do to prepare for college when they are still a couple of years out. I know that it is very brief, but it makes the point again that organization is everything.
The third one is an article about a site that does interest assessment and career guidance, it is called Rastopia. I know that many of you have chosen majors that you are pretty sure you want, but this can help give you clarity. It may also point out some things about yourself that you may have suspected or not known, and couldn't articulate.
Late edit.
One more I just had to add. This article gives you some good warnings about what you put online. Don't leave anything on Facebook or MySpace and assume that nobody will ever find it. A good technique is to go deep on Google. Enter your name and search ten pages. Then enter your name and Bahrain, again look at search results for ten pages. Lastly enter your name and the school's name (MKS) and search. If you find nothing bad then chances are neither will admission officers. If you do, start deleting now and hope that you don't get cached.
Check them out. If you have any of your own, put them in the comments.
