Right... i'm a sophomore (10th grade, year 11, whatever you like to call it) at high school, i've just turned 15 and i'll graduate when i'm late on 17.. so let's call it in 3 years time.


me and some people were talking about uni the other day, I want to go to a good uni - but idk, i've just not worried about it much yet, she said I should be worrying like hell about it - even though I have 3 years to go.


should I be worrying yet, or not?
sure, I think about it - but not worry.

what exactly should I be doing?

I started worrying about University when I was about 13, but that's just weird. Honestly, you don't really need to actually start 'worrying' until you need to start applying I don't think. I would start thinking about it, but don't get panicky. It might be different in America..

Agreed, i think its good to think about it 2 years in advance, start getting information, i wouldn't recommend getting worried about it, you will probably apply in your last year at school. Having said that, the sooner you start, the more relaxed you will feel at the end :)

its not worth worrying about it now, though it might be a good idea to have a look around at the courses offered, and thinking about what you want to do, that way you can get loads of info on it, and make sure that you can get the required grades or whatever to get accepted

yeah, I know you have to get extra credits to get into uni, so i'm taking that into mind when I choose my classes - i'm talking a few extra classes and i'm considering summer school - so maybe, just maybe, I could graduate when I am 16 (i'd be youngggg, i'm the young one in my year haha!)

It all really depends on what you want to do, If your sure of what you want to do, you can relax a little more because you dont have the worrying of what your going to be when your older, I started thinking about uni when I turned 14, but thats when I started GCSE etc. So it was my qualifications I was worried about mainly, now that I've set off my applications, I can relax a little (:S still need to study, and do good in exams) because I have to wait for the unis to reply

You should'nt be 'worrying' about it, but you should keep your grades up the best you can for when that time does roll around.
