Answer
Hi Ashley,

My area of expertise is directed toward college athletics, but I will encourage you, as a current junior in high school to launch your college quest now.

A strong resource for you to consider is The Collegebound Network at: http://www.collegebound.net/ You can narrow your choices by state and anticipated major. The site is easy to navigate and will be a great start.



Good luck!
