Attending a two-year community college or four-year university after graduating from high school is an option many high school students dream to achieve. It takes a lot of preparation, research, and hard work to make it happen.
It is highly recommended that any student wanting to attend a college or university after they graduate from high school meet with Allison early in their high school career. Early planning and understanding the entrance requirements for community colleges, in-state and out-of-state universities, and private vs. public California university systems are key.
