20 Things I Learned as a College Student/ Pre-Med

1. People will tell you that you cannot become a doctor.


2. Some people want you to fail.


3. G.P.A. is REALLY important to med schools


4. MCATS are just as important.


5. Alot of people major in Biology and Chemistry.


6. ORGO is apparently not as hard as it seems, it's actually kind of fun, but I'm crazy remember?


7. Start researching which med schools to apply soon. If you just finished freshman year, then like now.


8. Join what YOU LIKE vs. what YOU THINK MED SCHOOLS WILL LIKE.


9. There are other great medical schools out there other than Yale or Harvard. But if they take you in, then great!


10. As corny as it sounds, be yourself.


11. Bring quarters, you'll need them for laundry!


12. Maybe your pre-med advisor is the best thing thats happen to you maybe they are a nightmare, but find someone to advise you through the upcoming years.


13. You DO NOT look stupid if you ask for help, in fact, some teachers like it.


14. You can never e-mail a professor too much. (At least, I hope not.)


15. When it comes to friends look for quality instead of quality.


16. Would you rather have the friend who offers to play beer pong the night before a bio exam instead of the friend in bio who will help you study?


17. NEVER, and I repeat NEVER study in your room, too many distractions. Find a private place in the library to study, you wont realiz how much you'll actually get done.


18. Tests count A LOT more than homework in college.


19. Just because you are a pre-med student does not mean you cannot make a fashion statement!


20. Pray for a good roommate. (I was blessed!)
