finished freshman year with a 3.35, any study tips?
I go to Rice and finished my fall semester with a 3.4, and then just finished up spring with a 3.35 because I got a C in Calc 2 and a C+ in Gen Chem 2 unfortunately. I've had a lot of stuff going on, including getting started on ADHD meds and going no-contact with my dad which made school really hard. I got all A's besides those two classes this semester, but they dragged down my GPA really bad and I'm nervous. I'm taking Orgo 1 and Physics 1 in the Fall, and I want to pre-study them and work on study techniques this summer. I'm starting research this summer as well, so I'll start racking up those hours. Any advice on how to go forward? I know this isn't the end of the world and plenty of pre-meds get C's and even D's, but it still really sucks you know? Anyone have any good study techniques for the future that I can employ, as I learn to study in a new way + with ADHD? I know that I can get a 3.7 by the time I apply, maybe even a 3.8 if I work really hard. I want to go to a T50 med school, and I know a lot of factors play into that other than GPA, but I just want some advice for this specific part of my application so I can get it in a good spot :) Any advice helps, I just want to focus on how to improve so I can be less stressed and feel like I'm in a better spot when fall comes around!! :D
