Friends Network

Building a strong friends network during the first month of university is imperative. Associating with the right people, while minimizing contact with others can have a huge impact on your chances of getting into med school. Find friends that are studious, smart, out going, friendly and most importantly, MOTIVATED. It will surprise you how much you will accomplish just by associating with the right people. Sure, be friends with people in rez, but make sure not to hang out with them all the time. Rez is the worst place for academic success and will greatly detriment your changes of success later on. From my experience, every friend I had in rez would constitute as an alcoholic, chronic marijuana smoker and typical university failure, receiving C+ at best. One heavy night of drinking wastes about 3 days.. but more on that later
