Do This Before Classes Start! | College Course Planning

Planning is important not because you follow a plan verbatim, but because in the process of planning you realize there are xyz conflicts that you need to resolve in your course planning. It forces you to factor in other considerations, like applying to graduate school, graduating early, studying abroad, etc. Don't avoid it like I did my freshman year lol, planning will definitely reduce the friction of course selection! Hope this helped.

Good luck with your first week of classes!

BUSINESS INQUIRIES:

[Bienchien]

I think planning is really important but you should still stay flexible and expect the unexpected (e.g a failed exam)...I tend to always plan everything in uni and sometimes I find it really restricting

[MayGao]

Leave a comment with what date you start(ed) classes :O

[claireliu]

thank you, this was so helpful esp. your color-coded docs! i’m so glad i watched this before leaving for brown move-in (:

[cat-kjqw]

i just procrastinated packing my stuff for move in to create a schedule LMAOOO (no regrets tho i feel a lot better about the rest of my undergrad career)

[DrAdnan]

I sooo wish I had made a detailed four year plan during my freshman year. I had a very loose idea and mostly did everything haphazardly.

[shielamariejara]

Love your videos esp college vlog!!! Pls more soon!!!

[russellparedes]

Good Evening May! Your pre-med videos are so well-done! I love them overall! Can you tell me more about the no gap for medical school? If you take no gap do you apply for medical school in the spring semester of junior year?

[shielamariejara]

All of the things she said ARE SO FUCKING TRUE!! I found out about this on thw end of freshmen year, i was so mad bc i couldnt find so much classes and had to wait for another semester for that specific class. Also GET SOME HELP AND MAKE SURE!

[Rob.N.]

I was on the hosuing wait list and already set a plan to live at home until I was assigned a dorm. I got that today and now I'm rushing to pack. I move in tomorrow😅

[quon]

How do you start creating a 4 year plan

[shielamariejara]

Am in technical school rn and always dream of going to bigger school. Amm still thinking about that bc the expenses is also add up to it.

[scrapbookdreamer]

[ethan-tzow]
