JONATHAN FARLEY graduated second in his class at Harvard University,
with 29 A's and three A-'s. His advice:
First, choose the right courses: (a) Don't take courses you know nothing about
just because they look interesting, unless Russian roulette is one of your
favorite games. (b) Do not take too many courses each term.
Second, prepare before each course: learn the subject beforehand; find the
reading list for the course and read.
Third, Join study groups.
Fourth, do not bring a television to college. Go to sophisticated movies with
friends if you are going to watch a screen: that way you are always improving
yourself.

KRISTIN GMUNDER is a senior at Villa Walsh Academy in Morristown,
New Jersey. Her advice:
Every high school and college student loves to watch TV; we're not
fooling anyone. However, we all know we don't have time to watch TV
every night of the week as we would like to. As students, we know that
each week the workload is different in weight--some weeks we have very
little work and other weeks we have so much that we are drowning. The
way to combat this issue of our TV addictions is to binge watch. Yes,
many people would look at me weirdly for suggesting that students binge
watch using programs like Netflix or Hulu, but this really is the best way
for us to enjoy TV when those workloads are less and we have more free
time. This way when we're suffering under those textbooks and the papers
we have to write, we're not tempted to type netflix.com into the Google
search bar.
JASON KHOO is part of the President Scholar Program at California State
University Fullerton and on the Dean’s List for the Mihaylo College of Business
and Economics. His advice:
Maintaining good grades is having a good understanding of the construct
of your grade. Most classes are weighted and thus different assignments
and tests have a larger impact on your grade. Know when the most
important assignments, tests, and projects occur, then make sure at that
time you are ready to work. I've seen many people who are excellent
planners and never procrastinate only receive B's and C's. This is
because they don't properly weight their effort. Know when to put in all
your effort and know when to ease back. This will help you stay energized
but also not waste excessive time on academics.
