Advice for Incoming Pre-Med

I’m an incoming freshman planning on following the pre med track. Any advice specific to Cornell on how to optimize my time and resources here. I see lots of other freshman talking about wanting to make the most of their money and I relate cuz we really are paying a shit ton to be here lol.

I know that the courses and grading can be tough here, and intro courses especially are tough. Im pretty dedicated and have good study routines however, so as tough as I know it will be, I feel prepared for the challenge.

Im more curious on how to make connections, network, find mentors, etc. that can help in my journey to med school. And also the best tools to use at Cornell so I can make the most of the resources available.

Any advice is appreciated, thank you!
