The only guide to getting ahead once you've gotten in-proven strategies for making the most of your college years, based on winning secrets from students just like you
College. You-ve been hearing about it and planning for years, and now at last it's finally here. You've taken the SATs, written the perfect admissions essay, and packed your bags. Now what?
How to Win at College is a must-have road map for making the most of the next four years: how to ace your classes, choose the best activities, assume leadership positions, befriend the right professors, and channel your interests into resume-building projects that will make you stand out from the crowd. Based on firsthand interviews with star students at universities nationwide, from Harvard to the University of Arizona, How to Win at College distills the nitty-gritty details of their winning strategies into seventy-five simple rules that will rocket you to the top of the class and still leave plenty of time for friends and fun. These college-tested-and often surprising-strategies include:
- Don't do all your reading
- Drop classes every term
- Become a club president
- Ignore your GPA
- Never pull an all-nighter
- Tack on an extra major or minor
- Spend a Semester Abroad
- Maximize your summers
- Always be working on a "grand project"
- Do one thing better than anyone else you know
Proving that success has little to do with being a genius workaholic, and everything to do with playing the game, How to Win at College is the must-have guide for making the most of these four important years and getting an edge on life after graduation.
