There are a couple people who are saying second years lie, or that people lie in general about their success/progress. Don't let that be a discouragement to you. DO ask for advice, DO ask questions you have to the ones who are ahead of you. But remember that NYCOM can change things from year to year, so you might not have the same experience as someone else. That does t mean someone lied to you. Additionally, some people are better than others at different subjects. For example, I thought anatomy was pretty straightforward because I enjoyed it and I did well in it; someone else might say its the hardest part of first year. Essentially, easy and hard in med school is all subjective. You reap the rewards of what you put in. I had a great time first year, explored NYC, and was also lucky enough to do really well. My biggest piece of advice to you all is to relax these next couple of weeks and get yourself into the mindset to work hard, play hard. You guys are going to be fine.
