As an MS4, these are surprising very useful tips and wished I had come across them back when I was a first year.

" I would treat school and studying like a job, get to class in the morning, take a break for lunch, and then study in the afternoon."

Wait a minute, is he saying that M1s and M2s only have class in the morning? In my vet med program, a first year's day starts with three hours of lab, then lunch, then four or five hours of lecture. Studying is something you do after taking a break for *dinner.* Is this not the case in human-medicine-land? (If not, I'll put it down as one more sign that I'm in the wrong program😉) Are MD programs just that much heavier on the PBL? Good advice in general, but that line threw me a little.

My medical school rarely had more than 2 hours of lecture per day.
