Congrats on making the decision to start a program!! I agree with what others are saying, read and study, you will have to be in a very committed relationship with your books while in the program...lol Stay away from the drama, because there will be plenty of it and stay away from those that are negative. I finish my program on wednesday the 9th and just found out I am class valedictorian out of 40 people in our class and through it all I sayed motivated and focused and studied and read the chapters before class , doing outlines of the chapter also helped me focus on the most important parts of the reading and then lecture just helped reinforce it. Good luck! if there's anything I can do to help just let me know:)
