Starting Accelerated Program in Jan--Tips?

I'm just finishing my first semester of an accelerated program and the main thing that has really helped me through this semester is doing the reading. A lot of the people in my class have gotten so bogged down with everything that they've quit reading. I'm still reading, and this has been the key to making all A's for me. You might be thinking, "I always read for my classes!" Once you get started in your program, you'll see how hard it is to keep up with all the reading because there is always a million things to do. Also, getting a tape recorder has made things a lot easier for me. I tape the lectures, then go home and write out my notes. It's especially helpful for pharm and patho. Good luck to you in your program!!!
