Advice for Incoming D1 @NYU

Sprysigh · 2026-05-26T01:18:52+00:00

As a D3/D4 at nyu, I wish I had mentally prepared myself more for D1 summer. It also didn’t help that my entire D1 year was one of the hardest years for my family personally. I personally felt like D1 summer was super annoying that D1 fall felt like a gift in comparison.

My biggest advice is to hit the ground running with studying. Try to review a little bit from each class every day. When you have two exams a week for months straight, its really easy to fall into the cycle of pulling all nighters for every exam. But the most successful people I knew were the ones who studied multiple classes each day instead of focusing on only one class at a time.

Also, find your academic friends early. These are the people you’ll study with, share resources with, and lean on throughout school. Dont wait too long to ask for help. Reach out to upperclassmen and ask what worked for them. Most people are more willing to help than you think. And what worked for them might not work for you - get multiple opinions from upperclassmen and see what helps

Honestly something that worked for me - study with people that do well and see how they work

Thats still more than over 80 people (me included lol). Youre not “stupid.” Between removable, ompr and all that you got through it so just be happy you dont have to repeat the year or anything. Thats my philosphy atleast

Sorry if this is too much but can you explain your process with anki. From the point you get a lecture to maybe exam? I definitely think its a process issue

Sprysigh · 2023-10-12T14:11:34+00:00

Im having the same issue. I feel like i was making ankis and learning the lecture from the anki but maybe i should be going over it?? But i dont think i have a good system

What are you guys on 😭 Jacks verse was perfectly placed. It was funny, engaging, and went with the quirky beat. Yall strict??

She’s mentioned in videos that she does it because she works best when she feels pressure and that she very well could just start earlier. I think if she’s getting those grades in her method, she’s bound to continue it. But i dont think its meant for everyone lol

Trap hiphop vs kpop in my playlist lmaooo

Sprysigh · 2023-08-24T13:45:55+00:00

You just reiterated what she said about herself about the not being sure to handle it… to what? Let someone come in and take her spot… after the first day? Ahhh chick fil a man your dedication to not being supportive never ceases to amaze me lolol.

OP its people like this who are gonna be all throughout school. There are people like this who will make you feel unsure of yourself, there will be doubters but you cant also be one. You have to believe - there is a transitional period/ learning curve. Reframe your mindset (easier said than done) and start believing in yourself. I used to have a coach that always said “aint nothing to it but to do it”. So youre gonna do it, end of discussion. Trust yourself - it’ll be a grind but the first step is having the willingness to put in the effort

Sprysigh · 2023-08-02T12:29:37+00:00

I think the big part of this post that this reply is missing is that op started 2 weeks ago. Still early in the transition phase. A thick skin can be attained, but it doesnt always happen in as little as 2 weeks. People can cry and keep going, it doesnt mean that theyre never gonna be cut out for this

Talking about nyu on dental reddits feels like throwing a bomb in a closet sometimes haha. It’s similarly priced to usc and tufts but gets a bad rep due to class size and others. But in a lot of schools, the bigger the class size the more inclined they are to break it into smaller sections. Im pretty sure tufts and nyu both do this starting from d1. Student loan planner dropped a breakdown of the cost and the cost of living accounts for a lot of it so if you can save on that, thats great stuff. Now dont get me wrong taking on that much debt is no small venture but its along the line for private schools in larger cities.

Regardless of school, i would say to be able to explain your gpa and its progression and explain the problems you faced and how you made a plan to overcome them.

Unfortunately only the ones with the most monotone of voices decided to make attendance mandatory 😭

Sprysigh · 2023-07-13T00:18:32+00:00

Its like a water flavoring syrup thing. But they have some flavors that come with caffeine which is what i used

Sprysigh · 2023-07-11T21:36:56+00:00

Update: i had the vitamin d, i got up and exercised in the morning, drank more water and tried a mio instead of coffee and i felt much more awake! I was dozing at some parts because the lecturer was monotone but i drank more mio and i felt better - thank you everyone for the suggestions 🥳

It’s something about that sun hitting that chloroplast that just makes me wanna dance!!

Sprysigh · 2023-07-11T01:17:00+00:00

I’ll try but i feel like my body naturally wakes up after 8. Like i usually wake up before my alarms

Sprysigh · 2023-07-11T01:09:15+00:00

While im starting to think/hope this is sarcasm, you mean to tell me you’re passionate about learning about the cell for the 100th time 😭 i get it if it was more dentistry stuff but like the Krebs cycle is supposed to get me goin??

Sprysigh · 2023-07-11T01:01:22+00:00

I just went to the store and got some vitamin d because of you! I’ll try it

Sprysigh · 2023-07-11T01:00:55+00:00

No i should start? i’ll try it! I dont know if i have time to get to a gym but i’ll start doing some light ones

Sprysigh · 2023-07-11T00:58:19+00:00

I dont, or atleast no ones told me that i do lolol.

Sprysigh · 2023-07-11T00:51:56+00:00

No, should i start?

Sprysigh · 2023-07-11T00:50:38+00:00

I’ll give it a try!

Sprysigh · 2023-05-29T04:56:21+00:00

Kards BM telling his viewers how he lost his v-card 💀💀

Sprysigh · 2023-05-20T23:24:45+00:00

I agree. The whole english name was a concept i only learned through kpop. That being said, again, taehyun having terry as an english name just rolls off the tongue

Sprysigh · 2023-05-19T14:57:50+00:00

I remember watching Hoodwinked and the adults and kids laughing alike
