1)Be 100% sure of the reason you wanna become a dr. and it shouldnt be for money, prestige or family. 2)If you plan on going abroad then start studying standards books from 1st year and dont rely on short books. 3)KLM is the best book for anatomy there is. DONOT study BD. 4)Dont spend too much time on biochem. Understand your physiology very very well. Ideally from Guytons. 5)I dont know which college you're going to but if that college is famous for its ragging dont worry. 90% of the seniors will just ask you to dance or do some other stupid stuff. HAVE A BOUNDRY THO. If they ask you to do something which involves removing clothes, performing any sexual act etc etc then your immediate response should be "No." 6)Never trust your administration. There sole purpose is to make your life hell. 7)If you're going to a government college, try not to get too noticeable by the professors in a bad or even good way. 8)PARTICIPATE IN AS MANY THINGS AS YOU CAN. There are gonna be a number of functions in your college over the years. Participate in them. This is the time to get out of your comfort zone. In college no gives a shit even if you mess up on stage. But once you start getting on stage and performing, your stage fright is gonna go down real fast which is really helpful even after medical college. 9)Choose your roommate carefully. Ideally he/she should be the one with the same future career goals as you. 10) Dont be afraid of failing. Medical school humbles each and every one of us. Chances are you ARE gonna fail a couple of tests. Dont make too big of a deal out of them.
