How I Ranked 3rd at Caltech - Study Strategies I Swear By

[@5u5annah]

Main Advice Work alone 110% into everything; office hrs and explain all steps and write Start early like more than 2-3 days before Thinking about the problem Understand at a lower level bc concepts build up on top of each other Put in a consistent effort Find what u r passionate about; certain topics may be unmanageable Identify what u want to do in life

3rd in school like Caltech?? That’s insane

[@jheeldhruv6191]

Do you type or handwrite ur notes?

[@dotMDlive]

I actually didn't really take notes during undergrad! In certain biology classes/MCAT studying I typed notes, and for a few physics classes I liked handwriting since there were a bunch of equations and diagrams. In general though I felt like reading over the provided lectures notes and focusing on doing the problem sets well were more than enough for me. Same goes for med school (will discuss in-depth in a future video), I don't really take notes that often. Usually just spaced repetition and looking over the material a couple of times is enough for me to pass the classes (med school is P/F).

I believe the top 40 have 4.0 GPA

[@theneelay]

5:30 and that is why I’m not an engineering student... gives me nightmares

[@MrBjorn6]

But I believe Caltech 4.30 is perfect grade
