How to Get the Most Out of Grad School
As grad school programs and undergrad programs are starting up it is important to get the most out of the time you are there. School seems like it goes slow however by the time you graduate and have been working a few years it seems like long ago.
1) Network with a wide range of students.
2) Do informational interviews with alumni and industry practitioners to learn what specialty you want to work in after graduation.
3) Lean In! It is very challenging to balance the social aspects of grad school with the educational aspects. Focus more on learning and networking instead of optimizing your grades. Realize you will be graduating soon and will not have the same amount of time to really focus on your education.
