Tips to Succeed at Harvard

Success at Harvard requires the same ingredients as success at any other task. Motivation, hard work, and organization will have a larger impact on success than brainpower. I've seen plenty of brilliant students not succeed as they expected to because they became lazy or complacent with a class or two. Additionally, here is a list of things to think about before you start:

Pick classes you actually like.

Actually go to class.

Get advice from upperclassmen.

Check your final exam dates before you register for classes.

Join study groups, if at all possible.
