What advice would you give to a first- or second-year prehealth student athlete? Take advantage of the resources available to you at Princeton and be confident in yourself and your abilities as you embark upon the pre-med track! Although asking for/receiving help may push you out of your comfort zone, there are many resources you can lean on for support as you work to balance both your academic and athletic endeavors. You are surrounded by professors, McGraw tutors, TAs, HPA advisors, classmates, and teammates who wish to see you succeed and are willing to provide guidance as you navigate the pre-med track. Although certain STEM classes may feel intimidating at times, working through problem sets at McGraw, participating in group study sessions with your peers before tests, or seeking extra help understanding specific material from your professors/TAs can facilitate your learning and set you up for success!
