When you fi nally commit to a school, take the time to network and meet as many students as possible online. There will always be one person out there who knows something before you do, has an inside scoop or can advise you based on a fi rst-hand account. You don’t have to be an audible voice – just stay updated so that you don’t miss any important announcements. 2) Start thinking about classes now: Although it might seem too early to think about your fall schedule, it never is.
