## Transcript

[ BLANK_AUDIO ] Bone up on your foundations and don't be afraid to. If you're a little bit foggy on your algebra, your trigonometry, your calculus, go to Khan Academy, spend your time, get the feedback, do the exercise. We got a lot of letters from students the summer before college or the summer before their senior year, they go on the Khan Academy. They spend Thirty minutes a day, an hour a day, they brush up on their mathematics. They brush up on their science. They brush up on other things. And then it really gives them a leg up when they show up at the university. Because if they show up truly ready then it's gonna be a really fun experience for them.

The other advice I've given is you know College is a chance to define yourself and start again, so keep stepping out of your comfort zone. Go out there, meet people. College is as much about the academics and learning skills as it is about building connections and forming bonds. These are gonna be friends that you're gonna know the rest of your life. [ MUSIC ]
