    13. What about PRE-LAW? Choose the major you like best—law schools don’t stipulate. You WILL need a great gpa and LSAT scores… At Ohio University: Economics, English, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Sociology, or Geography (for environmental law) majors are good preparation for law school

    14. “The first misunderstanding is to confuse education with training. Education should prepare you to BE someone rather than to DO something.” Father James Burtchaell, Notre Dame University

    15. To best prepare for the 21st century Our advice is-- when you are ready, choose a major YOU love!* *( do not equate “major” with “job”) Your acquired knowledge and TRANSFERRABLE skills will be valued in an ever changing and more complex world of work in the future…

    19. HOW TO ACE COLLEGE

    20. Dr. Richard Light, Harvard Prof, writes in his book, Making the Most of College You should: get to know at least 1-2 faculty each term (for advice, support, and providing references ) Manage time in blocks —”plan” your hours for study Get involved in variety of extracurricular activities Take a mix of courses-- and don’t devote first years solely to requirements.* (* Light also says “parents are well meaning but give ‘lousy’ advice” on point 4,--they’re “especially bad at picking courses!” ? )

    21. ** “Make it happen: If it’s not on your calendar, it’ll never happen.” Phil Keoghan It’s ALL about time management!! Reserve or block 2 hours of study for every credit hour. 16 credits X 2 = 30+ hrs (!!) of scheduled study time every week Utilize your ‘blocked‘ daytime hours for study– go to the library regularly or to a quiet study area, not to your room!! ** Things which matter most should never be at the mercy of things which matter least.” Goethe “

    22. To know what’s going on at OU and in A&S, you must: Check your OU OAK email account daily READ A&S “E-News” Ask questions—until you Get answers! KEEP all your pre-college handouts for future reference!!!
