How to Keep a 4.0 GPA in College - Student and Professor Agree that Drive is Key

How do the top college students do it? I'm joined by my articulate and hilarious pre-dental student, Elle Nisbit to hear her secrets. The key isn't a single cognitive study hack; it's effort, motivation, and finding strategies that work through trial and error. We cover other keys like finding partners to study with alongside some funny stories from class. Elle also lays out how she came to love studying Biology and Dentistry, key points for any students in the same spot. Enjoy!
