His one piece of advice for peers...
Always remind yourself that you are in competition with yourself and no one else.
Three keys to his academic success
- Being disciplined and having a solid work ethic.
- Paying close attention to detail.
- Taking great notes. Especially when a professor hints at what might be on an exam or which topics are most relevant, I always keep this in mind!
Two study tips
- Working hard is important, but so is working efficiently. Organize what you need to study and plan out an approach for being as thorough as possible.
- Test yourself as if you are writing the exam. Practice problems without the solutions and correct yourself afterwards. This is great for preparation and self-improvement.
Domenic's next big goal
Completing my degree and starting to invest in real estate and travel.
