Open your calendar and count: you have roughly 60 days until fall recruitment kicks into high gear in September.

If you do nothing for those 60 days, they become a blank space of waiting. But if you use the first 30 for systematic preparation and the next 30 for real-world practice — when September arrives, the gap between you and the peers who “waited until September to start” won’t be about whether you prepared. It’ll be about the level of preparation.
