Starting your preparation in college gives you a huge strategic advantage. Your primary focus right now should be building strong daily reading habits (long-form essays from Aeon, The Guardian, and Arts & Letters Daily) and mastering foundational high school math without rushing. Most importantly, maintain a high college GPA—graduation percentage carries permanent, non-negotiable weight in composite score calculations across top IIMs.
