Why I Chose MIT:

“I have always been interested in MIT because of the stellar academics and opportunities available here, but I ultimately chose it because of the culture of the team and of the school overall. When I came to visit and again for CPW, it simply felt right. It didn't feel elitist or overly competitive like other highly academic schools. Every student I met was so passionate about their areas of study and genuinely curious about everyone else's. By the end of my visits, I was excited to learn and invigorated by the students all around me. This overall culture paired with the opportunity to be a part of such an incredible volleyball program made MIT a no brainer. Roll Tech!!”
