Why MIT:

"MIT checked all of my boxes. In high school, I felt like I was learning but not really being challenged as much as I could be, so I wanted to go somewhere that would give me harder challenges and learning curves. What better place for that than MIT? After visiting Boston several times, I fell in love with the city and the people I met there. On top of that, it was a school where I could and would want to play volleyball. It is a competitive team with some of the nicest and most caring girls who I can't wait to call teammates. Both Boston and MIT have every opportunity I could think of that I could ever want, and it would set me up for a great and successful future where I could love what I do and support myself."
