Why Yale? Did I choose Yale, or did Yale choose me? I''ve wanted to be a Yalie for so long that sometimes it''s hard to remember. I can still clearly remember being a young six-year-old telling everyone I would attend Yale one day, the usual reply to which was laughter. So it is truly a dream come true, and I couldn’t be more excited.”
