Why Yale: “I chose Yale University not only because of its renowned academic status, but because of the community that the students at Yale have created for one another. Yale is a university where students have the opportunity to freely express themselves and because of that, build upon the ideas of the past that have helped the entire world progress. I wanted to be a part of change, and I know that being a part of both this student body and this swim team, we can do just that.”
