Biography

Rowing Program: New Trier, Chicago Rowing Foundation

Why Yale: “I chose Yale because I was inspired by the motivation and welcoming, enthusiastic culture of the people I met on my visit. Yale’s academic and athletic opportunities are exceptional, but at the end of the day, my choice was made easily because I felt like I was at home from the minute I stepped on campus.  Yale students and faculty love being at Yale, and they want you to love being at Yale, too!  I know that rowing at Yale, surrounded by such driven athletes and students, would inspire me to push myself to be a faster athlete and work harder academically.”

Porter’s Quote: “Carolyne will not be out worked. She is ready for the challenge of YWC. Her personality and willingness to train are exciting.”
