Why Yale: "Growing up in Serbia, prestigious schools such as Yale University seemed out of my reach and because of that I glorified everything about them. But when an opportunity presented itself I was afraid I would choose the school just because the name and my unrealistic presumptions. That made me skeptical and I was questioning everything. All of that changed and my skepticism vanished on my official visit when I met the people standing behind Yale’s stellar reputation. I saw talented and motivated students chasing excellence with guidance of the best professors, mentors and coaches. Most importantly they all enjoyed it and were having fun along the way."

Porter Quote: “Masa brings a maturity and focus that will allow her to thrive at Yale. I cannot wait for her to join our pack.”
