Why Yale? “I knew I wanted to go somewhere that emphasized academics since that was my focus in high school but I also wanted to be able to play competitive tennis at the Division I level. I felt that Yale was a perfect fit because it balances academics and athletics so well. I also felt that the tennis team was a really good fit when I went there for my official visit. All the girls were very welcoming and they really wanted me to get a sense of what Yale was all about!”
