My path to this point in life has not been one that you could guess from a seemingly ordinary (maybe below ordinary height, depends who you ask) from a very affluent, diverse, and academic community like Princeton, New Jersey. I have toed a thin line between Shakespearean tragedy and raunchy, Will Ferrell comedy- closest to “Talladega Nights” if you ask me. My story begins in Princeton, New Jersey. A town of 28,000 and home to one of the most prestigious universities...

I wrote about how Penn's unique offerings drew me to it specifically. For example, the fact that it's in a city and the opportunities that may come with that. Also, the collaboration with the wold class graduate schools that literally border the campus is an opportunity very few schools have to offer. Penn is also unique in that it is a school with a very strong reputation, but is also a relatively large school with 10,000 undergraduate students.
