Why you chose the University: “I applied to 16 schools because I had no idea about where I wanted to go. Initially, I thought I wanted a large school. I didn’t even visit Bucknell until November of my senior year. Though it was a rainy, cold day, I felt at home the moment I stepped onto the campus. My favorite thing that I learned from my research on Bucknell was its emphasis on creating a community among its students and alumni. In the end, I ultimately chose Bucknell because I wanted to be a part of Bucknell’s welcoming community.”

Major: Global Management , minor in Legal Studies
Student leadership position: Executive Intern within the Provost’s Office
Campus activities: Varsity Women’s Lacrosse, Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), Pre-Law Society, Mock Trial Vice President, Intern for District Attorney’s Office
Why you chose the University: “When I was looking at colleges, I looked at places that had similar characteristics to my high school. I went to a private, co-ed school in Maryland from kindergarten to 12th grade, so I was looking for somewhere to be my home as opposed to somewhere where I would be a number. Between a small, tight-knit community, interactive classroom settings, small class sizes, personal faculty relationships, committed staff and administration, an engaged athletic community, and so on, Bucknell really struck home for me. However, what set Bucknell apart from the other schools I was looking at was the students themselves. I remember coming to campus for my lacrosse official visit, and immediately wanting to be a part of such an engaged, passionate, and driven community. I always heard people say in high school, ‘People who go to Bucknell absolutely love it,’ but I never paid much mind or attention to the statement. Now, as a senior looking back on my last four years, I can truly say I understand and resonate with what they mean.”
