Why I chose Princeton?
Princeton offers incredible academic opportunities and has a strong emphasis on the undergraduate education. Princeton also has a perfect balance of high academic standards and highly competitive water polo, allowing me to compete with a top team while pursuing my education. For these reasons, Princeton was my first choice. Additionally, everyone I have spoken to at Princeton has been so welcoming, really making me feel at home. As an international student, I am excited to experience a new culture and connect with a diverse range of people.
