Why Brown Statement: “Being from New England, I had known of Brown my whole life, but it wasn't until I set foot on the campus and viewed the school from a student's perspective that I realized Brown was my dream school. The school itself offers an amazing education with the Open Curriculum allowing me to explore all of my academic interests instead of forcing me into a major right away. Brown also offered an incredibly supportive team with passionate coaches and energetic teammates who would push me to be my best everyday. I can't wait to see what the next four years bring!”
