On attending Rensselaer: "I was interested in a rigorous curriculum that would give me an advantage going into the workforce. I fell in love with the campus when I visited for the Chemistry and Medicine Scholars Program the summer before my senior year." - September 2017

Benefits of undergraduate community at Rensselaer: "I appreciate the drive of all the students at Rensselaer and their commitment to education. Being on the track team, it is nice to be part of an athletic community that also possesses that drive, not only in education but in athletics, too." - September 2017
