Cornell University Athletics

Why I Chose Cornell: After years of being on my high school's robotics team, I knew I wanted to study engineering, and Cornell's program is unparalleled. With that being said, Cornell's motto of "any student...any study" was also appealing, as there are so many other areas of interest that I have the opportunity to explore during my time here. I am excited to be able to continue rowing, too. The team has been so welcoming, the coaching staff is great, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a wonderful community.
