Why Vanderbilt: “I chose Vandy because of the university’s outstanding reputation in both academics and athletics. Immediately after visiting, I knew that the competitive and supportive environment was somewhere I could succeed and accomplish my academic and athletic goals. The girls had such a close-knit, fun team culture, and the coaches were so supportive, all giving me full confidence in my decision to choose Vanderbilt.”
