WHY UVA?
“I originally became interested in UVA when my sister was a student there and told me all about my freshman year of high school. As I got older and matured, I became more aware of the school’s reputation for being an academic and athletic powerhouse and quickly fell in love with it. The campus is one of a kind, and when I was lucky enough to receive an offer to play for the men’s lacrosse team. I jumped at the opportunity to be a part of this team and university.”
