Why choose Wisconsin?
I wanted to be a third generation badger and couldn’t pass up the opportunity once I was accepted. It will both advance my career substantially and open the door for me in more ways than I can imagine.

Advice:
Don’t sell yourself short during the application process and be proud of the work you’ve done so far. The more well-rounded member of society you are vs. perfect grades, the better you’ll be.

Fun fact:
I lived abroad for 6 months and I have an extensive background in useless Shakespeare facts.
