Application Profile

Softs: Childhood adversity; very involved in local community

FunkyKong's wisdom

Decided to apply pretty last minute so my application was somewhat rushed. Additionally, this cycle was brutal. I feel like had I had more time and a previous cycle I would have seen less wait lists and rejections. I was hoping I’d at least get into a few T14 but it was not to be.

After much consideration I decided to attend Minnesota. I know I want to stay in the state long term and am leaning towards pursuing public interest work. I will graduate debt free. I saw little benefit to Penn since I am not pursuing the “unicorn” PI outcomes people like to talk about so much.
