Personal

What are the three reasons you chose CCNY?
1. CCNY has amazing, rigorous, diverse academic programs.
2. Let's be realistic; it's cheaper to go here than almost anywhere else - AND you get your money's worth because CCNY is the poor man's Harvard.
3. The campus is absolutely beautiful.
 
 
What do you like most about attending CCNY?
Studying here has always been challenging, yet satisfying. It's been giving me a lot of the extra push I needed, which is always a good thing. Competing here at CCNY drives the school spirit in me. As a Div III school, competing against Div I's and doing well for my school makes me love my position as a CCNY Beaver all the better. It makes me work harder.

Academic and athletic accomplishments at CCNY: In terms of academics, I was ranked number 6 out of 216 students, graduating with honors. In high school, I was on fencing as well. I became captain and anchor the same year that I joined, maintaining the spot of MVP for 3 years. I also led my fencing team to play offs twice, which are the only two times that the team ever saw play-offs since the team's establishment.
Favorite celebrity: Eminem
Favorite movies:
Shrek 1-3, Mulan 1 and 2, The Avengers, The Hunger Games
What are the top three things you like about studying and competing at CCNY:
I love the variety in studies and the vast opportunities that studying at City College has to offer. In terms of competing, I love the fact that I'm getting a lot of outside exposure. We're always leaving the area.
