I think the fact that I had a lot of things going on was a standout factor. I was not shy or hesitant in mentioning about all my interests in my application even though it seemed as though I was a jack of all trades and master of none.

Advice for Juniors
Nothing is as hard as people make it out to be. Just study and focus on what interests you without thinking too much about how things will workout.

Biggest Lesson
My biggest lesson is that believing in yourself is very important and probably the most important thing in one’s college journey. Taking the shot and just applying or doing something that people tell you not to do but you know in your heart will benefit you is crucial. Don’t be afraid to speak up about your dreams, fears or interests.
