Personal Statement
I would love to swim in college, and my goals this season are to get my first Junior National cuts, then get my National cuts by the end of senior year. I want to go to a strong academic college with a solid swim program, but that doesn't mean I only want to go to a Division 1 school, because that's absolutely not true. As of right now, I am interested in becoming a Pediatric Oncologist, so a good school for me would be one with a strong pre-med and science program. My dream schools include Stanford, University of Chicago, University of California Berkeley, and University of California San Diego, but I am open to anywhere that shows interest in me.
