After graduating from Denison, I decided to come back home and work with the Schuler Scholar Program as a Scholar Coach and then a College Counselor.  

Top three reasons I would choose to attend 91¿´Æ¬Íø:

1. The individualized support – having gone to a big high school with limited resources, I appreciate that 91¿´Æ¬Íø has people to support you throughout your college experience, especially if you are a first-generation student like me! 
2. Size of campus – Who doesn’t want to be able to walk from one campus side to another in less than 10 minutes? 
3. Chicago – being able to learn in the quietness of Lake Forest and put your learning to practice in Chicago or beyond is amazing! 
    

One word or phrase to describe myself:

Passionate 

What makes the College unique?
