22. What made you choose Yale?
When I visited I found that everyone I met made me want to get to know them more because they were so talented in so many interesting ways.  It was a unique experience that I wanted to continue.

23. You are being exiled to a deserted island and you are allowed to take two items and one of your teammates, which teammate and what two items are you bringing with you and why?
I'd take our captain, Ann Guillemette, though she'd probably be furious that I stole her away from reality in favor of a fictitious desert island.  In terms of items: an oversized inflatable water raft and a snow cone machine so we could live our fate in style.
