Why Wake Forest
"I knew immediately after my first visit to Wake Forest that this was the school for me. Stepping onto the beautiful campus, taking in the sights at Wait Chapel, and meeting with my future coaches made me realize that Wake Forest is where I'm meant to be. Wake Forest reminds me of my high school campus, McDonogh School, which I have enjoyed tremendously. Wake Forest's exceptional academics provides the opportunity to explore a versatile curriculum within each major and that was a big win for me, as I am interested in pursuing a degree in Sociology. Wake Forest has built a unique reputation for excellence on and off the court, and that is something I want to be a part of. Getting to know the coaching staff put the icing on the cake for me. The women's basketball program at Wake Forest embodies positivity, excellence, teamwork, and a will to win. Talking with each member of the team and staff opened my eyes to how much everyone loves the school and I can't wait to be a part of this new chapter for the women's basketball program."
