Personal Statement
Ideally, I am looking for a university with an outstanding academic reputation and a competitive athletic program where I can find a nice balance between the classroom and athletic competition. I live in the Midwest but I want to pursue a degree in Marine Biology so I am willing to look at all options and will travel to wherever I need to go to for the right opportunity. Financial assistance is going to be very important to me in the college selection process. I would be willing to travel farther to a school with high quality academics and less out of pocket expense.
