Macalester College Athletics

Why I chose Macalester:
The main reasons I chose to attend Macalester College was because it has a great track record of placing students in prominent business and law schools, because I wanted to try something new and different, and because of the soccer team. Macalester is one of the elite schools in the area and getting into a good graduate school is very important to me. I know I want a professional degree; I’m just not sure in what yet. But, I have four years to figure out exactly what I want to study and I’m sure Mac will help with that. The second main reason for choosing Mac was for something new. I went to a small prep school in New Jersey for high school and it seemed like everyone there wanted to stay on the east coast for college. I know that Minnesota really isn’t that far from home, especially compared to some international students, but for me it was a big change and I’m excited to experience a new part of the world. The final reason I chose Mac was for the excellent soccer program. Not only did Coach Barker do a great job of recruiting me with countless phone calls and emails but, the team’s track record speaks for itself. Hopefully I can contribute to the Varsity squad this season and help Macalester repeat as conference champs.

What Macalester has meant to me:
I have enjoyed my time thus far at Macalester both academically and on the soccer team. This year I hope to contribute more to an already stellar program.
