 Quote:
"I honestly had no idea where I wanted to go. I really was questioning all my choices, and even a week before the deadline I still had no idea. But that weekend, I took a trip down and visited Emory. I liked the campus a lot and everyone I met had only good things to say about the school and Atlanta. Even after I had decided on Emory, people came up to me and told me what a great choice I had made, and I knew I would be comfortable here."
