I'm currently a fourth-year at the University of Chicago, where I am pursuing a degree in the humanities. My college experience comes from having taken undergraduate level summer courses for credit at Northwestern University (summer 2009), Harvard University (summer 2010), Yale University (summer 2011) and from my own extensive college visits and research. These posts are designed to link you to the resources you need to find the right college for you and to otherwise fill you in on the admission process and what to expect from life in college and pre-college programs. Feel free to comment with any questions—I try to always respond. Happy hunting!
