WHY MINNESOTA: "Minnesota has always been one of my dream schools to attend. Once I started talking to the coaches there, we immediately bonded and created an important relationship. Having coach Anderson at Minnesota for over 40 years makes the program that much more special. On the academic side, Minnesota's business school (Carlson School of Management) is one of the best in the nation and I believe a degree from such a great school will help me accomplish my professional goals."
