Notes: Member of the Marine Corps JROTC in high school

I choose Kentucky … “when I spoke to Coach Mullins, he reminded me of the coach I had through high school and I loved my high school coach. I was able to click with Coach Mullins very well. The campus was also very homey feeling when I visited and it felt like a place where I could fit in.”
