WHY SHE CHOSE SANTA CLARA: I chose Santa Clara because of its outstanding academics, athletics and community. As a daughter of two alumni, it has always been my dream to be a Bronco. Through my parents, I met many other alumni who had great experiences at Santa Clara University (SCU). Their passion for SCU made me love it even more. I am really excited to be a part of the religious, prestigious community of SCU.
