“I searched for a school that boasted a positive environment for collaboration, commitment to scientific training, and a high caliber of mentorship, all surrounded by a town I could feel at home in. My first exposure to the University of Iowa was during a summer undergraduate research fellowship. During that ten weeks training, I found that that the University of Iowa fulfilled all of my expectations for graduate school and much, much more. It was that experience that I compared all of my other graduate interviews too, and needless to say, but I will anyway, I chose the University of Iowa. ”
