I've wanted to be an Archaeologist my whole life. I applied to transfer because I knew the University of Pennsylvania was famous for its Classical Studies department and involvement in the world of museums and archaeology. Although I greatly appreciate my time at Johns Hopkins, I believe the University of Pennsylvania was a better fit for my academic and career goals.
