Why I chose Pitt

During interviews this school immediately stood out as a leading-edge scientific community with active collaborations and motivated students. Not only did the interdisciplinary program give me the freedom to broaden my knowledge in the life sciences, its labs offered high impact projects on human disease. Pittsburgh is an energizing place to call him and I've found the character of the city brings color and fun to the graduate experience.
