Whitney Hopper has been selected to attend Princeton University, located in New Jersey approximately 50 miles southwest of New York City. \u201cIts crazy!\u201d Hopper said of being the first Redhound to attend Princeton adding she received her acceptance letter on March 30. \u201cIt was the best one that would accept me,\u201d Hopper said adding she had also been accepted to the University of Kentucky. \u201cHow can you pass up that opportunity?\u201d Hopper added Tucker Hart will be on the other side of New York City, at Yale University, located in New Haven, Connecticut, 82 miles northeast of New York City. \u201cIt was my only choice,\u201d Hart said of Yale adding he went to the campus over the summer for camp and decided to apply. \u201cIt is pretty cool!\u201d Hart said of being the first Redhound to attend Yale adding he received his acceptance letter on December 1. Hart said he applied to UK the same day he received the acceptance letter to Yale. \u201cI had to call them back later that week and tell them I had been accepted by another university. Hart said when he told his mom, Tonya, she took it well. \u201cShe just said \u2018Okay, whatever,\u2019\u201d Hart said. \u201cShe wasn\u2019t surprised at all.\u201d In addition to the fact that it is Yale, Hart said the campus and the city sealed the deal for him. \u201cThe campus just resonated with me with the old architecture,\u201d Hart said. \u201cIt is a great atmosphere and it is close to New York.\u201d Hopper said her parents, Kenneth and Lisa, were ecstatic about the news. \u201cThey actually threw a party for me,\u201d Hopper said adding her mom tells everyone she meets that her daughter is going to Princeton. Hopper said she has never been to the area. \u201cIt is exciting to go someplace new,\u201d Hopper said. Hart said while Yale is known for its law and medical programs, Hart said it also has an excellent computer science program. \u201cI have always really been passionate about computer science and I want to build on those skills,\u201d Hart said adding he has done some freelance web design and programming. Hart said he would like to earn a Masters Degree in Computer Science and then do something in the research area in the short term. \u201cThen more long term, I would like to get a job with a company and end up wherever that takes me,\u201d Hart said. \u201cIt would be cool to work at Google.\u201d Hopper said while she is majoring in engineering because of her love of math and science, she has not chosen what field of engineering she would like to go into. \u201cI have always been stronger at math and science so engineering seemed logical,\u201d Hopper said. To any students considering an Ivy League school, Hart and Hopper advised them to apply and see what happens. \u201cI thought I was going to UK but it surprised me,\u201d Hopper said. \u201cYou have to stand out in other places besides test scores,\u201d Hart added. \u201cEveryone applying has the test scores needed to get accepted. The rest is you showing them that you are unique enough to matter to their campus.\u201d"}
