Why he chose WashU
WashU’s reputation as a top-tier institution was the biggest allure for Willis.
“I talked to a number of other people that had gone through the program, and they had nothing but glowing things to say. The reputation of the school is the primary reason that I decided to go to WashU. I knew that the professors were good. I knew the curriculum was challenging.”
Building networks
Willis didn’t only benefit from the knowledge of his professors—but also his peers: “You learn just as much from the other people in the class, and I think that's something that is unique to a program like WashU.”
“I walked into the program not knowing a single person, and I walked away with a group of people that I would consider to be some of my closest friends and a network that I would have otherwise never had.”
