Tyler Tran (GPA: 4.503)Rutgers University – New Brunswick, FinanceBest high school memory: I’ve had many great memories throughout my high school career, but one that sticks with me the most was my junior year homecoming dance. Having skipped my freshman and sophomore year homecoming dances, this was my first one. In the days leading up to it, I felt quite under the weather, but with encouragement from my friends, I took some medicine and decided to go anyway.At homecoming, I had so much fun being surrounded by my friends and dancing. I also met my girlfriend there after being asked to dance with her. I’m very grateful that my friends convinced me to go, since I had such a great time. It’s truly a memory I’ll never forget!,

Amanuel Amanuel (GPA: 4.402)Rutgers University – New Brunswick, Biomedical EngineeringBest high school memory: My experience in my sophomore English class. Two years ago, I had an English class that had everyone I knew in that class. I was packed with no seats available(I sat at a lounge chair at the front).The teacher for the class, Ms. Monaco Caldwell, had a passion for the arts and made us act out scenes from books we read. The moment was the scene of Banquo’s death in Macbeth; I was Banquo, and two of the world’s most chaotic people played my would-be assassins.With prop swords on hand, a clash of random swings and misses paraded through the air. And still, the assassins had triumphed over me. I was soon to die, with my last words being a fading cry for my son to flee.That’s how the scene was intended to be, but the bursts of laughter from the class, and mostly me, it was a sitcom.,
