Choosing High Point University in North Carolina, Crowell expressed her enthusiasm for the institution, calling it “one of the best decisions” she’s made.

She intends to pursue a science degree at High Point and eventually earn a doctorate in physical therapy.
Despite facing rejections from a few universities during her extensive application process, including the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Tulane University, Crowell encouraged her peers to maintain a positive outlook and manage stress effectively.
