ATLANTA — Lauren Rose (B.S. ’22) could have attended any university in the country. Her brother, after all, goes to Dartmouth. Already Michigan, Virginia and Georgetown have accepted this high-achieving graduate into their law schools, with additional prestigious options still in the running.
However, after doing her research, the Lambert High (Forsyth County, Ga.) honors, Zell Miller Scholarship and Georgia State Honors College student chose to attend the Public Policy program in Georgia State’s Andrew Young School of Policy Studies.
“I’m big on looking at news and rankings and knew the Andrew Young School was ranked among the top schools in the nation,” Rose said. “The faculty teaching its graduate programs also teach undergrads. Why wouldn’t I choose to learn from these top professors?”
Even with this laser focus on academics, Rose admits she favors application over theory. So, when any interesting experiential opportunities arose, she applied.
Rose served as an undergraduate research assistant after Lauren Forbes, a doctoral fellow at Georgia State, posted an announcement at the Honors College.
“Lauren has a public health background, so for her dissertation she was looking at the relationship between urban farms and minority ownership,” Rose said. “I worked with her in the summer of 2021, then left to study for the LSAT.”
