Would you expect less of a Princeton grad? Wonder what her GPA there was?Kaitlyn was just showing off.12/14 is fantastic whether you’re talking about making the honor roll or shooting stats.

Don’t know what Kaitlyn’s GPA was at Princeton. But she earned her degree in Medical Anthropology, completing several summer research internships at prestigious medical institutions along the way.

One of the best statistics around women's collegiate sports is how many of them excel at academics. For so many the sport is the vehicle they use to get to where they want to be in life and what UConn WCBB has accompished in this aspect is commendable. Nicely done!!

Ice and Allie need to step it up. They're not in the pic so I assume they didn't make it.
Huhh? Princeton generally considered toughest grader among the Ivies. It's the only Ivy school where every undergrad is required to complete an honors project/capstone called the senior thesis.
If you choose Princeton with a bit of thought involved, incoming Freshmen know that it will be a demanding academic experience.

I assumed @Cornell Lt was joking. However, as a not-yet-retired college prof, I can confirm that the rumors of grade inflation at the Ivies are very well-subscribed. Requiring a senior thesis is a good program, but it says nothing about grade inflation.
Still, whether the grades are inflated or not, the students get an excellent education and most of them work really hard.

I'd be curious to see what their majors are.

Underclassmen may not be obligated to declare their major before their junior year.

As devastating as their injuries have been for their playing careers, I suppose a silver lining of having a redshirt year and more time in school is that young women like Aubrey, Azzi, and Paige will leave UConn with their bachelor's degrees and be well on their way to their master's or a second bachelor's—though Azzi seems to have finished her degree early regardless.
I know the idea of a "student-athlete" has become a joke to some in the age of NIL, the portal, and one-and-done in men's basketball, but I'm impressed to see how the team is taking advantage of their time in school for when basketball may not be a way to pay the bills.
Also, a special shoutout to Jana and all our international alumnae. I've never had the experience of studying abroad. Still, I have to imagine that reading, writing, doing lab reports, etc. in a language other than one's native tongue must add an extra degree of difficulty to the full-time "job" of being a student-athlete.
