But Sanghvi said that “the best thing about it is that I got to meet a bunch of really smart people” in other concentrations. “It was great to see what these other guys were doing.”
Rachael A. Wagner ’04 also won induction last year as a junior, and she has since received a Rhodes scholarship. She said she did not think membership in the society brought her the scholarship, but that the two honors “coincided.”
But Wagner said she was “excited” and “honored” to be chosen for the select group.
“We have some really interesting faculty who come to speak at all the [society] events,” Wagner said.
Although extracurricular activities are not an official criterion for election, many of this year’s chosen juniors are active outside of classes. Carroll, for example, is the editor-in-chief of Swift, and Wolf plays on the varsity track and field team. Another inductee, Joshua I. Rosenbloom ’05, is former president of Hillel.
The Junior 24 will be inducted at a dinner ceremony in May, where they will also elect four marshals for next year.
The following juniors were elected: Benjamin T. Bakker, David H. Camden, Carroll, John H. Chaffetz, Simon E. Chin, Nathaniel J. Craig, James A.W. David, David, J. Hiniker, Joseph S. Hong, Daniel J. Irom, John K. Lai, Jonathan C.S. Leong, Zachary D. Liscow, Julia P.R. Mansfield, Sameer Narang, Kazi S. Rahman, Rosenbloom, Abdur R. Sabar, Stephanie L. Safdi, Brad M. Smith, Kevin M. Weil, Jonathan A. Weiss, Rebecca E. Wexler and Wolf.
