My name is Justin Scalise, I am from Hartford CT. I originally went to school at a Junior College in Erie, PA called Mercyhurst Northeast. The reason I went there was because it was on trimesters, and I needed to get my grades up in order to transfer in to JWU.
Coach Morris, the wrestling coach of Johnson and Wales is actually the one that found the school for me, he was recruiting me to come wrestle here and knew my grades fell a little short of requirements, so after meeting with admissions here they allowed me to get my grades up at Mercyhurst and then transfer in after the first trimester.
Overall this turned out to be exactly what I needed; now my grades are higher than ever before and Johnson and Wales has turned out to be a great fit for me. Wrestling has allowed me to meet a lot of new people and create tight bonds with my teammates, making my college experience easier and more fun.
