Life after Princeton: Exclusive Interview with Emma Kaeser, Class of 2018
In a recent blog post, the "Lab Research" and "Plans After Graduation" sections feature separate interviews with Stacey Huang '16 and Nicholas Wu '18, as well as an enlightening conversation with Emma Kaeser '18. Andrea Reino, the Social Sciences Correspondent, conducts the interview with Emma to shed light on a possible path after Princeton.
Emma Kaeser, a Princeton graduate from 2018, is currently a student at Stanford Law School. During her time at Princeton, she concentrated in the Woodrow Wilson School (WWS), where her core courses dealt with law and policy. This academic focus sparked her interest in law school, and around her sophomore year, she began considering a legal career. By the following year, Emma knew she wanted to pursue law school.
Emma's undergraduate studies were punctuated by significant legal research, as her thesis delved into legal topics. Over the summer between her junior and senior years, she prepared for law school by studying for the LSAT. In September of her senior year, she took the LSAT and began the application process, eventually enrolling at Stanford Law School in the fall following her graduation from Princeton.
Despite the rigorous academic schedule, Emma feels that the time management and work ethic skills she developed at Princeton have been beneficial in law school. However, she did not take any law school-style classes at Princeton, and she suggests that an undergraduate class like Constitutional Law could be informative for someone interested in the legal field.
Contrary to initial statements in the article, the blog post does not provide details about Emma's decision to take a gap year between Princeton and law school or any specific advice about taking a gap year. Furthermore, there are no relevant search results available on Emma's decision to pursue law school after graduating from Princeton University or how her concentration in the Woodrow Wilson School influenced this decision.
The interview with Emma Kaeser aims to provide confidence for future plans, showcasing a successful path after Princeton and into law school. Readers can find the full interview in the "Lab Research" and "Plans After Graduation" sections of the website.
