Asha Rangappa ‘96, is the Dean of Admissions at Yale Law School and a former FBI agent..
Q. Why did you decide to join the FBI?
A. While I was in law school, I realized that the path to becoming a prosecutor was typically going to work for a law firm for a few years. I did that for one summer. It really wasn't going to be what I wanted to do. Law firms pay a lot of money and they do interesting work, but it just wasn't where my heart was. So I started thinking about alternative ways that I could become a federal prosecutor. It occurred to me that I could be an FBI agent. I learned that under Hoover special agents were always lawyers or accountants. I hadn’t known that. That was another thing that made it appealing to me, that it was a theoretically valid thing to do after law school, the “order” part of the “law and order.” I'd kick down doors for a few years and then I would become a prosecutor and I would have had the experience and insight from being an agent on the other side.
