Where are the grads headed?

Carleton doesn’t send a lot of people to law school. I only know a few others from my year who went. One is at GW, one is at Marquette, one is at Yale, one is at Cornell, one is at NYU and another is here at Columbia with me. Going to Carleton isn’t going to hurt you for any law schools, especially since where you go for undergrad doesn’t matter a whole lot in the admisisons process.

We send a lot of people to graduate school. It’s probably one of the most popular choices. I know two at UW-Madison (math and physics), one at UC-Boulder (history), several at Berkeley (history, bio, math and chem), one at Stanford (bio) and one at Yale (econ). I also know one person who went to med school, but I don’t remember where.

Outside of grad school, which again is a popular choice, we have people go into the same sorts of things other college grads do. We’ve had a bunch do Teach for America and the JET program, or teaching abroad through some other program. We also seem to send quite a few people to financial analysis/consulting firms, which was a little suprising to me given how hippie-ish the student body is. We also have some people who sort of wander around for a little while and a few who stay in Northfield working for Carleton.
