Becoming Special Agent Asha-A lot of strange tests | Asha Rangappa '96

Asha Rangappa ‘96, is the Dean of Admissions at Yale Law School and a former FBI agent..
Q. What was it like to get that call from the FBI?
A. It was really exciting. At the point where I got the call, I had gone through a couple of phases. I had gone for this initial weird battery of psychological tests. They ask you things like, “Do you leave your desk messy at the end of the day?” It was very strange. I got past that, so I guess I wasn't crazy, and then they gave me another phase of tests, which was also very strange and involved a lot of hard math. I got past that, so the point at which they called me it wasn't quite yet, “You're in,” it was, “We’re going to actually start moving on your application.” So I was excited, but there was still quite a long way to go. An in-person interview phase, background check, and that was very intense because they do a full, thorough background check because you get a top secret clearance. That took several months. I had to track down basically everyone everywhere I'd ever lived and somebody who knew me there. After that was done, which took several months, I had to go and do a drug test, a polygraph, and a physical fitness test. Probably from the time that they start moving on the application to the time that I actually got the phone call that I was to report to Quantico was about nine or ten months. But that's fast for the FBI.
