First Day @ Yale Law | PhD Student Studying American Legal History

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Good morning everyone! I hope your fall term is off to a great start or that you are enjoying the remainder of your summer

[@VickyLoras]

Can we take a minute to appreciate: - Back-to-back videos by Kaelyn - Your enthusiasm once you sat in the library (omg such an amazing library!) - Your enthusiasm about everything! Even the tea you get, the places you visit, I just love how excited you get! I wish you an amazing second year! I am also a second-year PhD student at the University of Zurich in Switzerland!

[@GenXBeauty]

I'm a first-year PhD student at the University of North Dakota and Kaelyn's enthusiasm has inspired my passion for my own program! Love her videos!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

This comment just made my day! I am so glad we can all share in this excitement

[@KaelynGraceApple]

This makes me so blissfully happy to read

[@GenXBeauty]

@@KaelynGraceApple I feel I've found my people with you and your viewers. I love school, learning, and books and it's wonderful to interact with others who feel the same!

[@ninjapoodle22]

I love your enthusiasm for learning, and your work ethic. You and The Vintage Academic are really great role models for young women, and women in general regarding education. Happy first day of class! And thanks for sharing your perspective and experiences with the rest of the world. 🙂. Also adding, I am absolutely in love with your library! I know from reading up on history of UC Berkeley that it was founded by a Yale alum and that may have had some huge influence in the design of the Doe Library. It has a very very similar design, so obviously I’m in love with Doe Library 📚 at UC Berkeley!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Oh that is a history fact I didn't know!!! That's so cool!

[@maryap8821]

The first day of class is always so exciting! I'm living vicariously through you, since I'll be starting my thesis work this year and won't get the pleasure of attending classes. Have a great academic year Kaelyn! 💛

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thank you!!! Best of luck on your thesis

[@rajismyfavorite]

Love the old card catalog in the library. I had always loved them, but as a cataloging librarian, I love them more now.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

🥰♥️

[@GenXBeauty]

I used card catalogs all the way through high school...I prefer that to electronic repositories, but I've gotten with the times!

[@buckeyewill2166]

As a retired library employee, I too like the card catalog.

[@logan1769]

Thank you so much for making these videos, they are so inspiring and make me feel so comfortable! xx

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Aw thank you so much for watching!!!

[@TheVintageAcademic]

Omg seeing you on campus is amazing!!! 🥺🥺 The campus is gorgeous and I can’t wait to see more!!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

I love it here so much

[@lisakurkowski9131]

Woah! Yale law school! Congrats, thats a huge accomplishment and will set you up nicely for a well paying career :)

[@EmilyKathrynH]

Ahh so exciting! I imagine I'll be feeling all the imposter syndrome and shaky nerves when my classes finally start in a few weeks. It truly doesn't seem like I'm already halfway done with my grad program

[@KaelynGraceApple]

I am right there with you! I felt much more at ease by the second class

[@thaivang8726]

Congratulations on your new journey!

[@reginayfavors]

The Paper Chase is my favorite law school film, and every time I see it, I still feel anxiety. I'm not even in the film, nor have I taken a law school class, but I still fix nervous as an observer/watcher of the film. Strange.

[@oguzhanacikgozzz]

Could you take more Yale Law Campus vlogs, please? It makes me motivated. I am a freshman law student right now, I want to make my llm degree in Yale Law. Good luck and best wishes for you from Turkey!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Yes! Will definitely get more footage of the law school!

[@Victoria-sp8nh]

Wow why did I get Grigotts vibes from Harry Potter! So stunning you are very lucky, good luck with your classes 😁

[@rez_Vatani]

[@MontanaDior]

I honestly forgot what it’s like to sit in the library, we still have so many restrictions here in Maryland 😒

[@KaelynGraceApple]

:( I'm so sorry to hear that

[@HollyJaneYT]

Oh my gosh, the LIBRARY!!! 🤩🤩

[@KaelynGraceApple]

I love it here 🥰😍

[@singlebombmom3834]

I am so happy for you!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thank you :) I am so glad to be back

[@ivantamayoromero1668]

I really do wish you make it into Law School. I want to do my PhD in Political Science at Stanford (I have 10 other options that I am really excited about as well) and I am going to be using all of your advices. I am applying next year and I will come back to this comment in 2023 with the results. I have got a good feeling about it.

[@cecelia996]

Our school doesn't start until after Labour day in Canada but I'm excited. Back to costume school! The program I'm taking might turn into a BA that's another 2 years and I hope it does as I wish to transfer to the University of Glasgow as they have an amazing Textiles history Masters program I want to take

[@navalgirl09]

I am going to the University of Glasgow for my masters in MRes for Russian Eastern European Studies. I hope that I am not out of my element when I go because my undergrad was in history.

[@cecelia996]

@@navalgirl09 ohh good luck that sounds exciting! I love history. I'm sure you will be fine and do wonderful!

[@KaelynGraceApple]

You've totally got this! Reach out if you ever need support

[@KaelynGraceApple]

That would be wonderful! Textile history and archeology is so fascinating

[@jor_wish]

Heyyyy i’m not sure if you remember me but we had a class together at ucla lol 💕

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Of course I remember!!! Congrats on Howard!!!

[@jor_wish]

@@KaelynGraceApple Thanks! Congrats to you too :)

[@ligiaforbes5461]

Hi! What was your previous academic experience? ( Undergrad)What's your ultimate goal?

[@KaelynGraceApple]

I was in community college and transferred to UCLA, got my masters at Oxford and am now at Yale for my PhD. I have many goals 😉

[@alexisreve1]

Just discovered your channel. Out of curiosity, given your law school and social justice ambitions, why did you decide to pursue history as opposed to, say, sociology?

[@KaelynGraceApple]

The way I think was better suited towards history and I believe both history and sociology serve important functions in social justice efforts

[@edwardstreetcornergermen4769]

Hello Kaelyn, I am a undergraduate history student at Stony Brook University and planning on graduating in May 2022 with B.A. in History, and then going to a History Graduate Program. My Colonial North American and American Revolution history, my additional interests are the history of the Early Modern Atlantic Word and British Isles, particularly in the Early Modern Period. Yale University History Department’s Graduate M.A. in history Program is one of the programs I will be applying to, and I was wondering do you know the average cumulative undergraduate GPA for Yale University Graduate Admissions? I currently have a 3.950 cumulative GPA. Do you also happen to know the average cumulative your undergraduate GPA for other programs? such as The College of William and Mary, Rutgers University New Brunswick, and University of Pennsylvania?

[@KaelynGraceApple]

There is no average gpa. Focus on your written sample and sop

[@annebagenda629]

Your skin looks so good. What are you using?

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Just a gentle cleanser and my summer fridays moisturizer :)

[@angelinahampel873]

Your backpack is so cool that's the brand ?

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Joules! I bought it in England

[@lindseyflax941]

that outfit is so cute! i love it.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thank you! I love this outfit

[@oliver539]

so i am guessing you have to have a JD in order to do this.

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Nope! I’m in the PhD program and I can take cross listed classes at the law school

[@dazzlingchick]

💋Thanks again Kaelyn. Your is beautiful btw. Continued Blessings and Support. ~Love&Light♥️Carli

[@KaelynGraceApple]

Thank you so much
