In today’s world, the pursuit of higher education and professional aspirations takes individuals down various paths. 

That is why, this time, we’re asking a recent graduate to tell us about his experiences.

In this episode, Corey Heimensen is joined by Zach Springer, a recent graduate from the University of Iowa, to share his journey to law school and the process of preparing for law school admissions. They also touch on the comparison between the successful mind of an attorney versus a medical professional, the role of emotion in decision-making, and the importance of planning and perseverance in achieving long-term goals.

About Guest:

Zach Springer is an incoming J.D. candidate at Harvard Law School.  He will begin his legal education in the fall of 2023. Zach graduated summa cum laude from the University of Iowa in May of 2023 with degrees in Economics and Political Science, as well as a minor in Philosophy. Along with participating in the Honors and Presidential Scholars programs, he served as the President of the Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law Fraternity. Zach was also an Undergraduate Student Government Senator for 2 years and mentored students in the political science and economics departments.

Zach’s mission-based goals, combined with his genuine enjoyment of learning about the law and collaborating with those around him, have confirmed his desire to enter the field of law. He hopes that the experiences he brings will allow him to have a positive impact on those around him and effectively contribute to the practice of law. Working with and learning from other students and faculty in his academic career and expanding his knowledge through internships and part-time opportunities have convinced him of his desire to work with entrepreneurs and other community businesses through legal work.
