What I Learned From Our Busiest Application Cycle (Part 2)
Life at Apply Yourself is never boring! While we’ve refined our support, coaching, and strategy over many years of helping students secure admission to their dream programs, master their LSAT and MCAT prep, and flourish in their professional lives, each client has their own unique journey through the process — and their own powerful story to tell.
Striking the Right Balance: Communicating Trauma in Your Written Materials
In our last episode, I shared a few of the top lessons and takeaways gleaned from Apply Yourself’s latest application cycle. In this thoughtful episode, I explore the valuable strategies I use to help my clients write about their challenging life experiences in a way that strikes a chord with committees while protecting their peace.
This episode explores:
- How to best approach traumatic experiences and difficult circumstances within written application materials (and the key to being effective and not excessive)
- Why I encourage students to communicate their challenging experiences in their written materials — and how their inclusion will strengthen their application
- The difference between writing for discovery and writing for communication
- How the process of writing productively about trauma can shift your perspective, and the compassionate support Apply Yourself offers along the way!
