Ep. 70 – Meet Our LSAT & MCAT Coaches! Part 3: Josh Kapur, Gabriel Benjamen, Jacob McNair, Isabella Papalia, Jonathan Mackenzie

Meet More of Our LSAT and MCAT Coaches!

We are so excited to bring you even more of our amazing coaches in Part 3 of our Meet the Coaches series! I am joined by 4 of our wonderful LSAT and MCAT coaches and our amazing COO Jonathan Mackenzie. In this episode, we chat about everyone’s testing experiences, their approaches to coaching, and why they’re here with us at Apply Yourself. 

Get To Know Our Coaches!

All of our coaches bring a breadth of experience and expertise, as informed by their unique contexts, backgrounds, and perspectives. We are so happy to bring them on to the podcast so you can get to know them better! Listen to this episode to learn more about: 

  • Isabella, Gabriel, Josh, and Jacob’s unique academic, volunteer, and professional backgrounds; 
  • Isabella and Jacob’s experiences studying for and writing the LSAT and their journeys to law school;
  • Gabriel and Josh’s experiences studying for and writing the MCAT and their journeys to medical school;
  • The kinds of strategies that worked for each of our coaches and the growth mindset they experienced while studying for, writing, and rewriting their standardized tests – the standardized, traditional way doesn’t work for a lot of people, and at Apply Yourself we believe in creating a personalized study plan that best fits you and your learning style; 
  • Our non-competition based policy and the importance of focusing on yourself, treating your peers as potential colleagues, and celebrating not only your wins, but also the wins of others;
  • Why the “guarantees” advertised by big box test prep companies are toxic and promote anxiety and scarcity mindset in students who take these standardized courses; and 
  • What each coach is excited to bring to the Apply Yourself Community through their unique strategy, support, and perspectives!
