Episode 127: No One is a Number with Emily Caruso

At Apply Yourself Global, we pride ourselves on delivering real results while revolutionizing admission preparation and success-based programs. How do we ensure our clients get the support and resources they need to achieve their highest goals?

Discovering the Habits & Mindset That Work For You

My guest for this episode of Success Unlocked is Emily Caruso, one of our accomplished clients and fellows. Emily received acceptance letters from 100% of her chosen schools — including extremely early acceptance to her dream school! Press play to discover the individualized support that helped her thrive throughout her application journey, how the process has caused her to show up differently in her life and relationships, and why you must remember to trust your brain!

In this episode, we explore:

  • The personalized process that helped Emily increase her LSAT score by 11 points (and why her study schedule was so easy to stick to)
  • The moment that flipped the switch in terms of Emily’s mindset — and how this shift transformed her approach to practice tests  
  • Whether you should include pre-undergrad experiences in your law school application (and Emily’s unique and effective strategy!) 
  • Emily’s experience in juggling LSAT coaching with our Mastering Academic Applications program 

 Follow and subscribe to never miss an episode!

Guest bio: Emily Caruso is in her fourth year of the Justice, Political Law, and Philosophy program at McMaster and will be starting as an L1 student at Osgoode Hall Law School in September.
