Ep. 14 – Applying to Graduate Schools with Josh N.

I am so grateful to be joined by my dear client, Josh! Josh and I have worked together over the years on various application processes, advancing each time toward a life beyond his wildest dreams. Josh completed his undergraduate Bachelor of Arts degree in political science at the University of Toronto. He began working with us at Apply Yourself in his third and fourth year to prepare for his graduate program application. Currently, Josh is working in Canadian politics for a Minister in the provincial government, in his desired field!     

Josh describes his personal experience working with Apply Yourself. While working with me, Josh realized that his skills in French and knowledge about Quebec politics informed his unique application, based on which he was successfully admitted into his graduate program of choice.  

Give this episode a listen or few to learn about: 

• Josh’s academic interests and professional journey, where Josh’s French-speaking background and certifications in the language have helped to propel him forward into new opportunities that align with his interests and educational background. 
• The importance of the reflective and mindful work involved with the application process, which many applicants often miss and the work we engage in during our 1:1 Sessions, and 
• How you can produce tangible and intangible deliverables through working with us at Apply Yourself, including your own personalized application package that is unique to you and your experiences. Working together also results in skills development in mindfully reflecting on your own experiences and presenting them in a way that you feel aligned with and that would impress any admissions committee.
