Writing the LSAT with Jacob McNair

We have Jacob McNair, one of our amazing LSAT coaches, on the podcast! Jacob holds a a Masters degree in Journalism from Toronto Metropolitan University and is currently completing his second year of law school. Today, we’re going to learn all about Jacob, his academic and professional background, his experience, his philosophy, and the ways these inform his coaching with Apply Yourself.

The Key to Positive Mindset Shifts in your Law School and LSAT Journey

The LSAT doesn’t have to be an isolating or competitive process, and Jacob’s experience can attest to that. When we undergo challenging and stressful periods of time, we need to remember to listen to the whispers that guide us to where we want to be, and seek out those moments of reassurance and support. Tune in to learn more about: 

  • Jacob’s journey on getting to law school and his academic and professional background;
  • His experience preparing for the LSAT and his perceptions on the competition – and at Apply Yourself we know that the competition is there, but we focus on you and what you bring to the table;
  • What brought Jacob to Apply Yourself, where we help clients and applicants not only get the best grades, but also build healthy work habits; 
  • The importance of a growth mindset in recognizing that the competition is not there to work against you, but instead work alongside you as potential colleagues;
  • Insights into the LSAT and the skills building involved so you can apply your study strategies to law school; and
  • The importance of gaining exposure to the law and to connect with lawyers when appropriate to determine if this is the path that aligns with you.
