What I love most about working with our clients is hearing their stories and helping them discover their incredible, unique qualities – and then transforming them into materials (both written and interview-ready) that will help propel them forward in their academic, professional, and personal lives. When applying for university, students often need help framing their stories and focusing on their successes to put together the most effective application package possible.
Most (or all!) applicants think at one time or another that they “don’t have enough” or “other applicants have more.”
I’m here to tell you that you’ve got everything that you need to succeed, right now. You have enough. You are enough. You just have to know how to showcase and frame your experience in a way that is authentic, compelling, and unique.
The application process can be confusing and overwhelming. Students often procrastinate because they’re unsure how to complete their Statement of Purpose or engage with referees. Some applicants might overthink what to include in their applications or search TikTok, YouTube, or other social platforms for advice. Social media can undoubtedly be a source of practical information, but much of it might be contradictory, leading to even more confusion and procrastination. The result is that you wind up staring at a blank page on your laptop.
As the deadline approaches, you might jump in at full steam, writing pages and pages of material, but without any focus or strategy. This will lead to further frustration and worry that you’ll never complete and submit your application in time.
The good news is that help is available! Working with an Advancement Coach and Strategist at Apply YourselfTM transforms what seems insurmountable into something enjoyable and enlightening. Once you join the Apply YourselfTM Community, you’ll stop spinning your wheels and start moving forward quickly.
Working with our Advancement Coach & Strategist
At Apply YourselfTM; it all starts with an initial free Strategy Call to help us learn more about you and develop an admissions strategy, including brainstorming the quality content you need to reach your goals. After just a few minutes, you’ll understand that your application is not so much a chore as an opportunity to showcase your amazing qualities – we might even discover some you never knew you had!
The key to our approach is discovering what program(s) and school(s) you’re applying to, what kind of life you want to lead, and what legacy you want to leave behind. Our 5-year vision exercise, among others, enables us to develop your skills to build application pieces that complement every other part, reflecting all the effort and hard work you’ve put in to get to where you are. Think of a puzzle – we are developing each puzzle piece with you. And each piece fits seamlessly with the next, ultimately, developing a polished, compelling application that speaks to the admissions committee – they want to know you!
Here are three of the most important aspects of working with Apply YourselfTM:
University application development
We collaborate with you to formulate the best application strategy for your graduate and professional school applications, from law school to medical school to Master’s and Ph.D. programs, other post-graduate programs, as well as professional applications and promotions processes.
Customized one-on-one coaching
Our team coaches you one-on-one to develop personalized submissions that reflect your values and experiences, build relevant skills, and make big moves to change and advance your academic and professional life. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter coaching and approach everything in a manner that’s customized to you.
Personalized support
As a member of the Apply YourselfTM Community, we provide unparalleled support through the application, career transition, and promotion processes. We keep the focus on your skills and strength, not on those of your competitors, to foster a growth mindset.
We transform what can be an overwhelming experience into one of enthusiasm and fulfillment. Knowing that you’re confidently presenting the best version of yourself to the world nurtures a positive outlook and a plan you can build your future on.
Life after working with Apply YourselfTM?
Our clients tell us that after submitting their applications, they don’t feel anxious waiting for the results. They actually experience a sense of relief that comes with knowing they did their best. Regardless of the outcome, they have the tools they need to live the life they’ve always dreamed about. No one can ever take that away from them.
One of our program’s most significant impacts is the self-realization of your awesome skills and qualities. Seeing them on paper and used strategically in your application will give you a massive boost of confidence. You’ll be empowered to showcase yourself to future admissions committees as you advance through your academic career and later on to potential employers.
Having a solid mentorship base is critical to positive outcomes. That doesn’t mean just having someone cheer you on (although we do that, too!). You also need a mentor to help you articulate what makes you wonderfully unique. Your mentor should also have the “insider knowledge” of what admissions committees expect from applicants and share the tips and techniques that make all the difference between acceptance and rejection. Our founder, Dr. Adrienne Shnier, is an Admissions Committee Member who will share these valuable insights with you and use them to your advantage.
With the Apply YourselfTM programs, you get a fantastic journey that gives you everything you need to maximize your chances of getting into the school of your dreams and the skills and confidence to help you live a rewarding life of enrichment.
I know you deserve to advance. With our program, advancement never has to end.
