Meet Our LSAT & MCAT Coaches! Part 2: Kirsta Ariello, Jacky Chen, Jonathan Mackenzie

Meet Our MCAT and LSAT Coaches!
We’re back with Part 2 of our Meet the Coaches series! This week, I’m joined by Kirsta Ariello and Jacky Chen, one of our MCAT and LSAT coaches, respectively, and our COO Jonathan Mackenzie on the podcast!

Hear from Kirsta, Jacky, and Jonathan!
The values, principles, and strategies of all of our coaches align with Apply Yourself’s philosophy of providing customized and personalized test prep based on each person’s unique learning style and circumstances. Tune in to learn more about: 

• Kirsta and Jacky’s experiences as applicants and students in their respective schools, and their experiences studying for and taking the MCAT/LSAT;
• The kind of growth and reflection that happens in your studying and strategy when you take a standardized test a second time. At Apply Yourself, we know that rewriting standardized tests is absolutely normal and we shine a light on this unspoken part of the process; 
• The importance of focusing on yourself and not comparing yourself to others, whether it be in person or on online forums, as informed by our non-competition based strategy;
• Strategies that helped Kirsta, Jacky, and Jonathan to focus on themselves and maintain their physical and mental health, such as incorporating breaks into their study routine to avoid burnout; and
• What Jacky and Kirsta are most excited about as coaches with the Apply Yourself Community!
