TEM #015: The doors are wide open.

October 22, 2023

Happy Sunday!!

It’s been a big week here. From going on a pumpkin patch hay ride to preparing to launch the resource I needed when applying to graduate school, I’m fully leaning into the fall season.

This week’s highlights:

  • Your education affirmation

  • The Graduate School Bootcamp doors are OPEN 🎉

  • Ketchup pills?!


Education affirmation.

Whatever I need to learn always comes my way at just the right moment.


The Graduate School Application Bootcamp is OPEN

Join The Graduate School Application Bootcamp (it’s FREE!) and get the support you need to hit SUBMIT on your application.

What to expect starting October 30:

  • 3 Monday emails with action steps and templates

  • 3 Thursday live Question & Answer calls with a small group of amazing applicants (you’re not alone in this process!)

  • Personal statement support before submission

  • A boost of confidence and a cheerleader in your corner 📣

The best part?

Get pure honesty from a university educator who knows how the process works… and also pushed through imposter syndrome while applying to graduate school as a working professional.

I’ve got you.

Here’s the schedule:

  • Week 1: October 30 (Email), November 2 (Q&A Call)

    • Letters of Recommendation + How to Choose a Scroll-Stopping Personal Statement Story

  • Week 2: November 6 (Email), November 9 (Q&A Call)

    • How to Connect with Admissions and Faculty + Imposter Syndrome

  • Week 3: November 13 (Email), November 16 (Q&A Call)

    • Addressing Weak Points on Application + Personal Statement Final Drafts

The live Q&A calls are at 7:30PM ET and completely optional. You’ll still get the weekly emails and support 🤝

Looking forward to getting you across the finish line!


Fun fact.

In the 1830s, ketchup was considered medicine for ailments like indigestion.

It was even sold in pill form 💊

Today’s version of ketchup (via Heinz) started in 1876 and eventually became a common condiment.

Future medical students, enjoy this list of other old-school “medicines.”


Looking forward to seeing you in The Graduate School Application Bootcamp!

Have a fantastic week!

P.S. Have a coworker, friend or mentee who’s finishing up the application process? Forward this email and encourage them to check out the bootcamp. Your message could be the vote of confidence they need to hit submit this year : )
