Episode 47: Interview with Emily Schumaker

IN THIS EPISODE

My guest today is Emily Schumaker. Like many students, Emily’s plan for where and when things would happen had to change from what she originally expected. But she didn’t let that get her down! She took a gap year between finishing her DPD and applying to internships, and used that time very wisely. Really, it only added to her application.

Emily also used several Application Insider freebies, which is awesome. Everything we talk about can be found in the show notes, so check there to make sure you’ve got all the resources that are available.

Here are some of the things we cover in this episode:

  1. Emily’s application timeline, including her gap year, and how she used that time wisely

  2. How Emily addressed some concerns she had about her own GPA and the info she got to move forward with confidence

  3. Emily’s tips for how you can move forward creating your own stand out application, no matter what timeline you’re working with

YOUR ACTION STEP

Reach out, ask for help, put yourself out there, keep yourself accountable, and help others as well.
