Are you an aspiring leader?

I truly believe that my interactions with all of you not only provided a foundation for the application creation, but also, and more importantly, structured a platform for MY life at business school and beyond. I’m geared up for the next two years in large part because I was able to relate through my application and interviews who I am and what I hope to become. Thank you all for a phenomenal experience and I hope we continue to stay in touch into the future.”

I can’t thank you enough for all of your help throughout this process. Thank you for pushing me and for supporting me – I couldn’t have done it without you. While the process was certainly not easy, I really enjoyed working with you and getting to know you so well. You were an incredible coach and at times therapist. ☺ I am very excited for this next chapter and hope to stay in touch.”

Very happy to share that I was accepted to HBS and to Stanford GSB! I’m going to take the day to enjoy this accomplishment before turning to the decision now at hand! What a journey! Many thanks for being my “sherpa” as we navigated the business school application mountain together.”

This thank you letter is overdue, but in such a weird year (of the pandemic), the extra time of letting the Stanford news of acceptance sink in has really underscored what an anchor and a bright light of focus, hope, and teamwork our weekly calls were. You quickly became so much more of a life advisor to me than an application advisor in what was a really transitional year for me with a new job and international assignment. I felt so prepared by you, and to have your positivity in my corner was a tremendous gift that frankly got me through. What an honor to get the great news of my Stanford acceptance, and a new life trajectory with the GSB – a pipe dream I really did not think was possible.”

2020 wasn’t easy for enough reasons already, but you have made mine so incredibly easier. I don’t think I could have gotten through applications without your unwavering support and encouragement. Regardless of the outcome, I can’t thank you enough for everything.”

I wanted to thank you again for the advice you’ve given me over the past four years (that we’ve worked together to develop and strengthen my business school candidacy). I cannot express how excited I am to be studying at a place like MIT Sloan. My applications were far better and my interviews went smoother as a result of your guidance, so thank you. I hope to have the chance to meet you sometime in person.”

Thank you for helping me gain admission to my #1 choice MBA program: Columbia Business School! I am thrilled to be going there, and this opportunity is a dream come true.”

Thank you sincerely for your support and guidance throughout the year. Our work together meant more to me than an application to school. You encouraged me to look inside myself in a way that I think I deeply needed. Through our conversations and guided reflection, I became re-empowered in my life, my decisions, and my future. You once described my life as a mosaic – I can’t wait to add the next tile! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.”
