Are you an aspiring leader?

I remember our initial meeting. I was terrified, daunted by the prospect of writing application essays. You made a profound impact on my life. Your mission has always been to identify the characteristics in your students and make them stand out. I hope you continue your work as long as possible. You are an amazing teacher and person. I feel extremely blessed to have worked with you.”

I want to sincerely thank you for believing in my candidacy and believing that I could do 7 applications in just one round and apply to my two dream schools. Thank you for the amazing work we did together over the past few months and for always being available for the many, many questions that I had.”

I hope you’re doing well! I realized I hadn’t given you final confirmation on my MBA decision, so I just wanted to let you know I’ll be attending HBS this fall! I’m super excited and really thankful to have worked with you on my application. Your helpful advice that was tailored to me throughout the process truly made a difference. (My company actually had a lot of applicants on waitlists this year.)”

Thank you for all of your incredible support in the MBA application process. I truly don’t think I could have had the results I did without you. And I certainly would not have had the same peace of mind. Throughout the process you were so thoughtful, precise, kind, and thorough. You are an amazing listener and were critical in helping me find and articulate my own voice.”

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.”

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.”

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.”

Thank you for all of your wonderful help, encouragement, support, and kicks in the rear end when I needed them! I am so thrilled to be heading off to HBS and I could not have done it without you. You truly went above and beyond for which I am incredibly appreciative.”
