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 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 so much for your support throughout the business school application process, and for helping me achieve my dream. I cannot thank you enough for your guidance and for the care you brought to each of our conversations. I enjoyed being able to think introspectively about my values and life goals alongside you. Your words of encouragement will continue to stick with me as I go through school and my career.”

Thank you so much for all your help this year, as you helped me reflect internally on the type of person I want to become. That process not only helped me with my applications, but will also influence my decisions for the rest of my life.”

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.)”

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 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.”

I know I’ve said this many times before but truly, thank you for all your coaching, support, and mentorship over the last 1.5 years. I’m so glad my friend introduced us, and working with you has really changed how I view myself. I know things are so unpredictable, but down the road, if you’re ever in Palo Alto, would love to meet you in person.”
