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.”

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 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 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.”

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.”

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.”

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.”
