Are you an aspiring leader?

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 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 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.”

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 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 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.”

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 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.”
