Our Team

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.”

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 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 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 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 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.”

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.”

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.)”
