I know I've said this several times, but I can't tell you how much I appreciate all of the time you spent with me. As valuable as it was to actually work on the essays and applications, the reflection you asked me to do upon my goals and my career thus far has given me far more clarity headed into the MBA experience than I would have had otherwise. I believe this will be invaluable as I take the next step in my career.
