Now I really want to buy you a beer

Sandy:

They took me sight unseen. [this was a while ago, when HBS did not interview everyone]. I guess those essays were SO brilliant that they felt they knew me intimately.  (By the way, I took the GMATs in ’96, so I think I was before this centering crap.)

I will keep you posted, and thanks again. I’m pretty sure this wouldn’t have happened if I’d used my first draft of essays.

Now I really want to buy you a beer. Keep me posted as your schedule opens up.
