Your help was really invaluable

Sandy,

I wanted to drop you a quick note to say thanks for your help this fall with my Stanford essays.

It was a long and painful process but one that eventually paid off. I think X [guy at left, her BF] told you I got into Stanford and Harvard. I am really excited. I’m going to visit both schools for Admit Weekend in the next month.

Also, wanted to send you a copy of both my Stanford essays. Your help was really invaluable and I think you’ll see a lot of it reflected in both essays. Unbelievable that I would think this (given I started writing in July), but I wish I had had more time to work on them.
