"We’ll help you every step of the way"
I want to thank Elizabeth and Leslie for always being there for me. Any time I needed assistance through the college application process, they never hesitated to immediately guide me. Elizabeth and Leslie are both expert mentors and facilitated this process significantly. Collectively, we spent hundreds of hours in this process throughout the summer and the first semester and not once did I encounter a situation where they were unavailable or reluctant to help. Sincerely, I do not know what I would’ve done without their help. "Elizabeth and Leslie, you both supported my desire to attend Northwestern since the get go, regardless how much of a reach it was. Now I want to officially thank you both for helping me make my dream come true."
I would like to formally thank Elizabeth and Leslie for their immense help throughout my college application process. With a warm smile and a yes-we-can attitude, they provided a clear path to follow as well as the reassurance students are seeking. As a team, Elizabeth, Leslie and I spent countless hours looking into what my future might hold. Afternoon coffee turned into hours of hard work and what started off as a solely business relationship quickly evolved into a beautiful friendship. We were uncertain as to what my alma mater would be but both of you were with me every step of the way. Without your guidance and support I would not be where I am today. Thank you for believing in me and helping me become part of the Class of 2021 at Notre Dame.
Leslie and Elizabeth provided me with unconditional support and all of the necessary tools to succeed throughout this lengthy and challenging process. From filling out applications and documents to writing essays, they were always there happy to help and push me towards the completion of my goals. I want to personally thank them both for always being available and giving me valuable tips that in the end were critical to my success.
