"I wanted to give you an end of cycle update. I had 9 interview invitations, attended 8 interviews, and had 4 acceptances. I really wanted to thank you for supporting me on this journey over the past 7 years. I always encouraged other pre-medical students to see you, because of how honest and direct you were. And your advice helped me have this great cycle! I am very grateful for all the support you gave me."
