Testimonial:  I'm grateful for the personalized attention I received from my RFDF mentors while I was applying to Harvard Business School.  They spent a very substantial amount of their time sharing application advice and reviewing my essays.  I may not have gotten into Harvard Business School without their help.  And an RFDF mentor continued to follow-up with and counsel me while I was in the MBA program and is supportive post-graduation.
