Read some of the comments we’ve received from prospective students:


You are so great. You are the best man I have met since I came to NY. I understand about your school's deadlines. I will send you paperwork in a few days.

Thank you so much for everything and always. But, I am not kidding. You are very capable because of your quick response and exact directions and so on. I understand that's why The French culinary has a good name and high reputation.


Thank you so much for the tour of the facility. Meeting everyone was great, and not being pressured was so nice. I feel like I'll fit in this school well. All financial aid was approved and I will fax Bernice the paperwork today. Thank you for making my first trip to NY city pleasant. Everyone was so helpful. The FCI is a great school because of people like you. Thank you so much.


It was such a pleasure to meet you yesterday.  I'd really like to thank you for the extremely informative and motivating tour of the institute.  It was so exciting.  I appreciate all the time you spent with me.  You are so easy to talk with, so informative, and supportive.  You are truly part of the team I referred to in our conversation that makes me feel so welcome and valued.

I look forward to speaking with you again very soon.  


I just wanted to thank you again for your generous hospitality during my audit and tour of your school last Tuesday. The FCI is wonderful. The other schools are going to have to be unbelievably amazing in order to compete with The FCI. Please convey my appreciation to Chef Tina, Chef Lauri, Chef Dianne, and Chef Jürgen. They were so kind to let me see what the pastry program is all about. I’ll keep in touch.


I can’t thank you enough for spending the morning with me on Wednesday. I enjoyed every aspect of my time at The FCI. I know that if I attend your school my education would be priceless and that is exactly what I am looking for. You made me feel so comfortable, and your kind words regarding my portfolio encouraged me more than you know. I so appreciate your patience and support as I mull over this big decision. Thank you for being the perfect host!


I wanted to take a moment to write you a quick note of appreciation for all of your phone calls, patience, generosity, and support throughout this process. Having a personal tour of the school and one on one time to ask questions and get to know the school and you was a great opportunity that I thank you for. You as well as the other few FCI staff members that I have met have truly given me the warmest of welcomes and make me proud (and gracious) to be a member of The FCI.  


Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with me a few weeks ago. I was very impressed by your facility and staff. I am really looking forward to becoming a part of The FCI. Having a chance to see the school first hand made me confident that The FCI is where the best of the best attend. Thanks for your hospitality.


I just wanted to thank you for your time and efforts in giving me the tour of The FCI. Seeing the spectacular facilities in person has affirmed my decision to attend the Institute. 





 
          Be curious, be generous (and be on time!). When you put your whole spirit into your work, you will find true happiness.
