Is this a good thank you letter for an MBA interview?

This is what I’m sending out.

Thank you very much for taking time from your busy trip to meet with me on Sunday. I truly enjoyed the opportunity to speak with you. The information you provided has furthered my interest in [school name] and reinforced my belief that it is the ideal program for me. I believe my employment and academic background, combined with my strong desire to develop in an international setting will allow me to bring a unique set of skills to the program, making me a valuable asset to the [school name] community. In light of the short amount of time of our meeting and the depth of my continued interest in the program, please feel free to contact me if I may be of any assistance in elaborating or clarifying any of your notes from our discussion.

I also wanted to follow-up with you in regards to the essay questions and see which one will not have to be answered due to our meeting.

Thanks again, I look forward to speaking with you in the future.

Regards,

This is an excellent letter.

My only suggestions:

Make another paragraph break before the sentence that starts “In light of . . . ”

I do not really understand your last sentence but that is probably because I do not know what you said in your interview.

There is a grammatical error in the last sentence which you will want to correct – “in regards to the essay” should be “in regard to the essay.” Also, “follow-up” used as an infinitive should be “follow up.” The hyphen is not used under these circumstances.

“due to our meeting” is not very good usage. I would say, “I also wanted to follow up with you in regard to the essay questions to determine which one was covered by our meeting and will not, therefore, need to be answered.”

Use a period or a semi-colon after “Thanks again” rather than a comma.

Best of luck to you! You sound like the kind of dedicated student a college or university would be glad to have.
