Dear Ben:
I am very disappointed to learn that you will be unable to join our energy finance program next fall. However, I'm pleased that you are willing to keep trying. I suggest that if possible, you take an MBA level finance class at U of Houston this summer. If you can get an A in the class, I will personally argue your case to the admissions Dean. I was also told that your chances of getting in would improve considerably if you raise your GMAT over 500. Its clearly a long shot, but we should still try to get you into the program next fall. Let me know how things are going. regards, Sheridan At 06:04 PM 3/21/00 -0600, you wrote: < <Professor Titman: < I would like to thank you for taking the time to recommend me to the <MBA Program.
