Dr. Harris:
I would like to thank you for personally taking the time to closely review
my application. Though I am disappointed with the results I am still
determined to attend The TEXAS Graduate School of Business next year. I
understand how competitive the process has become, but I felt that with my
work experiences, recommendations, personality, extracurricular activities,
etc. that this would compensate for my disability. After talking with
Professors Titman, Ronn, Brown and Jemison, I was sure that the School was
the right place to get the education I was looking for.
I am still certain that the School is the best place for getting a great
graduate-level education, so I want you to know that I am going to do
whatever it takes to get in next year. I plan on taking two or three
graduate level finance courses at the University of Houston this Summer and
Fall to demonstrate to the Admissions committee that I can compete at the
graduate level. I also plan on retaking the GMAT test. Due to my disability,
this will be a monumental task; but I am determined to prove to the Committee
that I can be successful at The TEXAS Graduate School of Business. I would
like to come down to Austin this spring to meet with you to further discuss
my application file and to personally meet you.
If you think of anything else I can do to strengthen my overall application
file for next year, please let me know. Take care and hope to hear from you
soon.

Sincerely,

Ben Rogers
