Results!

Professor Titman:
I would like to thank you for taking the time to recommend me to the MBA
Program. In the end, the results were not favorable. I understand that it
is a competitive process, but I felt that with my work experiences,
recommendations, extrcurricular activities, etc., that this would help my
chances and possibly compensate my disability. After talking with you and
Professors Ronn, Brown and Jemison, I was sure that UT was the right place to
continue learning about energy-finance.
I am still sure that UT is the place for getting an excellent
graduate-level education, so I want you to know that I am going to do what
ever it takes to get in next year. I plan on taking a couple of graduate
level finance courses at the University of Houston this Summer and Fall to
demonstrate to the Admissions office that I can compete at this level. I also
plan on trying to retake the GMAT test. Due to my disability, this will be a
monumental task, but I am determined to prove to the Admissions committment
that I can do the work at The Texas University Graduate School of Business.
Also, I would like to continue our dialague regarding creating an
Energy-Finance Private Equity Fund at UT. I know that with my industry-wide
and investment banking contacts that I can help raise capital for the fund.
I am very interested in energy-finance and think that your idea is a very
good.
Thanks again for taking the time to listen and talk with me. It has been a
pleasure to meet with you and I hope we can continue to talk about energy and
finance in the future. Also, 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
