Greetings, Mr. Rogers
I am quite pleased to learn of your continuing interest in the program. I wish you the very best in your renewed efforts to improve your application profile. If you have not already done so, I would recommend that you explore with GMAC the options they might offer to assist you in addressing the demands of your disability during the exam experience. As for a meeting with me - that is certainly possible, but I would ask you delay your visit till sometime later this summer. As you might expect, this is a very busy time for the TEXASMBA admissions staff -- and much of my focus and energies will be elsewhere for the rest of this spring.

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
