< It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday afternoon at the Columbia
< Business School information session. As you probably noticed through my
< enthusiasm, I really enjoy working in the energy-finance industry,
< especially with Enron. Working in this sector, at this time, has created
< many new opportunities. I am interested in talking with you to see if we
< can do some type of transaction with you guys. It sounds like you have a
< lot going in areas that we might be interested in. If you could send me a
< business proposal or summary of what your doing, that would be helpful.

< With regards to Columbia Business School, I applied last year and did
< not get in due to my GMAT score. I decided to take a graduate level
< finance class this summer, which I received an A. I am currently taking
< another graduate finance class this semester. I am also retaking the
GMAT,
< with the hopes of increasing my quantitative score.
< Last year, I was asked back for an interview, which I felt was a good
< sign. I heard from one of my recommenders that the only thing that I
< needed to improve on was my GMAT score. Recently, I wrote a brief letter
< to the Dean of Admissions, Linda Meehan, informing her of my recent
actions
< as well as my continued interest with Columbia. I hope that these actions
< will help me get into Columbia this year. My desire to go to Columbia,
< stems from their network, location, reputation and curriculum. Since
< growing up in Pelham, it would be nice to get back to New York for a
< little while.
< As you can see, my desire to go to Columbia is very strong. I hope
< this brief e-mail has provided some insight into what I'm doing to get
into
< Columbia. I hope we can meet for lunch sometime soon either up in the
< Woodlands or downtown. Again, thank you for your interest and I look
< forward to talking with you about Columbia and future energy transactions.
