"The Admissions Committee has completed its review of your application for admission to the ISB. Despite your many merits as a candidate, I regret to inform you that we are not able to offer a place in the class beginning April 17, 2004.

Several members of our Committee carefully evaluated your application in the following areas: work
experience, career plans, academic, extracurricular and community involvement, leadership and
interpersonal skills. Decisions are based upon an evaluation of your individual strengths and
weaknesses, as well as your qualifications relative to those of our applicant pool.

Please note that this decision is not a reflection of your personal qualities and achievements or your
potential for success in management, but merely a reflection of the limited number of seats in the
class.

I certainly wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours, and thank you for your interest in the
ISB.

Sincerely,"
