<p>Has anyone appealed a denial to a school and had it accepted?
How hard is it on average to have it accepted?
And if you don't mind sharing what was your reason?</p>

<p>Just need help deciding if I should apply to a school if I'm 80% sure I'll get denied and have to appeal!</p>

<p>I wouldn’t count on appealing. I have never personally heard of someone successfully doing that. If you don’t think you’re going to get in just apply and see what happens.</p>

<p>@ TransferToIvy awe that’s a bummer to hear! :frowning: but ok thanks for your input!</p>

<p>Don’t apply with the mindset that you’ll be denied and need to appeal, in case it somehow comes across in your essays that you’re anticipating a rejection. If you’re qualified, just go for it! Don’t even worry about appealing until the time comes. :)</p>

<p>I’m .5 away GPA wise and 10 credits short from being qualified :frowning: I had to drive back and forth from school to take care of my mom when she got sick so I had to have a light school load and I didn’t exactly do great from the stress :frowning: and this school doesn’t offer a transfer essay from my research :(((</p>

<p>Should I write the appeal/personal statement with my application or just wait and see…?</p>

<p>I don’t think you’ll be accepted if you don’t have the credits. :frowning: Is there any way you can take another year to get the credits before applying to transfer? That way, you’d be able to raise your GPA and be a shoo-in. If cost is an issue, and you aren’t already at a CC, could you go to one to make up the credits, and reduce the cost to you?</p>

<p>I hope your mom’s doing better now!</p>

<p>I’m about to start this fall at my local CC I just can’t figure out how to change my username…lol. I wanted to apply for spring because after this fall semester I’d have the credits and gpa but they want me to have the gpa/credits when I apply which is annoying because I’ll have it when I started if I got in</p>

<p>Worse comes to worse I will most likely apply for fall 2013 I just wanted to get out of my hometown and establish residency in Georgia! And take summer school there</p>
