<p>Hey- I know that this sounds a bit desperate, but do any of u guys know if someone can appeal to a private schools decision?</p>
<p>I applied to Andover, and Middlesex and got rejected at Andover, waitlisted at Middlesex.</p>
<p>I'd do anything that I could to get another chance for Andover...
Can I at least find out WHY I got rejected?</p>
<p>I was thinking the EXACT same thing today. I want to appeal my decision and just gush about how much I NEED to go to their school, and if not, at least tell me why I got rejected so I can improve for next year.</p>
<p>I called SPS and asked if all decisions were final, and they said yes, but I didn't exactly say that I wanted to appeal my decision.</p>
<p>I'll call my other schools tomorrow.</p>
<p>Did you get waitlisted at least?</p>
<p>I just got flat out rejected at Andover.</p>
<p>I dont know whether I should call them...</p>
<p>yeah, i would try to appeal</p>
<p>Did you get rejected today? Are you international?</p>
<p>I got rejected by St. Paul's, Groton, and Taft. I'm expecting that Andover did the same.</p>
<p>as far as i know there isn't an "appeal", sorry. if you're on the waitlist, you are already the kids the admissions officers would choose, y'know? they ranked all the applicants, and X amount got in, and Y amount are on the waitlist. if you didn't make either cut, i don't think there is anything to do. Sorry. :(</p>
<p>i got rejectede at lawrenceville, im not international though</p>
<p>Do u guys think that I should call them up and ask to appeal their decisions...???</p>
<p>Do u think that it would help to make a huge fuss, and have my parents make a huge fuzz, and go crazy over the appeal and stuff?...</p>
<p>seriously.. i NEED to go to andover...</p>
<p>me too, but i havnt gotten a decision yet</p>
<p>I'm sorry, but you really shouldn't. What grade are you in? Just reapply next year. And you don't "need," them, if they don't appreciate you that's their problem. If you call and make a huge fuss it'll just really annoy them (imagine how many other people are doing that), and probably lower your chances if you do reapply.</p>
<ol>
<li>nope</li>
<li>nope - it would hurt not help. No school wants a high maintenance family.</li>
<li>I know you WANT to go to Andover but you don't NEED to. I am certain you can be quite successful in life without Andover!</li>
</ol>
<p>im applying for ninth grade now.. but ive heard that tenth is even harder...</p>
<p>no offense Sofi, but i doubt that there going to write down "this kid applied in 2008, and make a big fuss about an appeal. If he applies again, reject him.</p>
<p>I dont know... Im just wondering whether I should appeal... </p>
<p>is there ANYTHING i can do NOW, to maybe have them reconsider their decision?</p>
<p>If you make a big enough fuss, they'll might...But you're probably right. Doesn't hurt to be careful though, and since appealing probably won't help you, why risk it?</p>
<p>if you were on the waitlist, sure, I'd say pursue it, let them know you are interested. Given you were rejected, it's best to move on.</p>
<p>yeah... ur probably right...
i just can let go of the fact that im not going to andover......</p>
<p>I **NEED **TO GO!!!</p>
<p>where will you go?</p>
<p>i have no clue at this point...
