<p>okay so i was rejected for Computer Engineering with a 1980 sat score. i had sent y 2170 score in later and it was most likely not considered in making the decision. i have now appealed and have requested to be considered for Mathematics and Computer Science. So basically how likely is it for an appeal to be accepted?? how many do they accept every year from the people who appeal??</p>
<p>Bumping this, i ssly need some replies…</p>
<p>Unless you have an extenuating circumstance, like a death of a parent, it’s not likely, unfortunately. </p>
<p>One thing you could do is appeal to be admitted under the “undeclared” option and then just work your way into the major. Kids at my school do it all the time for U of I (I have no idea if it will work though for a rejection)</p>
<p>when i got rejected, they said they had considered my for division of general studies, and they said one reason i could chose to appeal was if i wanted to be considered for a different major, so i chose to be considered for math and comp science. but my question is, how many ppl get accepted after appealing??</p>
<p>Have you taken computers in high school? I think you should apply for generalstudies or for another major not related to computers at all as if you were rejected from computers there is little chance of getting accepted for another computer related major. Try something like mechanical or electrical. On the other hand if you have already taken computers and have taken part in competitions then computers makes sense as they will see you have a passion for it and are not just doing it because it is the in thing.</p>
<p>At many other schools, only a select few receive admission from the appeals process and that was because of extenuating circumstances like I said earlier. While I don’t know the exact number, you shouldn’t put all your heart and soul into an appeals process because you will most likely be disappointed.</p>
<p>@geologyrocks your right. I would say he should just forget the appeal and move on. All he has to show us a higher sat score and colleges seldom reject someone only on sat score. But he seems determined to appeal and there is not much we can say to change his mind. Sorry if I sound mean but it’s the truth.</p>
<p>Did you apply anywhere else/been accepted anywhere else?</p>
<p>He has been given admission to Purdue.</p>
<p>Personally, I wouldn’t waste my time with a denial or even a wait list if I was accepted anywhere else. I’d rather look at my options of places that actually want me instead of trying to force them to want me.</p>
