<p>hey i just got denied admission to rutgers pharmacy and i was wondering if i could appeal my decision. i just foudn out today and i was pretty much speechless. a few ppl in my school got in around the same grades and a couple times had even lower stats and still managed to get in somehow a couple of months ago. </p>

<p>Im an asian male from NJ (instate obviously) with a 3.952/5.4 with ranking inside the top 25%. i got 2090 on my sats 760M 630V 700W and 740 on 2C and 750 on US history. i got 212 on my PSAT so i got commended or w/e. i've taken a 18/20 honors/AP courses in my high school and our high school is really competitive. this year we sent about 8 kid to ivies out of a class of 286. you could probably find threads of me last year posting about my chances in the chances column so im not gonna overdo anything. im really confused and at the same time extremely disappointed. everyone including my guidance counselor said i was a solid candidate when i applied back in september. its been a long 5 months but today i finally got rejected. i dont want to sound arrogant but i honestly thought i was going to get in. </p>

<p>based on my situation and knowledge of rutgers pharm, do you guys think that i could have a shot at an appeal if they have an appeals process? PLEASE do not hesitate to post your opinions and DONT be afraid to be brutally honest! any help would be greatly appreciated thanks so much!!</p>

<p>Frankly, I don't think that it could hurt you, particularly if it's your first-choice school. I mean, they've already rejected you. What's the worst they could do, black-list you from ever going to grad school there?</p>

<p>Why don't you call them up and ask if it would be possible to have a specific evaluation of your application done? (As in, to get feedback?)</p>

<p>You could even frame it as a question as to being admitted as a transfer in a year. </p>

<p>Since your stats are so good, I could see it as having been a yield issue, as in, they might not have imagined that it was your first choice, particularly if nothing in your essay or application explicitly stated that it was.</p>
