Can you petition your rejection to a university?

<p>I was wondering if it was possible to petition my rejection to tufts. is that possible?</p>

<p>Unless you have some material mistake in your file, what basis should they consider your appeal? Most privates (Tufts included) say “all decisions final”.</p>

<p>Time to move on.</p>

<p>I am constantly amazed by the enduring popularity of the idea that you can appeal a college’s admissions decision.</p>

<p>As T26 said, if your credentials didn’t gain you admission the first time around, you’d have to add something completely spectacular to get a different answer on appeal. </p>

<p>Kids on CC frequently say something like, “If I tell them how much I want to go there…” That’s a waste of everybody’s time. Think about it: Tufts has already filled its entering class with students who really want to go there. So have Harvard and Vanderbilt and Northwestern and Stanford.</p>

<p>And Tufts, in particular, has already made it known on CC that they anticipate taking very few, if any, students from the wait list. (See the first post here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/tufts-university/899947-waitlisted-tufts.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/tufts-university/899947-waitlisted-tufts.html&lt;/a&gt;.) I can’t see why they’d be motivated to reverse an admissions decision.</p>

<p>Sorry to be so blunt, but I really do believe this idea is a complete non-starter.</p>
