Chances of appealing rejections at Ivies?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hello CC :-) I'm a senior who only applied to Ivies. With my numbers I'm going to get rejected (3.4 GPA unweighted from 9-11, all B's first semester senior year, but applied to all Ivies). The rest of my application is good though (2380 SAT, great extracurriculars but not enough to make up for a 3.4, great recs, dedicated passion I talked about in my essays). </p>

<p>My GPA is basically the one largest factor keeping me out of my dream school (Stanford) and basically any other school I applied to. I'm not asking about my chances of getting in. I know I'm most likely getting rejected. I'm asking:</p>

<p>(1) If I get straight A's second semester, is it possible for me to appeal?
(2) What are my chances then?
(3) Which Ivies accept appeals? I can't find them anywhere on their websites.</p>

<p>I dont think there is anything like appeals. Though you can surely transfer after joining some other uni</p>

<p>You can ask. But there are no appeals processes and the likelihood of them going over your application material is just about zilch. When there are outright mistakes, is the only time something like this is reviewed, from what I have seen, and even then, it’s usually, a “try again next year”, something to consider. I frankly don’t think the great grades last term will make any difference. Too many kids with those same great grades that were able to do it for all four years. But you can always ask.</p>
