<p>A few weeks ago I mailed a letter of appeal for admission to my top choice. I sent an updated transcript and a letter of recommendation along with it, if that's important. I haven't heard anything and I sent it the first week of February. Should I send an email to admissions asking about it? If so, how should I put it? I don't want to come off as too pushy.</p>
<p>Did they know its coming? Do they actually do appeals or are you just hoping they’ll reconsider?</p>
<p>I didn’t tell them it was coming and I’m not sure if they do appeals. My gc was supposed to help and talk to the admissions office about their policy before I sent it out but she forgot during school vacation. I sent the appeal anyway because of time.</p>
<p>The same thing happened to me, and when I didn’t hear anything back a week later, I sent another e-mail to the dean of admissions, coordinator of the department, and the general admissions office. I told them that I know they’re probably really busy, and that I don’t want to be pushy, but I’m not going to give up. And if my only option is to re-apply for next year, would they please let me know what I can improve. And I didn’t get an appeal, but they did let me submit a late application to a program they thought I was better suited for. Which I think is actually better than an appeal, because I was able re-do everything and add a lot more to my application. So my advice would be to e-mail them again, try to be very sincere, and also try to include extra info about yourself that they couldn’t really get from your essays etc. Also, don’t forget to thank them profusely for their time/consideration, and apologize a bunch of times for “bothering” them :). </p>
<p>If they have already rejected you, go for it, you have nothing to loose. If you are still “in-limbo” don’t contact them.</p>
