<p>Recently, I was rejected from U of Minnesota. The reason given is that I am weak in Mathematics. </p>
<p>Actually, I am an international transfer student and I got Straight A for Maths. However, I failed an offered Higher Mathematics class. In fact, that class was only for A student and taught the whole Calculus text book in one semester. I did not make it as I put all my effort in my final year project.</p>
<p>But how could the admission officer judge me that I am weak in Maths and reject me. They do not even ask me for Course Description and Course syllabus to evaluate.</p>
<p>Well, I do not know how I could write a winning appeal letter against admission decision.</p>
<p>Anyone has a successful story of appealing deny decision? Please advice me. Thanks much.</p>
<p>Sorry you’re going through that. Seems today, schools only want those who are picture perfect in every aspect of all classes. If you do bad in one subject, you’re out of luck. And that’s not right. We’re not paper dolls, cut from the same mold and are perfect. Yet if we want educations, and we’re not perfect… </p>
<p>it’s depressing. To get a degree should be a right of anyone and every one to get one. I would think as long as a school has your tuition, there ya go. The rest is up to you to pass or fail. It IS your future after all. </p>
<p>I think Jr Colleges are godsends because they accept everyone, and they are top notch schools; they give great educations and you do get degrees from them. Still, I can understand those who want to get into a upper scale school. If I was Yale worthy, bet your bottom dollar I’d be there. But I’m Jr. college worthy. I’m online school worthy. I’m still going to get my bachelors degree and will wear it and use it with pride no matter where I get it. </p>
<p>So keep your chin up and don’t give up.</p>
<p>my GPA is 3.8 and I am top 10% in my class. My final year project won a commendation award. </p>
<p>Everyone made a mistake once. It’s not fair that a black spot distracts the whole impression.</p>
<p>It also adversely affects when I go on my graduate study? So the dream of going to top school is over?
That indeed is depressing. very disheartening.</p>
