<p>I don't know much about the appeal process. Never really researched it. Can you even appeal? How would one go about doing it? I haven't received a decision yet, but I want to be prepared. What are the chances of getting in after appeal? Does anybody have statistics?</p>

<p>If you get rejected, they give you a nice FAQ sheet with instructions.</p>

<p>The only person I know that got in on an appeal is a legacy. It's definitely possible, but not very common.</p>

<p>Both my parents are alumni :) so far so good. I know chances are low, but i'm strongly considering appealing IF i get rejected.</p>

<p>if you actually do get submitted by appeal, what happens to the other college that you committed to? (deadlines to commit are all around may 1st)</p>

<p>you will have to commit to them initially but if you won the appeal you can withdraw you admission to the other university and enroll at USC....</p>
