<p>It is my understanding that I would be fine writing a 2-3 page appeal (single-spaced, approx. 1,500 words), especially if not including rec's. What say ye? Is there anyone here who wrote more than a 1 page appeal? And was accepted? Please, your input is invaluable as I keep getting mixed messages from those editing/reviewing my letter. Thanks, guys.</p>
<p>Peace.

<p>I think its smart to write one page and only one page. Keep it short, concise and to the point. Sound professional and confident, yet humble.</p>
<p>ditto on bluearrowil’s advice. the actual body of my appeal is 933 words. it takes up about 1.5 pages due to formatting.</p>
<p>2 pages is generally going to be the max. The idea is to give them a synopsis of what they were not given a chance to consider. New and relevant, substantial, information. Should not take more than two pages if you write clear and concise. Include supporting docs to your reasons.</p>
<p>After reading through it several times, intending to shorten it, you will see where you can cut out and re-word to make it better. Good luck to all appealing.</p>
<p>I made my appeal letter strictly one page. It is supposed to be in the block letter format which is three paragraphs which fit on one page. It looks MUCH more professional that way. Also think about it like this. Whoever gets your appeal is going to be hesitant to read it already seeing how we all already got declined. Would you be more willing/happy reading a one page thing or some daunting three page essay. Just some suggestions.</p>
<p>With formatting, my appeal was about 1.5 pages long too, but my body was roughly 730 words. </p>
<p>I started off with the death of two of my family members, to the extent where it was just factual / explained how it affected my academics. I then went on to tell them what I learned and grew from it…I applied as an ME.</p>
<p>Are there any statistics about appeals from the recent years? I only found them for 2003 when they received about 500 transfer appeals.</p>
<p>Two is the max. </p>
<p>Contrary to what anth8541 said, the Transfer Appeals Committee is not hesitant to read your appeal unless you do not bring up any significant and new information. I mean, its their job, if they didn’t want to do it, they shouldn’t have signed up for it.

<p>Good luck to all! [:</p>
