<p>Earlier I applied to UT Austin, but I wasn't admitted but rather suggested to their CAP ...so i decided to write a letter of appeal, and yes, a lot has changed from my earlier application, if would read through it and offer any suggestions? Thank you sooo much!</p>
<p>To whom it may concern,
Though at first glance my previous application may have been deemed unworthy, or otherwise fallen short of your admission standards, my previously acquired aspiration to schooling at the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin has been made more evident by the additional information I have accumulated to add to my past application.
Primarily the rigor, and resulting grades, of my courses have dramatically changed. As seen on my current transcript you previously received from me, last semester I enrolled in 5 AP classes and 1 Pre-AP: Humanities, Psychology, English IV, Biology II, Government, and Pre-Calculus, because I was put on the A-Honor Roll I received the Award of Excellence from my principal and finished that semester with a perfect 4.0, which then propelled me into the top 10%(8.9%).
Needless to say my spontaneous ambition did not end there; simultaneously I excelled in many Band competitions, I became a District region 5A qualifier for a 3rd time, and then moved on to become and Area 5A qualifier, also because of the division 1 rating our brass sextet received, my ensemble and I became State qualifiers.
As an individual I have strive for the best, and I adamantly believe with perseverance anyone can accomplish anything. For example my primary aspiration has always been to someday work with NASA to build and develop the next generation of shielding for orbital and lunar habituation modules, my strong passion for engineering and my continuous perseverance, I believe would only be beneficious and act as a benefactor to your Engineering program.
I would ask that you take into consideration everything that I have outlined here and reconsider my admission into the Cockrell school of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.
Thank you, </p>
<p>if push comes to shove, you can just apply for the spring semester that way if this doesnt work you can still go their under the top10 law, im not sure if this appeal will work because they have probably filled up</p>
<p>but remember apply for spring and you will get in</p>
<p>yea their engineering program is just as good as UTs, its just they dont want to go to A&M, A&M is probably the only other Public school in Texas that is as good as texas</p>
<p>Yes, but who knows if UT reads through these forums. They might see that you’re getting ideas for your letter from other people. Not sure if it really matters, but it’s always better to be safe.</p>
<p>well it really doesnt, because he can just be smart and start in the Spring since he is top 10 now, he can easily go to summer schools in the summer and graduate in the fall</p>
<p>just go ahead an enjoy your extended vacation</p>
<p>The OP should be fine… they’re just reaching out for outside resources and help.</p>
<p>Anyways, I think your letter is great and a perfect example as what should be deemed for an appeal. Good luck, and be sure to let us know what happens!</p>
<p>The only thing I would suggest is to maybe add a coma after:
“Needless to say,”
“As an individual,” and
“For example,”</p>
<p>i mean UT already dislikes the top 10 rule? so why would they admit another they are just going to be like the new info wouldve been great if the deadline hadnt passed, just start in the SPRING lol</p>
<p>Hmm, thank you soo much help guys!
just so more questions
could i just transfer 2nd semester rather than “starting” in the spring? because i don’t like the idea of being behind 1 semester :(…on and Does my paper sound “fluffy” to you? or does it have too many big words?</p>
<p>Please i am completely welcome any other suggestions</p>
<p>no offense but this paper sounds CRAZY fluffy and some of the words make it look like you’re using them without really knowing what they mean. My bad if i’m wrong, but is beneficious even a word?</p>
<p>Hmm ok, because i was considering schooling at UT Dallas (their stats aren’t too bad) for fall semester and then transferring second semester…either way i will be schooling at UT Austin fall 2011, just seeing if i could get there a semester earlier haha</p>
<p>Wow, it does i tried just to go off the top of my head with this, but of course for some words i intentionally used its synonyms for effect. So “un-fluff” it? because i’ve heard my diction for the letter was good, and also heard it was unnecessary fluffy.</p>
<p>i wouldnt count on transferring, since you probably dont know what to expect, and UT Dallas isnt a bad school at all the average sat their is pretty good, UT Dallas is the second smartest after Ut Austin. </p>
<p>and what if you GPA is not high enough as a transfer? your safest route is to start in the spring, you can just catch up at community college transferring is a gamble</p>
<p>You are not eligible under the top ten law for automatic admission, as the law covers roughly 8% of applicants now. If you were eligible, they would legally obligated to accept you, but not for the semester you demand–they’d likely admit you for spring.</p>
