<p>Penguin, I am sure you will have many good options with those stats. I am not sure why you wouldn't have gotten in, but admissions is just weird sometimes. If you think about transferring in the future, let me know. If not, I am sure you will end up at a very good school and this will be ND's loss.</p>

<p>You can appeal, and I have known a few who have done it, but it is almost never successful. If you have a 1500 and are top 3% of your class or something like that then it may be worth a try. Otherwise, it probably isn't, but it is up to you. I personally decided not to appeal my rejection.</p>
<p>Transferring is always an option...and it apparently is my mantra as well. Never lose hope :)</p>
