<p>Does anyone have some type of example appeals essay I could take a peep at? There really isn't that much more I feel I can say, as it has all been said before. However, I really do want to go to UW and feel that making this appeal to them is worth my time.</p>
<p>if youve said everything there is to say then theyve made their final decision. if theres nothing left to say how could it change anything?</p>
<p>Well I’m on the waitlist, so I’m not rejected outright. But an appeal obviously couldn’t hurt me. I guess what I’m more directly asking is, will this be the time to state facts exploring why I was obviously not exactly what they were looking for? Meaning, do I ditch the creativity that’s meant to be prevalent in the original essay and say “Hey, I got a C in math sophomore year, this is why…” People clearly try their best to state their case the first time around so it makes sense to feel, as I do, that they are lost for more reasons to admit. But appeals exist for a reason, and it isn’t so that you can half-ass it the first time and then give it your all a second time. I’ve overcome adversity that I didn’t intitally talk about because I didn’t want to sound petty, and perhaps now is the time to talk about that. Others have undoubtedly had it worse off than I.</p>
<p>shoulda just wrote the sob story. thats what i did and it worked for me haha.
3.7 and 24 act.</p>
<p>Just do it. I wouldn’t go for quirky or creative, personally. For your sake, I hope your “adversity” is something that legit qualifies as adversity. Otherwise you will indeed just sound petty.</p>
<p>I don’t know, I think it qualifies, especially when put into perspective. If anyone is interested, they can read what I have written.</p>
<p>okay honestly the adversity part of it doesnt really matter. my house could of burned down, my whole family assasinated, my right ear chopped off and having to walk with an oxygen tank, and the U could still care less. they dont care so much about what it is. they care about how you handled it, and how it makes you a better person than you were before it happened.</p>
