<p>Has anyone here ever successfully appealed a rejection?</p>
<p>If so, what steps did you take? If you sent any additional letters, what did you write about?</p>
<p>I recently got rejected UVA as a transfer applicant for the spring 2006 semester...</p>
<p>Oh, no, I am sorry to hear that... you had such great stats, too!</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>thanks for the comfort andrew.</p>
<p>Have you received your WM packet yet?</p>
<p>I'm writing a rough draft of an appeal letter now. </p>
<p>I would greatly appreciate if any of you guys could take some time to review it and add any suggestions and/or comments.</p>
<p>I'm thinking about adding the following in an overnight express mail package:</p>
<ul>
<li>One page letter explaining why I am appealing.</li>
<li>Resume</li>
</ul>
<p>or just send the aforementioned items via email.</p>
<p>I have email correspondence with the transfer admissions dean and I have also met with him to discuss the transfer admissions process. Would it be better to email him directly or to send a general letter package addressed to the adcom at the undergrad office?</p>
<p>Nope, nothing. Apparently, the man who I spoke with on the phone was incorrect in saying that the packets would be mailed this week. I looked on-line and it says that they will be mailed December 5th for transfers; November 28th was for ED. Ehhh.</p>
<p>So, the wait continues, apparently.</p>
<p>Good luck with the rest of your colleges :)</p>
<p>AS.</p>
<p>dec 5th seems too far away....</p>
<p>can any of you guys please review my appeals letter?</p>
<p>If you are at UPenn, why do you want to transfer to UVa. I looked through your old posts and didnt see a reason. I would look over your appeal letter but I am not sure how much help I would be.</p>
<p>i'm in-state at so it would be much cheaper for me to attend UVA rather than UPENN</p>
<p>humm</p>
<p>i sent the appeal letter (via email) a few minutes ago...</p>
<p>there is no way u got into Penn already, penn doesn't let ppl transfer into the spring time</p>
<p>LOL...</p>
<p>To end people not believing jaek99 about his admission: <a href="http://www.sas.upenn.edu/CGS/undergraduate/admissions.php%5B/url%5D">http://www.sas.upenn.edu/CGS/undergraduate/admissions.php</a></p>
<p>I'd be happy to look at your letter if you still need someone else.</p>
<p>thanks for the offer but i sent the letter yesterday to the dean of transfer admissions at uva - i haven't heard back yet</p>
<p>I guess theres no hope for me then.</p>
<p>rejected successfully appealed! - thanks guys for the support</p>
<p>"rejected successfully appealed! - thanks guys for the support"</p>
<p>Wait, does that mean YOU ARE IN?!</p>
<p>yea! i just got a reply back to my appeal email this morning. I'm in for the spring 2006 term :)</p>
<p>Hey, congrats.</p>
<p>Congrats! Can you send us your appeal letter so we know what works?</p>
<p>just make sure to write valid reasons.</p>
<p>My current semester grades are 4.0. - this brings my gpa at the time of application of 3.66 to 3.8. I discussed my upward grade trend and that, although my high school grades were poor, I graduated from high school nearly a decade ago and have since changed my academic drive and outlook.</p>
<p>In addition, i discussed how important the financial aspects of attending an instate universty was to me.</p>
