<p>The Admissions Committee has reevaluated your application for admission. We have considered your appeal in light of your recent letter. We are sorry to inform you that the Admissions Committee must stand by its original decision.</p>
<p>We experienced an increase in applications to Syracuse University during this current year, and our candidates presented exceptionally impressive credentials. The combination of these factors made admission particularly competitive this year.</p>
<p>We wish you well in your college career and regret that we cannot offer you a place at Syracuse University.</p>
