<p>Is it ever too late?</p>

2

<p>It likely will not do anything.</p>

3

<p>Why won’t it do anything?</p>

4

<p>The question is when did you get denied?</p>

5

<p>It was regular decision, so about 10 days ago.</p>

6

<p>

</p>

<p>Then the answer is about 10 days ago.</p>

<p>Hmm… You sure about that? Sources?</p>

<p>Penn received a total of 26,938 applications and accepted 3,830 (14.2%). They placed approx 3000 on the WL and you were among the ~ 21,000 students who were rejected.</p>

<p>What makes your case different than the other 20999?</p>

<p>I don’t mean to be cruel but appeals that might only be remotely successful will be based on mix-ups (wrong transcript) or something in that vein. What’s the basis of your appealing their decision?</p>

<p>But to your question at hand: I highly doubt anyone knows if there even is a cutoff for appeals. They are so unusual that you’re best off just going fwd ASAP.</p>

<p>i feel its so insincere and petty when colleges put that you cant appeal rejections in their rejection letters, cuz thats not the place to do it and i think its supposed to be obvious that you cant appeal</p>

<p>but then i see a thread like this. you cant appeal dude. take it and move on.</p>

<p>Sorry man, you have to move onwards. If you appeal, why not the other ten thousand kids who got rejected?</p>

11

<p>I didn’t even know UPenn allowed appeals…</p>

12

<p>The tribal counsel has spoken, you must leave the island</p>

13

<p>The school is going to accept from the waitlist first.</p>

14

<br>

<br>

<p>They don’t. </p>

<p>The high-end UCs, Berkeley and UCLA, are among the very few selective colleges that do allow appeals.</p>

15

<p>When you open the email.</p>

16

<p>It’s not worth it. Fall in love with another.</p>

17

<p>Most things in life you cant appeal. Just move on.</p>

18

<p>wow… it seems everyone just gives up…
Man, I ain’t a quitter. I won’t quit until someone stops me, and nothing is stopping me. </p>

<p>Thanks for the advice of quitting, but no thanks. I’ll take my chances beyond letters on a page and pray. Things happen for a reason, right?</p>

19

<p>The thing is, YOU CAN’T APPEAL. We’re not saying “It’s highly unlikely”, we’re saying that Penn doesn’t accept appeals, because they don’t.</p>

20

<p>You literally cannot appeal. I believe it says this on the rejection letters.</p>

<p>You can write a letter, but it will not be considered under any official appeal process (which to my knowledge does not exist).</p>
