| I remember reading an article about the admissions process in the University of Chicago, and Dean of Admissions Ted O'Neill said that every year they have parents call them and tell them how much of a mistake they made, and when the parents tell them how great their children are, Ted thinks to himself, "Well, there's nothing wrong with this student. I don't know how I could have rejected him." But once he's rejected, it's basically over. If they were still considering him, I guess they would have put him on the waitlist. I don't know how to put it any other way.
If you do decide to appeal, try to reach them as much as they can.
