The appeal is meant to bring compelling new information to the admissions committee. Imagine a committee convened to consider any oversights or new additional information to an application. You will want to have some help organizing the presention so that it is easy for them to digest, and easy for them to say “yes”. If you can make the case that you have the ability to be accepted to schools that have higher incoming-student statistics, but need to come to Davis for medical reasons, that may be a compelling story for the admissions committee. This will give credibility to the “medical” reason and decouple it from looking like a desperate ‘grab’ to gain acceptance through pity.

I could be a 5 slide powerpoint, a 2 page document, or an email (for example- not literal on page counts, etc.). Just be sure it is well organized, tight, and has a logical and persuasive flow.

Just my perception and opinion- I have absolutely NO authority to be the arbiter of what is the right way to appeal. I offer my advice up for free. It is worth at least what you paid for it.
