<p>Does an appeal often lead to reconsideration if there is a documentable error? I overheard a conversation today at D2’s school in which two students with almost identical names in the same grade had documents mixed up in connection with something else. Now, I know these boys and they’re very, very different but you’d have to look very closely to see the tiny difference in their names. If portions of one applicant’s application is mixed up with portions of another’s would that be grounds for an appeal that might lead to reconsideration? I’m just asking for nosy reasons because when I heard about the prior mix-up it made my blood run cold!</p>
