<p>Well, I got the oh-so unexpected appeal rejection letter today. Can’t say as I had much thought of it going the other way, but you know there is always that flicker of hope. All in all, it really won’t make a lot of difference. She will either attend Alabama where she has a full tuition scholarship or UT, A&M or Rice (if we can figure out to pay for that!) We would get more from A&M if she had made it, but they have offered a partial scholarship already.</p>
<p>The letter seemed very generic, made no comments as to the specifics of her situation at all. So, not really even sure they made any attempt to reevaluate it. Kind’ve funny too in that I just called two days ago (Wednesday) and I was told that it was “still under review” but the letter is postmarked Monday. Are they so swamped in appeals that they can’t even tell which ones they have looked at? Doesn’t really make me feel confident that they are doing much other than checking off As and Bs on report cards.</p>
