I mean that it is quite difficult to get in by appeal… Around 10% or so… but most of the people I know got in because they showed new information. THe other 90% likely didn’t have anything new or compelling to say which is why they didn’t get in through appeal. For example my cousin didn’t include in his PS that he had to care for his grandmother, help run errands at his dads business, how he just won an NBC award and stuff. So yes there are many applicants who appeal, but the rate is low because only a small percentage actually have something compelling to say. Being desperate might not get you in, but wanting to go badly, having persistence and new information likely will.
