<p>I was denied from Penn in the Early Decision applicant pool back in December. Its been a little over a month now and I still have fire left in me. Is there any way I could try for an appeal, even if there is no official process? If not, is there a way I can request to find out exactly why my application was denied? Would it be of use to get in touch/cry to/sleep with my regional admissions director? Some help would be greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Usually, the first stage is, "Sorry, we can’t tell each and every denied applicant the reason behind their decision. "</p>
<p>The next stage, which would probably involve your counselor, would probably be, “There was nothing wrong with your application; perhaps your SAT score was a tad low, but really, you weren’t rejected because you were not qualified; we just had too many applicants.”</p>
<p>
the first two: yea it’s useless
the third option: …lol…that might work</p>
<p>^what he said.</p>
<p>I think you would do well to move on. I know it’s easier said that done, but just think how many great colleges and universities are out there. You probably have other apps out, and you should be focusing on those and getting ready for another university. Remind yourself of your best qualities and things that you are proud of having done and feel sad that Penn was not able to recognize your talents because Penn is missing out. :)</p>
