<p>Good lord too many people appeal due to personal reasons. I apologize for my lack of sympathy too many people write overly pitiable letters for grounds of appeal. To be appealed you must display at least adequate stats or above par such as good SAT/ACT scores or EC. You should still go on and send in your appeal in hopes that it leaves a lasting impression, but unless your a competitive applicant with good enough credentials, you have no chance. Which is why most rejections get overturned due to appeal not because of the appeal itself, but rather due to the mention of transcript errors (if you have any transcript errors you should mention that also).</p>
