<p>Wow, I’m really sorry for you. ;_; Why was your admission withdrawn? Was it also because a document was sent late? If you want, I can send you my appeal letter, though I don’t know if it’ll be very useful.</p>
<p>Basically, in your appeal letter, you have to sound REALLY sorry (like, pathetically sorry) and, yes, you have to focus on providing a legitimate argument for your case. Don’t jam in too much fluff about your personal achievements or something. You have to do a thorough job in convincing the Appeals Committee that whatever went wrong was not (completely) your fault.</p>
<p>Although the appeal letter is crucial, I think what really got the committee’s attention was the “supporting document(s)” they asked for; in my case, that was a letter from my high school. I told my VP about my predicament and she said she’d write a letter for me explaining the unfortunate situation (it was pretty much my school’s fault, anyway…) to UCI. So… if you’re going to send in a second appeal (which I’m not sure you can do; call OARS first), then definitely try to snag some sort of apologetic letter from the staff at your high school. I honestly think that’s the only reason my appeal was accepted so quickly, since colleges don’t want to mess with you when you have the support of an official educational establishment.</p>
<p>No, it does not help your appeal case if you personally go to UCI. I only did that so my stuff would get there as soon as possible. I did try to get someone to talk to, but the OARS people wouldn’t let me, so all I was able to do was turn in my packet. |:</p>
