<p>Son was rejected by University of Puttsburgh engineering school and he also sent an appeal letter. The letter was much more personal than yours JKID. S had a poor freshman year due to family issues and he plainly stated in the letter. He also explained that once these problems were dealt with he was able to achieve to his fullest potential. We sent an updated transcripts with a 3.9 average for the 7th semester. It is a definite long shot to win an appeal but give it your best shot</p>
