<p>I am rejected by JHU. Is it possible to appeal to the admission office? coz I heard that there is formal appeal process for some colleges like Brown and Duke. Anyone know about it? Thanks for any input.</p>
<p>if you did that that would be ridiculous. They rejected you, get over it. All the big schools get more qualified applicants than they can admit so don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>yeah, i think the whole idea of appeals in general is dumb.</p>
<p>pick up a transfer app next year and good luck.</p>
<p>I you were admitted at other top schools, tell JHU and they’ll take you more seriously and possibly give you another look…</p>
<p>however, if you were rejected at ALL the top 20 schools you applied to, why should jhu care about you? they have hundreds on their waitlist…</p>
<p>thx for the replies… actually I have thought of transferring, but I heard that transferred students would lose many credits. And it is difficult to adapt to a new environment again especially when ppl don’t treat u like a freshman. It’s like students already form their own social circle and it is hard to get in the circles.</p>
<p>JHU accepts admission decision appeals. From their online admissions FAQ (<a href=“http://apply.jhu.edu/faqs/rdfresh.html#rd_deny):%5B/url%5D”>http://apply.jhu.edu/faqs/rdfresh.html#rd_deny):</a>
</p>
<p>go to the College Board website. they have all the transfer statistics. you can’t plan on getting into any prestigious college on transfer!</p>
<p>dont let some of these people phase you… i think if you are really that keen, then you should appeal. there is no harm in trying. how much can they really know about a person from their app?</p>
<p>yeah, I agree. go for it. :)</p>
<p>thanks so much for the information and support, guys!!!</p>
