It depends on the school. Is it a CA public uni? They have a process. For many schools, if your child didn’t get in, it could be for reasons you’ll never know, especially if the school uses holistic admissions. You can only appeal if the college actually allows students to do so.

For the most part, appeals are unsuccessful unless there was something significant missing from your original app (a rec letter wasn’t submitted, or there was a technical snafu submitting something that was required by you or the school, etc…), or maybe ACT or College Board messed up something on their end.

You’ll need a compelling reason to appeal, so it depends on how strong your child feels their case might be. Without a compelling reason, it’s a waste of time.
