I would carefully read the outlined reasons an appeal is considered and if your applicant doesn’t qualify to appeal, don’t. There’s something to be said for accepting a ‘no’ with grace, even if it’s hard and seems unfair. College admissions is a mess right now, with students getting into places they may not have a few years ago and others not getting into places they certainly would have a few years ago. It is what it is. My DD was rejected by UVA but accepted to Wellesley. We have a friend whose DD was rejected by UVA but accepted to Cornell. None of it makes sense. Teach your DD what it looks like to accept ‘no’ with grace and dignity and begin considering other schools.
