Stats for Rejected People Wanting to Appeal

<p>USC said that last year they only took 19 of 659 appeals, which doesn’t sound too good for us planning to appeal.</p>

<p>So I wanted to know some of the stats of people who plan on appealing to kind of get a feeling of who got rejected and maybe we can find the weaknesses in our applications together?</p>

<p>Here are my stats:</p>
