By now, many seniors have begun to hear back from their designated schools. Some have mixed results. For example, I’ve heard from quite a number of seniors who were offered CAP by UT Austin or PSA from Texas A&M in recent weeks. Others have been deferred or even placed on a waitlist by their applicant schools. These decisions are often disappointing, but they’re not always final.
Did you know that many schools have a decision appeal process? While it’s a longshot to obtain decision reversal, an appeal might be worth considering; there must typically be some extenuating circumstances or discrepancies that merit reconsideration. Other applicants might feel as though an appeal will help them fill some holes they might have left in their initial application. If you feel as though you’re in that boat, contact me to set up a consultation. We can discuss the reasons for appeal, best strategy to maximize your reconsideration effort, and properly submit via the school’s official process. Again, a reversal is unlikely, but you’ll be glad you tried should you be admitted, especially if it’s your first-choice “dream” school.
