The appeal mechanism, as its name implies, is that when you get the rejected judgment, you still have a chance to turn over the case. You can express your dissatisfaction with the application result, appeal and give reasons why the university should admit you.
Clothing mechanism is different from waiting list. Waitlist, as a pending admission result, is on the gray edge of admission and rejection; Appeal only refers to the method that you have nothing to lose after all, and can only be adopted if your admission result has been rejected.
There are two kinds of results of the appeal: the appeal is accepted successfully, or the fate of the appeal is rejected. It should be noted that the tragic result of the failed appeal is 100% final judgment, which means a dead end.
▌: Do all universities accept appeals?
Not exactly. Complaining is not just as simple as calling the AO office and crying. The appeal has a formal process, corresponding methods and deadlines. However, the admission results given by general universities are very cautious, especially the decision to reject the letter will not be given easily, so the number of universities that accept rejection before applying is very limited.
At present, the top 50 universities in the United States that accept appeals are: UCB University of California at Berkeley, UCLA University at Los Angeles, UCSD University at San Diego, UCD University at Davis, UCSB University at Santa Barbara, UCI University at Irvine, UIUC University at Urbana-Champaign, USC University at Southern California and UW University at Washington.
How to appeal?
A.UCB university of California at Berkeley
A) Appeal channel: log on to MAP@Berkeley and login to pelling (new and convincing), which means that the appeal materials and the contents described in the appeal letter must be subjective and uncontrollable factors of the applicant. The higher the ranking, the stricter the control of Appell, because these universities have been very strict in reviewing the rejection results, so the materials that need universities to overturn this result must be convincing enough, and what objective and uncontrollable circumstances lead to unreasonable results in your application, so as to put forward Appell's requirements (such as personal difficulties during the application period, miscalculation of school grades, significant improvement of academic level and its proof, etc.). ).
So do you want to apply or not? Nothing more than depends on these two points:
1. Do you have a legitimate reason and suitable clothing materials?
2. Is this university your dream school? Are you willing to do anything for this?
