Appeal transfer Forum

[Anonymous User]

Anyone heard of this working at Lower T1/T2? I think the school has erred. Definitely meet the transfer gpa by a long shot. School allows for appeal but under extreme circumstances if new info. is present. Don't have much new info. Should I give shot?

Any success stories?

Sounds like a waste of time. They're just going to tell you that it's a holistic process and GPA is only one part of the formula. But it's your time.

Even if they did make a mistake, unless they are hard up for students, it seems unlikely that they would admit to the mistake by changing their decision.

To be clear, you're trying to transfer into lower T1/T2? And the school advertises that it has an appeals process for transfers? Well, then - sure, why not? I'd think "new info" could include telling them that you got into

• , but really want to transfer to this school for compelling reasons and it's your first choice, etc. - if that's the case, sure, maybe it's worth a shot, though probably still pretty slim. Throw in any law review, moot court, etc. acceptances or CALIs, etc. that weren't in your original app.
  
  Also, just in case - I would absolutely not bring the attitude, "my GPA was higher than your 509 transfer GPA so I'm entitled to transfer" - first, that's not true, and second, you'll get better results by being deferential. Let us know how it turns out.

OP here. Failed in the process. Anyone
thinking of doing this PM and I can offer what I did and how to handle it. Just know, chances are slim to nothing.
