Freshman applicants who have been waitlisted or denied admission and have new information to present may request an appeal in writing.

Guidelines for Submitting an Appeal for Freshman Admission

• The appeal will only be accepted from the student, not from a parent or guardian.
• The appeal must be submitted within 30 days of receiving the notification of the original decision.

• The appeal must contain NEW information that was not included in the initial application. Examples of new information might include updated standardized test scores or a new transcript if it is determined that a teacher submitted an inaccurate grade. Additional letters of recommendation are not considered new information. Grades or test scores earned in the February/March time frame or later will not be considered.

  The appeals process is not a re-review process of the existing applicant file. Appeals will not be considered for applicants who are not submitting new information.

• The appeal should include an explanation of why the new information was not submitted originally.
• The Admissions Committee will notify you of its decision in writing.
• Appeals should be mailed to:
