College Appeal Case Studies

Decent Essays
I would like to appeal this decision so I could be an undergraduate of UTA. I'm aware that my test scores don't qualify for admission, but I am willing to take a certain amount of classes. I understand that test scores are important for college academics, but overall, test scores are not a good reflection of my academics. Positivity, creativity, and problem-solving skills are just a few of my academic strengths. The goals I have for UTA are being 100 percent committed to school work and not have any distractions in my way. College is a fresh beginning into the real world and I'm willing to start strong with no mistakes. The base of my appeal is even though my scores don't qualify, I'm willing to take a limited amount of classes at UTA.
