I have been CAP at the University of Texas, however I would rather appeal to get into UT Austin. This is my first appeal letter. I don't know what would be wanted. I wrote about why I like UT and new honors I have received. I have a slightly above average sat score but a par gpa. However I dont know whether I should focus on the positives or explain why my gpa is low. Also, I go to a very very competitive school. So what should I write about. I wrote a rough draft but I dont know how good it is. Please Help because I really need to get into this school. I have been rejected from all of the other ones and might end up at Community College. PLEASE HELP!
To whom it may concern:
First I would like to thank you for reevaluating my application. I have recently applied to the Cockrell School of Engineering and have been denied. However, I have written this application in order to become a student at your university. The University of Texas has been my dream school ever since I was seven years old. I remember my father holding me high on his shoulders as we watched the Texas Longhorn defeat the Houston Cougars in a football game; the stadium rumbled, the Longhorns cheered and I found a family. My aspirations were reconfirmed when I had the opportunity to participate in the Women in Engineering program and the Honors Colloquium during the past summer. While walking around the campus I noticed flyers for tutoring, it showed me that at the University of Texas at Austin we all believe in the success of our peers. I also received a plastic reusable water bottle which was part of a campaign to rid the campus of disposable plastic water bottles; this showed that we believe in taking care of our planet. The University of Texas at Austin represents a balance of academic excellence and personal character, two values that I firmly believe in.
Excellence has always driven my education; I have strove to go beyond the "norm." This includes my ACT score, 30, and my SAT score, 2010. My SAT has earned me the honor of becoming a Venture Scholar; a program for underrepresented underprivileged high achievers. Also, I take some of the most challenging courses my school offers including, AP Literature, AP Calculus AB, and AP Physics.
I also strive to achieve outside of the classroom. This includes entering several essay and art contests. I have recently become a published author, by winning a short essay contest and having it published in a book through Creative Commons.
To conclude, I want to be a part of the University of Texas at Austin family. Not only will the University of Texas at Austin provide an environment for me to learn and grow in, but I can contribute to the community in a positive manner.
Thank you for your time.
