Did you know schools allowed reconsideration letters? Comment below!

Yes! I was aware that only a few univ. and schools offer the option to write a reconsideration letter.. I recently got a rejection from TUHH, Hamburg, Germany for a master's program and i'm looking forward to write a reconsideration letter. However, i'm not sure how to go about it... do i need to send it physically or upload it online... what should be the structure of the letter etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Hi! My niece is a recent grad from the University of California Irvine where she formerly was in contention for class honors. She narrowly missed it though. Now, she plans on taking a gap year in order to prepare financially for medicine. My question is would it negatively impact her application and would you be able to recommend a school/s where she can apply for a scholarship? Her dad served in the Navy and is a veteran of wars, discharged for medical reasons. Thanks in advance for your inputs :)

A gap year can make a student competitive, depending on how they use their time. Check out our articles: thescholarshipsystem.com/blog-for-students-families/what-you-need-to-know-about-taking-a-gap-year/

Is two-page appeal letter too much or two less?

[@TheScholarshipSystem]

It depends. Some schools have limitations on the length of the letter you can submit. If your school doesn't, then just look to make sure that it covers everything you need it to - you want it to have enough details to support your case.

Since financial aid officers manage a lot of students and inquiries, the more concise, the better.
