The committee will review the original application, the admission committee notes, and the written appeal. The committee may request a phone interview but does not conduct in-person appeals. All appeal decisions are final. Denial of an appeal does not have implications for admissions decisions in subsequent applications. The GPC or their designee will communicate the final decision to the appellant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Submit a written appeal within two weeks of the denial for admission. Should an appeal be granted it may or may not be for the quarter and year for which the applicant originally applied.
