College Admission Appeal
In regards to my appeal I would like thank the opportunity you had to review my admission. I felt strongly in my case why I think there should be overturn in my admission decision. Many issues arose in my life. Some academic and some personal. I have dealt with a lot of issues in these recent years, I believe I found way to handle these outside issues and show that I can be a successful student and influence to your school.

My history in my grade school and high school tells that I am not a person bound to limitations academically. I have put effort in all my work to have good grades and to achieve high standards for myself. Coming to UW Milwaukee brought those same ideals of myself to the campus feeling I can make a positive influence.

I started off strong trying to understand a pattern for my classes and adjustment to my daily schedule like every other student has to do, but I struggled with my studying and time in my day with addition of work. I let myself get too distracted with work as I was worried about financial plans on paying of for school. I let myself be be overloaded in balancing a sleep, study time and personal care. Stress build-up with pressure in my work a attempted to make significant catch-ups in my academic work. These study habits and stress brought me in downfall in my grades. As I was seeing the fall in my grades I grew more worried on now fixing them. As the next semester was in affect I made strides in adjustments to fixing my patterns that kept me from being successful In my classes. With shorter work hours in a week, more hours for studying and additional meeting with my school advisor for academic help, stress and academic struggles still arose for me. This left my grades in very low and unacceptable G.P.A that I was not proud of at all and made me heavily think about changes that need to be done to turn myself back around to the successful student I know I still am.

Family issues emerged that I was not prepared for during my time at UW Milwaukee. My Father had received many medical issues involving his feet these issues were very serious do the impact it was effecting his health

    When I began my senior year of high school, I was tired and unmotivated and chose to give up and not put my full effort into all my school work. I was so excited, my last year of high school. I was always told since I was a freshman that your junior year would be the hardest and the most important because those are the grades that colleges will mostly be looking at and that your senior year would be the easiest because you're mostly taking electives and you only need to focus on you main courses such as economics and english to graduate. When I started school this year I put off all my homework till last minute, I was absent more than usual, my work was sloppy, and I wasn't really participating. I kept thinking that all I need is a 65 in…

    This letter is written in an attempt to appeal my academic suspension and grant me another chance to receive financial aid to allow me to continue my education towards my degree in nursing. On May 6, 2012 I faxed over my appeal to financial aid for the fall 2012 semester at Capital Community College which was denied.

The cause is no less than my own fault, but I believe the circumstances I faced led my focus away from my education.…

    Everyone wants good grades throughout their years in school, mainly in high school. I am more of a math and science person, other subjects like history and government. Topics like politics, the constitution, the United States Government, political parties and anything else having to do with Government class I had no interest in when I signed up for classes. I know this is something that I should be keeping up to date on because of the upcoming election and everything that changes with the government. The spring of my sophomore year I was looking for different classes to take, I saw AP Government. I thought I could do well in that class, I was motivated to learn something new and excel at something I was not very interested in. The first day of junior year came quickly. Then the first AP government test came even quicker. I studied the night before for hours thinking positive thoughts and finding funny ways to remember different answers. Going into the test I thought I was ready, but when I saw the test I froze. Thinking different thoughts like “When did we learn this?” or “Why did I take this class?”. I pushed all the negative thoughts to the side and completed the test to the best of my ability. The day we got our test back I looked down and about cried. I had never done that bad on a test.…

    I set a goal for myself, which was to improve my overall GPA each quarter. Slowly, but surely, I was getting better grades and boosting my GPA. Junior year was my best year academically. I set more academic goals for myself. I stayed on top of my work and in the end it paid off because I was able to exceed my goal. My GPA has increased vastly since the start of freshman year, but I silently thought to myself: “If I’ve made it this far academically, why not end high school with an even greater GPA?” I know I have the potential to increase my cumulative GPA to a 3.5, and I am currently striving to achieve this goal with high hopes. I learned very valuable lessons throughout my journey of high school. Not all mistakes made are necessarily bad. Many life lessons come from the mistakes we make. If you fall, get back up on your feet and go the extra mile because it will help you in the end to get to where you want to go. I now know why my parents and teachers instilled in me the concept of learning from your own mistakes. My mistake was taking freshman year lightly. Although it is too late to go back and redo the start of freshman year, all I can do is continue to put time and effort into my school work. I intend to focus on a smooth transition from high school into college, setting analogous goals for myself.…

    Always by my side and never out of reach, with piles of homework stacked in front of me, I steadily declined the use of time I spent on my goal. I convinced myself it was because of the lack of time and all the work, but I was lying to myself. I lied to myself and I believed it, I distracted myself from what was important and in turn destroyed my chance of accomplishment...once again. One more week and I would have completed my goal, but I procrastinated and not only gave up on the project, but in myself. I believe the problem lies in my ability to stay positive and engaged for a difficult problem throughout a long period of time and how I decide to manage it. If I want to have the satisfaction of fulfilling something in my life, I have to be able to believe that I can do so, and that I have it in me to endure and persist. If I have this optimistic outlook on the opportunities and chances ahead of me, the belief I have in myself will intensify and I’ll complete more challenges and goals. To improve this ability, I intend on continuing this goal in the future and accomplishing it, and hopefully it will be the last time. This project opened my eyes to just how much of myself needs improvement, and with this experience in mind I hope to set a path for myself to build myself up to be the best I can…

    The factors that contributed my poor academic performance include but are not limited to: procrastination, disorganization, and a lack of prioritization. Often, throughout the semester, I would put off major assignments until I no longer had any time left to do anything of quality. Another contributor to my performance was my lack of organization. Instead of filing my papers and assignments away neatly, they were left in no particular order or place. The last of my errors involved my lack of prioritization. Many times I chose have fun over completing important assignments. Other times, I chose to go to bed late and in turn over sleep. Recognizing these contributors will help prevent any reoccurrences of my recent performance.…

    This letter is written in an attempt to appeal my academic probation and allow me to receive financial aid so I can continue my college education. During 2007 and 2008 my grades were poor. The cause is no less than my own fault, but I believe the circumstances I faced led my focus away from my education. In the spring of 2007 my father suffered a heart attack. This event sent my world into a spiral. I continued school as best I could and helped my mother take care of my father. To help with the costs of the medical bills I took out a private student loan for much more than was needed to pay for school. I was also out of a job and living off savings and credit cards, which was a huge mistake. Beginning towards the end of 2007 my bills began to pile up and I was getting behind. I managed to get a part-time job to help pay for bills and was still trying to go to school, but as the bills mounted part-time work wasn't enough to keep me afloat. I had to start working full time. I tried to continue my schoolwork, but as time went on work took over my life and my education took a backseat. I didn't plan on quitting school, so I never withdrew from classes and I constantly told myself I would go to class, but it never happened. Now that I have stabilized myself somewhat I hope to take on a light, manageable course load and get my education back on track. I hope this letter can help convince you that I can and will manage myself better and keep my grades up. Any additional information can and will be provided if necessary. Thank you for your time and consideration.…

    This affected me not only academically but socially and athletically. The stress of the work isolated me from my peers and this caused them to complain to me in which I was pressured to work extra hard to complete my studies to make time for them. In addition to the weight of trying to pass and maintain a social life, I had to go to extensive hours of after school practices for my school’s water polo team. As part of the team, they relied on me to play my part and it made me feel burdened to practice harder to make up for my lack of good grades. Because of my naivety on how to balance a high school life, my anxiety was beginning to build. The next semester the pace got faster and the workload doubled. I was horrified with myself that I couldn’t catch up. I found all my classmates around me struggling as well but it felt like I got the brunt of it. It came to a point—my tipping point—when I was depressed and at that moment, I gave up. I thought, “If I can’t even pick up my grade then there’s no point in trying.” By then, it was rounding the end of the school year. My parents were breathing down my neck and treated me harshly to get my grades up but I…
