Rejection to Acceptance

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I'm not sure about this, but I think I remember reading from someone on here about writing an appeal letter after getting rejected pre-interview. This wouldn't work if the interview season is over, though.
 
Did you increase your app at all upon reapplication? I learned this the hardway, but reapplication off waitlist does not usually affect a schools descision to accept you the following year. Every year is different.
 
Just go to a CC and do really well for a semester or a year, and then re-apply to try and transfer into the school of your choice.
 
I personally know someone who was interviewed two years in a row, and got rejected. After the end of the second year, this student met with the dean to discuss how to improve their application. The student did this, and didn't even get an interview the third year. In March, they called up the med school (after getting rejected), and said that they improved their application for this third year, and didn't get an interview. So they granted the student an interview, and they were accepted a couple of weeks later.
Not the norm, but it has happened.
 
I was rejected w/out interview from USC in application yr '07, didn't apply in '08 . I was accepted in application yr '09.

I did have 2 new LOR's, however, and some substantial additions to my application.
