Admission appeals

Each application for admission is evaluated very carefully and several times. For this reason, admission decisions are rarely overturned. According to the regulation II-1, a denial of admission by the faculty is final. Admission appeals are only considered on procedural grounds. Your appeal will be refused if you fail to clearly outline your rationale and provide supporting documents.

The following reasons are not acceptable for an appeal:

• You think that the Faculty should review your application one more time.
• A colleague or a friend of yours, with similar grades, was given an offer of admission.
• Other universities have offered you admission, so you feel that the Faculty should also offer you admission.
