Probably one of the best news I've received thus far!!! :)
I pray everyday because I really wish to get into a local university.
Day after day, a little hope is lost when I opened the mailbox and see no letter.
It was July already and I was prepared to enter a private university and had braced myself for the rejection letter from NTU.
And when I opened the mailbox yesterday and saw that package, my heart started throbbing super fast.
I quickly tore the package and holy mama!
I got into NTU, my appeal was successful!
And it was my first choice when I applied somemore!!!
My prayers were answered and I am really thankful. :')
PS (Updated as of 22 May 2014): I received a lot of hits/comments on this entry searching for appeal letter and how I wrote it.
Here is my answer:
I don't have my sample appeal letter with me and I don't think my letter can help much.
But I can tell you what's the content I wrote. I didn't write much since it has a 50 words limit. Basically I said how much I really want to get in the course and also, looking at the brochure of the course, I realise that I used to work at a company that has 'partnership' with the course itself. I wrote in my appeal letter that I have a testimonial from the company (even though I only worked as an admin there lolol) and was able to show them if needed. That's all. Sorry to disappoint everyone! Haha I guess I was just lucky? :)
I think my answer didn't really help anyone? Haha. But still, good luck in appealing and hope those who are gonna appeal get into the course they want to!
Update as of 14 May 2016:
I am still getting lots of comments from this entry of mine and even though I have stated clearly everything there is to ask about, people still comment without reading properly. I am not selfish, it's just irritating when the answer is just there and people can't be bothered to read.
The most common question posted was:
Do you have a copy of your appeal letter, can you email me a copy of it?
I am honestly getting irritated because it means you DID NOT read my entry. I have clearly stated above that I DO NOT HAVE MY SAMPLE LETTER WITH ME. And I have already mentioned above the content I wrote inside. Please freaking read before you ask.
I am not going to be nice and entertain anyone who asks this question anymore. I am not obliged to do it.

ReplyDeleteHi guys, I just wrote why I wanted to be in the course and also that the company I worked in while I was waiting to get into university has some sort of links with my course, so I told them I had a testimonial from that company if they're interested to see, that's all. Anyway, there wasn't much I could include since they had a 50 words limit. :)
ReplyDeletehi, thank you for the reply :) before you appeal, did ntu offer you any other programme? :) btw, if you don't mind, can u share with me your grade? thank you :)
ReplyDeleteHi zc, I got totally rejected! Even went to sign up for SIM just in case! The course I appealed to was my first choice! Guess I got lucky! Haha, my grades are too lousy but what I can say is that they are like 2 grades different from the required grades for the course I am in. :)
ReplyDeleteHi.Thank you for replying me :) btw, I am getting worried now because I already appeal but I havent receive any reply. If appeal successfully, is that mean we are under 2nd window? because the date for Acceptance of offer (2nd Window)is from 10/6 to 20/6.

DeleteWho did you email your testimonial to? There was no attach button to the online appeal isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHi! Yeah, there wasn't any attach button so I was really just trying my luck by saying I will attach if they really need to see it. In the end they just accepted me without requesting to look at the testimonial. :)

Hi, I have already stated in my entry, please do check.
DeleteHi. I am sure you may have even graduated from ntu with material engg. Degree now but I need a little help from you ma'am. I am an Indian student. Ntu is my dream college. I just got my rejection letter from them. I had applied for chemical and biomolecular engg and computer science engg. I got an aggregate of 97% In my 12th grade with 98% in chemistry, 95% in maths and 95% in physics and English too. In 10th grade I got a CGPA of 10. I'll be obliged if you could suggest me what course should I appeal for to stand a chance.
ReplyDeleteI'll be grateful if you could share your course details and experience. Email- sherry.sarna@gmail.com
Looking fwd to an early response from you.
Thank you
Hello! Sorry for the late reply, I haven't logged in in ages! I have emailed you already, hope it will help in anyway! Good luck. :)
Deletehello mam!!...Can you please tell me how you send that testimonial in appeal...and to whom??...and pls guide me on how to send personal statments/projectReports/etc etc stuffs in appeal ...coz i also got rejection from nus,ntu both...so i want to give a last shot to convince them...one more help ..can you pls give some suggestion for writing a really convincing appeal letter!!...thanks in advance!!
ReplyDeleteHi, I apologise for replying late! Haven't logged in for ages! I guess it's a little to late to reply to you. But in case, anyone has the same queries as you in the future, I mentioned in one of the comments that there wasn't any attach button for me to send that testimonial. I only stated in the appeal that I have one if they do need to see. I guess if they really wanted proof, they will probably email and request for it. :) That being said, I hope you managed to get into a course you like in the end!
DeleteHi! Could you email me the email that u sent to the NTU admission? So you could got into NTU? My email is: xiaocath8@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThank you in advance!
Hi Kathy, I believed I have answered your question in the entry above, under the second last paragraph! Please refer there instead, thanks. Good luck to you!
DeleteHi, may i ask if your grades are 2 H2 grades away from the igp? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi, only one of my grades is 2H2 grades away from the igp!
DeleteHi, may i know when did you send your appeal? When the appeal period start or towards the end? Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteHi, sorry I couldn't remember already as it was about 5 years ago! Usually they will let you know when the appeal period is I think.
DeleteHello, I know this post was posted quite some time ago, but I would really appreciate it if you still have your sample appeal letter with you and if you are able to send it to me. I just got my rejection letter today and i really hope to be able to get into a local uni. my personal email is: neonlights-audrey@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot!
Hi Audrey, I believed I have stated clearly in my post I do not have my sample appeal letter with me in my entry anymore. I have answered all the doubts posted! Good luck!
DeleteHello! Thanks for the advice that you gave here. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm currently writing my appeal for NTU, but it's 250 words this year...
Hehe, I hope I can get into the course I want, like you!
Thank you once again, for sharing what you went through, it really gives people like me some reassurance that we also have a chance ><
Hi, hope you get in to what you want! You're welcome. :)
DeleteHi Shufen
ReplyDeleteI am intending to appeal to material engineering. Could you share your experience? Is it easy to cope?
Hi Sunitha, I think my reply may be a little too late, hope you manage to get in a course of your choice!
DeleteHi, I know this post was very long time ago, i would really appreciate it if you can answer some of my questions. I got rejected form NTU. my first choice was comp eng (same rank pt as mine) my 2nd choice was EEE and i was 2h2 and 1h1 grade higher. I am doing appealing now, I do not know should i still appeal for EEE as i got rejected and the NTU website stated that is very unlikely your appeal will success if you appeal for a course that you have been rejected. So i am thinking of appealing ME which is not inside my 5choices. Do you have any suggestions? thank you! and hope that you can get back real soon as appeal deadline is very near now. thank you so much! btw, i am a PR (i got rejected maybe because of that?)
ReplyDeleteHi Wang Lu,
DeleteMy reply is a little late but quoting what you said "NTU website stated that is very unlikely your appeal will success if you appeal for a course that you have been rejected" - Materials Engineering was my first choice and I was rejected, however I managed to get in after appealing. I guess it depends a little on luck and maybe there was a slot available for me. I hope you manage to get in a course of your choice in the end. :)
Hi, I need help :( I appealed for some course in NTU, but I'm 2 H2 grades away. Do you think I stand a chance? I appealed already :(
ReplyDeleteHi, my reply is a little late but I guess it depends. 2 of my results were also a few grades away, I guess I got lucky! Hope you get in the course of your choice in the end. :)
DeleteI got DCC but the course I wanna get in is BCC, do you think I stand a chance of I appeal?
ReplyDeleteHi, this reply is a little late but I hope you went to appeal in the end! Like they say, never try never know. Hope you manage to get in the course of your choice. :)
