Appeal college decision? (University of Pittsburgh)?
Listen, they didn't reject you because you were under-qualified, they rejected you because you were overqualified. The same thing happened to my friend. Pitt isn't that great of a school and with your GPA and scores you should have applied to a lot better schools. Schools don't admit students who are way overqualified for their admissions because they figure they won't attend anyway and they want to keep their acceptance rate down (by only accepting students they think will actually go there). The real question is, why did you only apply to one school and why didn't you apply to better schools? You are clearly smart enough to go to a much better college, there are other ones in Pittsburgh like Carnegie Mellon that would have been a better fit for you. They shouldn't repeal the decision because they made the right one and you just made a huge mistake in your college applications. Its too late now and you'll have to take a year off and do something productive so you can get into a better school next year. Its so sad that you didn't get better guidance/advice on this, you should have applied to at least 5-10 schools. Good luck.
