Are private school admissions decisions final, or can they be appealed?

Most private school admissions decisions are final, meaning there is usually no formal appeals process. However, in rare cases, families may reach out to the admissions office to express continued interest, particularly if new information could strengthen the student’s candidacy. This may include updated academic records, significant achievements, or changes in family circumstances. Some schools maintain a waitlist, and students who were not initially accepted may still have a chance if spots open up. While appeals are uncommon, demonstrating a strong, ongoing interest in the school and maintaining communication with the admissions team may help improve the chances of reconsideration.
