Appealing your Admissions Decision

Students who are denied admission may submit an appeal to the Admission Appeals Committee for reconsideration of their application decision.

To be considered, students must provide new and compelling evidence demonstrating their qualifications for admission to John Jay, rather than repeating information already included in their application. Students are advised to accept an offer of admission from another college while their appeal is under review.

All appeal decisions are final. Submit an Admission Appeal
