My boyfriend was recently rejected from a college.. the thing is, he was accepted to many other private schools, but not this state school. Also, he was told by the music director at the state school that he was better than a lot of their Jrs, and one of the best candidates for the school that he's ever seen. His grades are average or a little above... He's doing an inquiry and the music director is going to question it... However, is there anyway that admissions could re-evaulate his material and later decide to accept him for this upcoming year?

If you received a rejection letter from a college, you may try to
appeal the decision.
Check the college web site for information on the appeal process.
Act quickly. Do not wait for the deadline to appeal.
Colleges may advise you to do the following:
Write a letter and provide any new information
Correct any errors on your original application including grades and
test scores.
Did you win an award since you submitted your application?
Did you omit important information from your application?
Send another letter of recommendation from someone who could
mention your strengths.
You could address personal circumstances and its impact on your
academic record.
Send your transcript
Ask your high school counselor to write a letter.
Send the letter of appeal and other supporting documents in one
envelope. Many colleges will not accept faxed or e-mailed appeals.
Check with the college first.
Normally colleges will not reconsider your application unless you
provide new information.
It's important to correspond with the college soon after you receive
a rejection letter. It shows your interest and the college may have
only a few spots available for appeals.
If you are persistent, it might work.
Consider other options:
Colleges might offer you a spring semester option. This is not a
bad choice if it enables you to attend the college later. You could
work, travel or do some community service. You might enjoy the
break from studying. Some colleges do not want you to attend a
community college during that time. It's important to check with the
college and follow their guidelines.

No, although it is a great site for finding information about college, it is not good for weighting your chances. Many people that post there are way over their heads, unless it is an IV school, because for an IV nothing is guaranteed (unless you are part of the rich families, ex. Rockefeller's, Clinton's, Bush's). Many of the people that post there are applying to college this year themselves, so they really don't know about chances, many of them will get a slap on the face and realize they were way over their heads and others will realize that they had more of chance than hey thought.

Admissions decisions have been made, and slots have been filled--especially if he was applying to a music school where the number of enrolees must be strictly enforced.
Admissions counselors do not typically re-evaluate admissions decisions. If they did, they'd be working non-stop to re-evaluate everyone who felt they didn't get a fair shake.

Sure it's possible, but it's not likely. Anyway, why would someone want to go to a school that is clearly too messed up to recognize talent. That's what you get from state schools. Tell your boyfriend to go to one of the private schools who appreciate him for the talent he has.

If he has POLITELY asked them to explain his rejection, and he has a faculty member on his side, they may re-consider his application. If someone else they have accepted decides to go to a different school, there may be an opening. But if they have filled all their slots, he may have to choose another school that has accepted him.

If he really wants to go, tell him to dress up, and go and get a meeting at the school with whomever is in charge there.

If I knew what grounds they had to reject him and why they did, I may be able to tell you.
