Dear Dr . Devine and Mr . Pajewski

This letter is my appeal to you to revert your decision of dropping me from the School of H SS . In your letter you suggested that my academic situation with the `QPA hole ' became most doubtful in reversing the previous trend of poor academic performances . In response I would like to say that the QPA does not represent well of my academic performance

I would like

to explain my past academic trend in detail . In my first semester here at CMU , I received a 2 .8 GPA , which might not be a very good grade point but nevertheless is acceptable . Following that , in my second semester I willingly became involved in a few organizations on campus such as Sigma Nu Fraternity and Hong Kong Student Association . I initially felt that this was a very good decision as it would provide me with the opportunity to meet people from diverse backgrounds in campus But what I didn 't realize that I wasn 't assigning priority to my academics .

The academic slump I had experienced had made me loose my self confidence . I felt so insecure about myself that I started avoiding seeing any faculty member so that my unacceptable grades wouldn 't be talked about . For this reason I also stopped seeking their assistance during office hours , even though I critically needed it . Hence , my grades progressively worsened to the point that I was suspended

While undergoing my suspension , I worked at Astorino , a local architecture firm , and Citigroup in Hong Kong . At Astorino particularly I was greatly involved in a project to be presented to an industrial firm in China . The project was later chosen for its satellite office building design in Beijing . At Citigroup , I was working in Corporate Banking department . Over the two months of internship , I worked on few research projects to help explore Citi 's potential market in the future All of those projects were greatly considered and a few project reports were sent and presented to the Chief Executive Officer of Citigroup Asia-Pacific . Through these...
