First, you need to recognize that any student who has been dismissed from college has an uphill battle to fight. The college has indicated that it lacks confidence in your ability to succeed academically, so the appeal letter must reinstill that confidence.
A successful appeal must do several things:
1. show that you understand what went wrong
2. show that you take responsibility for the academic failures
3. show that you have a plan for future academic success
4. in a broad sense, show that you are being honest with yourself and the committee
Many students who appeal an academic dismissal make a serious mistake by trying to place the blame for their problems on someone else. Certainly external factors can contribute to academic failure, but in the end you are the one who did not perform well on papers and exams. It is not a bad thing to own up to your miscalculations and mistakes. In fact, doing so reveals great maturity. The appeals committee does not expect college students to be perfect. A big part of college is making mistakes and then learning from them, so it makes sense that a successful appeal shows that you recognize your mistakes and have learned from them.
