Study Abroad Rationale

1.     The motivation in this type of communication situation is to appeal the decision of my study abroad application.

2.     The goal is to get the audience/appeal board to feel bad that I was turned down and also feel that the original decision was unjust. I want them to feel that I am fully worthy of being accepted and that there is no doubt that I should be accepted.

3.     I could write about the reasons why I am most certainly qualified to study abroad and explain how well I have done in school and possibly how I have traveled before. Any plausible story to help my case would be a good event or situation to talk about. I could also discuss how I have to have this opportunity otherwise I would be kicked out of the Honor’s program or any such program that I need it for.

4.     The best possible outcome of this communication would be to have the decision reversed and be allowed to study abroad.

5.     The worst possible outcome would be to irritate them to the point that I get denied again and am told I cannot reapply in the future.

6.     This is definitely a worthwhile communication situation because studying abroad is super important to me. It is worth the trouble of trying to achieve. Overall it is most definitely worthwhile and I will need to write a very convincing appeal.
