I would absolutely appeal. When I was a TA in an entry level grad program for another allied health profession, some students would "fail out" (for lack of a better term). What I found ironic and maddening, was that The students who did better academically and would make better clinicians would accept responsibility and accept their fate and be gone, while the crappier students would appeal and lobby strongly and somehow get another chance. On behalf of the good students, and of course yourself, appeal. I hope it works out for you.
