<p>How do you guys think? I know at undergrad level they are just at good but Berkeley has always been my dream and I just feel I can't give up on it --- I've been waiting for its decision since I was still a 12-year-old junior high school kid who dreamed about Cal every day, and now 10 years have passed. Is there a good chance for UCLA and UCSD admitted to appeal Berkeley's decision?</p>

<p>I like LA and I appreciate LA for granting me such an opportunity to be proud of its name. I, however, deeply loves Berkeley --- I can never turn it down Oh My Cal...</p>

<p>BTW, I'm someone out-of-state from a four-year educational institution with no reputation. My GPA seems low compared with those crazy 3.8's and 3.9's...but that's because I'm always willing to take risk and challenge myself with junior, senior and even graduate level classes. But all this doesn't seem impressive enough to my dream Cal...</p>

<p>Cal says they discourage people to appeal but it's up to the applicants who have the right to know every "why"... Anybody in the same situation with me?</p>

<p>Getting accepted into UCLA and UCSD has no bearing on Berkeley. They’re different admission departments that use completely different methodology. </p>

<p>You do have every right to know why you were rejected so call and ask them. Then using what the information you receive try to form a compelling rebuttal. </p>

<p>There’s absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t try to appeal if that’s where you want to attend. Just know it isn’t going to be easy and the probability of getting it accepted is very, very, very slim. So you’re going to have to extremely thorough and extremely convincing in your appeal.</p>

<p>Thanks for encouraging me… I just need some support and courage to decide if I wanna do it. You’ve just told the truth — I’ve got nothing to lose. I don’t care to lose my tears and my heartbeats for Cal :)</p>

<p>you right… I’m just thinking even though there’s too little chance to get in through appeal, I’d like to have a try. I’d be regret if I don’t even put in an effort.</p>
