<p>i was accepted winter quarter at ucsd but i appealed kuz i really really want to go in the fall for tons of reasons that i wont list here. </p>
<p>my letter was very sincere with new information and such and i also got one of my favorite teachers [an english teacher] to write a rec for me. i sent in my appeal letter on april 11th and i havent heard back from them yet and im getting really nervous since the deadline for SIR is may 1st. </p>
<p>so has anyone heard back from ucsd?</p>
<p>Yeah, i appealed for Fall Quarter and got in; they had misinterpreted some information on my application. I sent my letter end of march and recieved my appeal approval on April 11th.</p>
<p>wow congrats tdaws. how many points off were you? kuz i was only 25 measly points off and i think they might've misinterpreted some of my information too [based on my conversation with an admissions officer when i called in]. and did they send an email? or call? or mailed the letter?</p>
<p>UCSD received my appeal on April 12 I believe. I got my answer back by paper mail on April 22. I got rejected again ^^. I was expecting it though since I was 200 pts from cutoff. GL with your appeal! I'm waiting on Davis myself.</p>
<p>Ah you beat me, I was 38 points off; they misinterpreted some of my ecs and so i got an extra 150 points which put me over the 2421. And i recieved my appeal decision in a letter. The error was a semantic gaff on my part i suppose, i was a VP and P of my M-UN club but on my application i put some other word like "Executive". So i fixed it in what i would like to call a nice letter and so i recieved '2 minors' for demonstrated leadership, which merited me an extra 150 points. Quite the process, but nonetheless it worked.</p>
<p>how many people do they accept? (not how many spots do they have)</p>
<p>I also appealed for fall and was accepted. I received a formal letter on April 22nd. My situation is very similar to yours. I did not want to attend ucsd in the winter for various reasons. I thought that if i had been accepted to fall quarter at ucsd, i would definitely go there but i am still having a very difficult time deciding between ucsd and uci.</p>
<p>These Stats are a little old ( 2003) but the numbers should not have changed that dramatically between then and now. For Fall 2003, UCSD recieved 833 freshman appeals; 64 or approx. 8% were approved. Wow....i guess im quite fortunate, one out of approx. 64.</p>
<p>jas0n, sorry about ucsd. but gluck on davis!!</p>
<p>tdaws, that sounds like a great success story! i think mine is similar except it concerns my leadership position on the yearbook staff. i wont go into details about that but im keeping my fingers crossed.</p>
<p>tcmaltezza, congrats! and when did you send your letter in? ive been checking my mail every single day lol. and i understand your issue with ucsd vs. uci. a lot of my friends are in the same situation.</p>
<p>oh sorry i meant how many people does ucsd accept (appeal included or not) & how many spots do they actually have available?</p>
<p>UCI probably has about 4,200 spots available. They normally accept around 20,000 students a year? These are rough numbers that are about the same at most UCs.</p>
<p>(From 2004) Recieved 40518 apps, admitted 17891 for admit rate of about 42%; and about 21% of those people registered; or 3720. The ideal number they have liked to get for the past couple of years has been at most 4000.</p>
<p>wow so they really hope A LOT of people choose to go somewhere else</p>
<p>Yeah, i think they just tabulate an average of how many people turn down admissions over the years. It would be unrealistic to expect all 18k or so to send in their sirs; so i guess they feel if they admit at least 18k or so, they will get around the right number of students who submit their sirs, or at most 4,000 or so.</p>
<p>nevermind i answered my own question</p>
<p>"For the 2006-2007 academic period, UCSD received 43,579 (second after UCLA who recieved 47,000) freshmen applications of which 21,305 students were offered admission, making the admission rate about 49%. [2] A small number of these offers required students to enter in winter quarter. The group of admitted students attained a mean weighted high school GPA of 4.03 and an average SAT Reasoning score of 627, 664 and 636, respectively, for Critical Reading, Math and Writing.[3]"</p>
<p>wow, high admit rate this year.</p>
<p>oh yeah. question for those who appealed and got into fall quarter from winter quarter: did they just give you the college you were accepted into for the winter? or did you get a completely different college for fall?</p>
<p>Collegefasho-</p>
<p>Thanks for the congrats and yes they placed me in the college i was initially accepted to (Warren). I sent my appeal letter April 1 so it took exactly 3 weeks for me to receive a reply. UCSD has good timing :). But yes, im still quite torn between uci vs ucsd.</p>
<p>same college ( John Muir ). Generally they'll give you the same college if your appeal is approved, its only if you accept Winter Quarter admissions and they bump you up to fall after May 1st that you might have your college changed.</p>
<p>im hoping they get back to me on my appeal before may 1st.</p>
<p>but if they dont...should i just accept winter quarter admissions? and then see what happens?</p>
<p>oh and tcmaltezza, why did they give you winter quarter in the first place? and what did you write in your appeal letter to convince them to reverse it? [just curious. it's okay if you'd rather not disclose that info]</p>
