Appeal Assistance Request

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I applied to both UCLA and Cal as a transfer student this year. I didn't get accepted into either one but I am certain that I qualify to get in. I have fellow classmates who were accepted into UCLA with a 3.2 and I have a 3.86! In addition to that, my EC's were much better and my essay was definitely above-average. I rank in the top of almost all of my classes and there's much more.</p>

<p>The bottom line is, I am going to appeal to both and I want to send it in within a week. I would really appreciate any help such as maybe some successful appeal letters to read, basic structure (is it suppose to be just a regular letter or do I have to use business format), advice, etc. Reading someone's successful appeal letter would probably be the most beneficial. I have thought of some new details in addition to the original application but I don't know if it's going to be strong enough of a difference. Any inputs on that would be great too.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I appealed for freshman admission this year and got in, so if anyone knows that there is a difference freshman and transfer appeals feel free to correct me. For new information i sent documentation showing that i have a learning disablility, two letters of rec (one from a cal alumnus), latest grade report, and i wrote one sentence regarding my LD and how it has affected me (didnt know that i could write more and i suggest that you do write more) and used one quote about hard work. I don't know how this might relate to transfer admission, but i would assume that it wouldn't be too different. Good luck with your appeal.</p>
