Hello,
I am in the process of writing an appeal letter and was wondering who I should address the letter to. Should I address it to the dean of admissions, the admissions committee, or a regional officer? I guess I could also say 'To whom it may concern." If you have any advice, plz respond asap!
Depends. Do you have a specific regional counselor? If yes, then send it to them. If you don’t, then “To whom it may concern” works.
I’m actually not sure if I have a specific regional counselor. I couldn’t find any information on the admissions website about specific counselors. For now, I’ll just use “To whom it may concern.” Thanks for your help!
I would address it UCI admissions since you will uploading the letter along with required information into your UCI Student Portal.
** For a Freshman appeal to have merit, it must bring to light new academic and personal information, as well as information pertaining to extenuating circumstances that had not been present in the application, and that clearly shows the student to be stronger than had been earlier evidenced. Please note: high grades received in the senior year, recently acquired awards, or an increase in activities are not a basis for the reversal of a decision.
Due to the amount of paperwork received by the office and also the ongoing appeal review process, any paperwork submitted separately WILL NOT be accepted or reviewed. All appeals must be submitted through your UCI Applicant Portal.
Freshman Selection Appeal
Upload the following items by April 15 and include student name and Application ID number on each sheet of materials submitted:
Letter of appeal clearly stating new and compelling information for appeal consideration, written and signed by the applicant
High school transcript from most recent term; please note the transcript must have course information and grades from fall semester of your senior year and any additional semesters available at the time of appeal
Other additional documentation
Letters of recommendation are NOT REQUIRED unless requested by our staff to support appeal information
What do you all consider to be “Additional Documentation”?
I’m not sure what that means
@simp_slayer1527:
Additional documentation could be Medical records/Drs Notes if you are appealing due to Health issues.
A document from your counselor or HS administration showing errors in course description/documentation beyond your control that may have invalidated your eligibility etc…
