<p>Just out of curiosity, I want to know how many of you guys got in through appeal. I want to find out for my friend who is trying to appeal to UCLA. Thanks</p>
<p>I know a girl who was going to Vandy and waitlisted at Harvard. She appealed to Harvard, got off the waitlist, and is there now… dunno if thats what youre looking for</p>
<p>Not to nit pick, but getting off a waitlist is different from an appeal from a rejection. </p>
<p>To the OP, there are other appeal threads with good advice. The key is, a successful appeal depends on new facts–improved grades, a new major achievement, etc. Don’t reiterate old stuff–they already rejected your friend on what she presented. The only caveat to that is, if there was a material error in the presentation, e.g., high school goofed on transcript.</p>
