<p>Should I appeal? and did any of you guys get rejected with the same scores?</p>
<p>weighted GPA: 3.86
SAT TOTAL: 2140 (math800 cr640 writing700)
SAT MATH 2C: 800
SAT BIO ECO: 580
major: civil engineering</p>
<p>Wow! Those are really good stats, I think you got rejected because of your major.</p>
<p>Do you have any new or compelling information? Are your semester 1 grades good? I think it was your GPA and major that got you.</p>
<p>According to my UC booklet I received in the mail, the average GPA of accepted students in 2009 was 4.01 so based on that you were at a disadvantage. However, the average SAT was about 1800, so your SAT scored were way above average & based on that its weird you didn’t get in.</p>
<p>Jessy, GPA is weighted heavier than SAT for UC.</p>
<p>im thinking about appealing…
uc gpa: 3.83
sat: 1880
decent e.c.'s</p>
<p>My First Semester senior GPA was 4.5 <----
do you think i have a chance at appeal???</p>
<p>“For freshman appeals, high grades in the senior year are not a basis for the reversal of a decision.”
From the UCI website</p>
<p>eh im sure they’ll still take it into account…i dont know what to write in the appeal letter tho =.=</p>
<p>kind of bad news. we have a family friend who is an admin counselor at irvine and this is what she told us: basically, as far as appeals go due to the extra economic budget deficits posed on the UC systems they are virtually ruling out all appeals for consideration because they have no room for anyone else. so even if they didnt recieve your orginal course, appealing the decision will not really help at all because the appeals are virually ignored this year. it sucks i know. hope this helped alot of people and saved them alot of necessary time.</p>
<p>p.s.- the waitlist that unadmitted students get put on is now kind of the unofficial appeals dept/sect. that is why the appeals are going to be practically ignored</p>
