Appealing to davis-Accepted!

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Davis

I appealed to Davis! The submission was due not to long ago and I already received an acceptance! I’m studying managerial economics! One of my letters of rec was written from an actual admissions officer! My statement was impressive and I included more volunteer work and a couple of awards.

I would like to thank everyone on College confidential who gave me some great advice such as:Gumbymom ,socalmom007, NcalRent, dianeuh96 and AMCdad!

I am beyond excited. I would like to encourage other students that an appeal is worth it, if it’s your dream school.

Congratulations and best of luck.

Congratulations! Maybe I’ll see you on campus this Fall as I’m transferring :slight_smile:

CONGRATS!!! may i ask, did you also have extenuating circumstances or any other special situations going on or did you just write about the volunteer work, awards, and rec letters?

Stats? Congrats btw!

I wouldn’t say I had extremely excruciating circumstances; however, I did mention I couldn’t leave home at a time like this. I am the first in my family to graduate high school and attend college.

As the oldest I felt like I had a responsibility to help my parents out with doctors appointments , and other important affairs (I serve as a translator for them). I also explained i have 3 younger siblings to guide and help (in hwk and other school aspects)

Thank you. 3.78 weighted gpa. Took 8 ap. 1110 sat. Tons of exc. I do believe the letter from the admissions officer helped alot. Networking definitely helps!

My stats might not be overachieving but I did not have the advantage many other students had like college educated parents, tutoring etc. (My parents have an elementary math education, they couldn’t help me when I struggled with calculus).

I know some students live under similar circumstances and still manage to enroll in ivy leagues. :slight_smile:

You sound as though you have a “can do” attitude, and you are obviously important to your family and care for them. Very happy for you.

Thank you so much. :slight_smile:

If anybody is interested in reading my 350 word statement I’ll be happy to post it or pm.

11

A PM would be amazing. Thanks and congrats once again! I hope to be an Aggie next year as well!

Awesome! Are you a junior? I believe my appeal was very successful because of my connections, so If you have clubs in your school that are associated with UCDavis I recommend you join. But I’m sure you’ll get in on your first try! :smiley:

13

Would you mind me a PM of your 350 word statement? I hope to maybe use it as a reference sometime in the future.

14

I’m interested. If you can please send it to me, it would be awesome.

Hey @lenky0 I too am planning on appealing to Davis. I have similar stats as you and am also a first generations student. Do you have any advice for me? How did you go about writing your letter?

@OP, you rock! And don’t think for a second your stats are one bit less than very solid. You’re already a very accomplished young person and you will succeed in life.
