<p>Do you guys think finance is a valid reason to appeal to a college? My mom makes a very small amount of money, and I was wondering if I could milk this to maybe get into UCD.</p>
<p>And yeah, UCD is a lot closer to my home than UCSB (the school I'll be going to if my UCD doesn't pan out). Also, I'm getting a letter of recommendation from my teacher of three years, so that should help out.</p>
<p>that almost sounds like
"i'm poor, so you should let me into your college. it doesn't matter if i'm not qualified, i'm disadvantaged."</p>
<p>yea i don't think that's going to fly</p>
<p>concentrate more on your student resume rather than your background.</p>
<p>Well, I read on here the most appeals that get granted are the financial ones..</p>
<p>I need to BUMP this.</p>
<p>Well... it depends, did u applicant for ELC? If so then i am not sure an appeal would work, and i kinda agree with igivein, UCD isn gonna grant u admission because u are just now going to let them now of your financial situation. You shouldv'e focused on that issue when applying rather than using it as a secondary crutch now.</p>
<p>If I mention that I'm a first-gen university attender does that count as an appeal?</p>
