<p>hey i was wondering what my chances were of getting in on an appeal. it says to include only new matters. i have: csf lifetime, nhs induction, organizing an event for leadership, and a job. what do you think? thanks in advance.</p>
<p>also, i have a 4.2 weighted GPA, have taken 10 AP classes, and got a 2100 on my SATs.</p>
<p>I don't think you'll get in on your appeal. None of those "new matters" you mentioned is particularly compelling, because none of them are unique to a college application -- unless your job is something exceptional like nanotechnology research or investment banking. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>alright thanks. i'm actually working in the research department of a doctor's office. i just do filing and stuff though.</p>
<p>oh, and should i include that my brother attends ucla?</p>
<p>hmm can you do anything else at your office? or at least put a bit of "spin" onto your job? like, yes, you are doing filing, but you are IN A RESEARCH department, helping your employer with something "cutting edge", as in, lets say hes doing a project, but you have a hand in it. like, he depends on you. </p>
<p>just a bit of spin on it, you know?</p>
<p>your STATS are impressive, it really sucks that UCLA rejected you. btw, I've not heard of too many people getting in after the appeals process. FYI</p>
<p>did you apply to anything else?</p>
<p>UCSD?</p>
<p>yeahh i get what you're saying about the spin. i heard that only 7% get in on appeals =(. oh well, it never hurts to try, right? ucsd is my second choice. i'll be going there if my rejection isn't overturned. thanks for the response :)</p>
<p>well UCSD is a great school, and even rank wise...42 in the nation i think? [not that rank matters at all]</p>
