<p>Yeah i'm wondering how long it has to be too. </p>
<p>Any success stories????</p>
<p>Yeah space in the uc apps are very limited. Super limited. There was so much things i wanted to say but even the additional information in the uc app was limited!!</p>
<p>Is Business Economics a competitive major??</p>
<p>is physiological science impacted?</p>
<p>I had A's in all science courses (regular bio, chem, physics, and AP bio, anatomy&physiology) except for AP chem this year but UCLA didn't see the AP chem or anatomy grades the first time around. I also had high science SAT scores so my guess is they also look at more than just science for it...</p>

I hear that "to whom it may concern" is kinda rude</p>
<p>i'd go for "Dear Sir or Madam:"

<p>Was the letter you got signed by anyone? If so write to that person. If not, find out who the Director of Admissions is at UCLA and address the letter to him/her. Your letter probably won't be read by him/her directly. But your ability to find the right person and address the letter appropriately will be noticed.</p>
<p>Would "Dear UCLA Appeals Committee:" work?</p>
<p>^ that's what I'm writing.</p>
<p>Appeals don't succeed in general at UCLA anyways. This year they will be WAY WAY harder than ever before, as the yield is expected to be more. Many students who may have otherwise gone to private schools will turn to UC's. This will put a stress on the enrollment. And whatever little wiggle room is there for adcoms is gone. Pity the class of 2010 who will have to suffer through bloated enrolled student body in 2009. UC's will have compensate by reducing class size in 2010 AND expect increased yield (double whammy). </p>
<p>For UCSD which is point based, appeals have a better chance. You can easily show there was a mistake in compute. In a holistic process, you have little to go by. Goodluck all.</p>
<p>Yes, I got legit reasons. Live 5 blocks away from UCLA, mom makes under 30k, and I have other hardships.</p>
<p>Ok so i fedex'd my appeal in on friday and got confirmation that UCLA received it today. Anyone know where they will notify me of their decision?</p>
<p>It takes like a month for them to reply, gathering from what i learned from previous ucla appeals. Sometimes you'll get the answer in May.</p>
<p>*** you have to submit intent to register for other colleges on may 1st what are you supposed to do not go to college so you can take a 2% chance on an appeal?</p>
<p>I'm helping my friend with his appeal to UCLA, so I've been doing research for him. </p>
<p>According to their website, it doesn't matter to them if you live close to the campus, as they state that there are plenty of other colleges in the LA area. </p>
<p>Good luck to those appealing, it's gonna be tough. Almost all of the kids at my school who got rejected are all appealing too.</p>
<p>Heres what you do SKR: You put in the SIR for the college that you got accepted or where you are planning to go if you cant go to UCLA. If you get accepted to UCLA after may 1st which is the deadline then you can withdraw your SIR from the other school, BUTT you lose $100.</p>
<p>Oh really? I thought it was like a binding agreement or something. Thats good to know, thanks.</p>
<p>does anyone know if i can switch my major based on my appeal? I applied biology as my major and i was rejected. What major should I change to that is less impacted?</p>
<p>Well Biology is pretty impacted, just switch your major when you appeal to something less impacted, BUT are you willing to go to a school not studying what you want to study??</p>
<p>Some non impacted majors is like Art history, Celtic studies, Study of classics lol things in the College of letters and science.</p>
<p>aww man!! i totally sent in my appeal today! I really didnt know that major had such a major impact on decision. I put myself down for Eng major!! I really want to get in to UCLA oh well I guess Im just gonna have to sit back and wait now!!</p>
<p>What the hale are you guys talking about? Major has no impact on admission; the college does.</p>
<p>Besides, the appeals committee would notice that you made the switch with the intention that it will help you get in.</p>
<p>I heard from someone who graduated last year that there was one year that the admitted rate for the appeal reached to 10%. Does anyone know how did this happen?</p>
