<p>I want to appeal to UCI and this is the thing that most closely relates to what I want:
Appeals to Submit Late Statements of Intent to Register</p>
<p>An applicant who has received an offer of admission has a specific time period in which to accept provisional admission by submitting a positive Statement of Intent to Register (SIR). SIR deadlines are provided on the admission offer letter and generally are May 1 for freshman applicants and June 1 for transfer applicants. Students who would like to accept admission at UCI after their SIR deadlines must submit an appeal as follows:</p>
<p>Freshman Late SIR Appeals: Submit the following items in ONE package no later than May 15 and include student name and Application ID number on each sheet of materials submitted:</p>
<pre><code>* Appeal Cover Sheet (download and print: MS Word or PDF)
* Letter of appeal clearly stating new or compelling reason for appeal consideration, written and signed by the applicant
* Official and final high school transcript and any applicable official college transcripts from appropriate terms in the respective school's sealed envelope; please note the transcript must have course information, final grades senior year and graduation date
* Applicable documentation to support case
* Letters of recommendation are NOT REQUIRED unless requested by our staff to support appeal information
</code></pre>
<p>I am curious about the "new or compelling reason for appeal consideration." UCI is my top choice, but I do not have a "compelling" reason like new SAT 2 scores or such. The only thing I was thinking of giving them was my teacher rec that they did not see, which is very good.
How "compelling" does your reason have to be? What is your reason?</p>
