Appeals to UCLA, UCSB, UCI, USC

<p>I am a senior and have currently been rejected to 11/12 schools. The only school that accepted me was CSULA which isn't that good of a school. I am hoping to appeal to these schools in hope that one might accept me. Please any and all help is welcome. Now a little back story:</p>

<p>I have had severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) since I was a baby and it severely impairs my ability to do several things like sleep at night, get up early, sports, etc. I have always had a rough time doing well in class because my skin would flare up whenever I got stressed because I didn't understand something or simply because my skin was so bad that it literally hurt for me to do anything else besides lie motionless with a towel on my face. </p>

<p>I didn't include all this information because I felt like I would be whining all my problems to the colleges I applied to. What I did include was my family's financial struggle and how it impacted my grades. It wasn't until recently that my family attained stable shelter and I literally spent my whole junior year living out of our chevy astro.</p>

<p>My Grades my Fresh and Soph year were B's and A's and in my Junior year dropped down to mostly C's</p>

<p>I took 3 AP's two with a score of 3's and one with a 2.</p>

<p>My SAT score was 1740. </p>

<p>As one could see I am in quite a pickle, pardon for the long post.</p>
