<p>I know it sounds like a lost-cause but I am appealing to UCI after being rejected about a month ago. My prospective major is Business Administration, which I’ve heard is extremely exclusive and difficult to get in under. I am currently writing a letter of appeal and have included valuable information pertaining to business activities I am involved in. I am currently interning at an accounting firm and briefly mentioned another internship I am currently involved in and a local charity I assist in managing. I am also looking for more internship opportunities to pursue during the summer. My grades are not stellar and I did not take many weighted classes (which I mentioned in the letter) but it was due to a very rough freshman year. My grades have improved dramatically and are consistent but overall GPA is not impressive. Although UCI is my dream school, I will not consider majoring in Business Economics. If anyone here has been admitted to UCI’s Paul Merage School or knows anyone who has been admitted, could you please tell me your stats like GPA, SAT/ACT, EC’s, etc.? Any information would be useful.</p>
<p>If anyone has insight on my situation, please let me know! I am happy to accept any advice or criticisms.</p>
