<p>hi oquendo,</p>
<p>i honestly don’t know much about the appealing system, and for that reason i will be brief and go with what i do know: i found your essay to be pretty compelling. it struck me as honest, effective, and sincere and i think you should go for it.</p>
<p>good luck :)</p>
<p>If anybody has an appeal they want me to read, just PM me, I’ll be happy to read it, and give feedback.</p>

<p>I won’t be able to tell Berkeley that I had a religious experience and changed my priorities. I will, however, tell them that 3 failed classes are now being erased from my record, because that is new and compelling information. I know that’s not very specific, but I hope you get the idea. It’s 2 at night and I’m tired.</p>
<p>Go for it! It’s a nice letter, and even though I don’t think that UCLA will want to compromise their rules for you, it’s worth a shot.</p>

<p>That’s the thing…I must admit I was OCD about my past two years so I made sure that I would take classes that would not undermine my transfer, lol…but I understand what you mean, there isn’t a lot empirical evidence…</p>
<p>Plus the fact that I am appealing for a major in a different school is uncommon…but oh well…</p>
<p>Thanks guys for all your help!</p>
