<p>I was wondering how UCI was with appeals. Do they admit many people who appeal? I thought i was a good candidate but wad denied.</p>
<p>STATS:</p>
<p>Male
Private Prep School
3.5 GPA
1830 SAT
630 MATH IIC
500 LIT</p>
<p>3 AP
2 Honors</p>
<p>1 Varsity Sport</p>
<p>Lots of volunteering</p>
<p>2 Jobs</p>
<p>Well, they rejected you with those stats, so they won't care to look at those again. They want new and compelling information, academic or person wise that was not included in your original application. Did you have that for your appeal?</p>
<p>well, theres not much academic wise but maybe something about volunteering/job?
and maybe a councilor's rec letter too</p>
<p>Did you already list your volunteering and jobs in your application? Unless you left those sections blank on accident, saying it again won't make much of a difference.</p>
<p>Talk to your GC, ask for suggestions. They are familiar with the UC system, and might have ideas you are not aware of-Good Luck!</p>
<p>UCI has a set admissions criteria. You will only get admitted if you are able to present enough new information to break that cutoff for admissions. However, if you were very close to getting in the first time, the appeal may give you the bump and get you into UCI.</p>
<p>what is ur major?</p>
<p>I submitted my appeal, but I think that I genuinely have new information not on the application. Anyone want to weigh in?</p>
<p>completion of 18 UC-transferable units since november
Early graduation of high school
30+ hour a week job
High achievement in both final high school and college course (3.6 I think at CC)
Moving due to the death of a parent.</p>
<p>They seem to be legitimate reasons, but I'd like to hear someone else weigh in</p>
<p>If working 30+ hours a week was required to help support the family, then that will definitely help. The completion of 18 units will also help a lot. The final high school and college course grades aren't going to be tangible though. The death of a parent will DEFINITELY get you in...like hands down get you in. Goodluck and sorry to hear about your parent. May that person rest in peace.</p>
<p>Hey, thanks a lot man. I know, I really hate bringing it up, and I hate feeling like I'm using it to get something, because if I had it my way no one would have to know about it, you know. But it made a big difference in where I needed to go, so I had to put it into the appeal. But thank you seriously for the kind words, every bit helps nowadays, even if it is on the internet with someone you've never met.</p>
