<p>Hi so last night I was waitlist at UCSC, which is undoubtedly my first choice.
My GPA was a 3.6 weighted (I had a 4.0 my junior year but messed around to much my sophomore year which screwed my GPA over [obviously I'm not going to include this in my appeal]).
My SAT and ACT is where I'm mostly looking to win over the appeal.
I got a 26 on my ACT and a 1610 on the SAT (31 in ACT math and 610 SAT math)
I know I could do better but I never had enough time to finish a single English section all three times I tested.
My reason for appeal would be that I have dyslexia. I am able to manage it in school perfectly fine but when I am timed that's where things go wrong). I never had time to contact collegeboard or the ACT people and request special testing (which would have allotted me more time).
My question is since I must have been very close to being admitted would UCSC, or any college as I was also waitlisted at SDSU (my second choice) consider this a valid reason to accept me.</p>
