<p>My first choice school (UCLA) denied me based on a new requirement this year that I didn't know about, so I appealed in hopes that they'd reconsider since I'm more qualified than most of the people I know that got in with my major. A friend of mine said that was a bad idea because I'm basically insulting their admissions procedure and that I could end up "blacklisted." </p>
<p>So my question is this: Has anyone here gotten into a school on appeal? What was your experience? Were you treated just like every other student with the same rights and privilages, or was there any kind of discrimination based on the fact that you got in on appeal?</p>
<p>Your friend is feeding you garbage. If they accept you, why on earth wouldn’t they already view you as a contributing member? If you’re that noisome to them, they’ll just not heed your appeal. Think about it. People have better things to do than maintaining a “black list” of people whom to terrorize on campus. Puh-leez</p>
<p>If they didn’t think there could be an error, then why would they allow appeals? You’re friend is probably saying this in fear of you actually getting in, and angering him. Trust me, my friend told me for all four years of high school I’d never get into UMich because my GPA sucked, and that I shouldn’t waste my time. Well, I got in, and guess who recently stopped talking to me. Sad, but true. </p>
<p>You won’t get blacklisted. If they would actually blacklist someone, why would they have this option available?</p>
<p>Good luck on your appeal, let me know how it goes.</p>
<p>Yeah, thats kind of what I thought but I just wanted to hear from someone who actually did get in on appeal.
Funny thing is, she wants me to get into UCLA. We both assumed I would go there because of my credentials–I was a no miss! Well, except for that one missing class which was a recent addition to their requirements, the change I wasn’t aware of. We kind of planned to be roommates, and now she’s bummed thinking that she might have to go to Berkeley with me lol!</p>
<p>I know a guy who got into Berk on appeal. It totally sucks. You have to go around wearing this special armband so that people know you got in on appeal, and the appeal kids have their own restrooms and drinking fountains.</p>
