<p>I sent my appeal letter a week ago, and I got delivery confirmation from USPS, but myberkeleyapp has not changed yet.</p>
<p>Should I call them or what?</p>
<p>They received my appeal yesterday.
Still no change on my status :O</p>
<p>“Your appeal for admission has been received and is under review. Please check this site regularly for a reply. We will do our best to post a decision by Friday, May 01, 2009.”</p>
<p>^ when did you send in your appeal?</p>
<p>I sent it by DHL and the packet was signed by 940725800
Weird
:S</p>
<p>I mailed it the Monday after decisions were released. Appeal letter, transcript, UCLA and UCD acceptance letters, National Merit Finalist letter, and letter of rec from my AP English teacher - she’s a Berkeley instructor, and I’ve been attending her upper-division arch class for the past month.</p>
<p>Aaah.
They updated my appeal status.</p>
<p>@OP: you should call and check.</p>
<p>“Appeal letter, transcript, UCLA and UCD acceptance letters, National Merit Finalist letter, and letter of rec from my AP English teacher”</p>
<p>@dylpkls91: You think sending in acceptance letters from other UCs would help? I didn’t send in mine- you think I should FedEx it now or something? (It’s from UCLA btw- the only other UC I applied to!" :)</p>
<p>I’d say it would be better not to send in other letters of acceptance, especially from other UC’s. From what people post on these (and other) boards, people more-than-not get into either UCLA or Berkeley, not often both. Though they never discuss, there is a theory that if you get accepted in one they’ll be more apt to drop you for the other.</p>
<p>Really? A lot of people got into both.</p>
<p>Plus, I think it is okay to send in UCLA acceptance letter…if you are a really amazing student, wouldn’t Cal want to fight for you and have you go to Cal over UCLA?</p>
<p>@Catalysis: But do you think it’ll help? I received the UCLA “likely” letter too… and then the acceptance. I didn’t send it with the rest of my appeal. Do you suggest I should send a follow-on with the Acceptances?</p>
<p>I’m not sure if it would help, I was just hoping that it would.
But I think that at this point, if your appeals stuff is already sent in, there really isn’t need to go and mail your UCLA acceptance letters separately.</p>
<p>Good luck with your appeals you guys!!</p>
<p>I just kinda threw in my UCLA letter (and Davis letter, FWIW) to say (in a more professional tone), “…and recently I have learned that the strength of my UC application has led to the following acceptances at other highly impacted programs such as…”</p>
