Help--I'm begging you.

<p>Welll…any updates?</p>

<p>Um ok. So I called the office and they said my offer of admission has been revoked (■■■■ I DIED…and I’m not sure if I’m still alive). NO D’s/F’s…two Cs (explained that already and they said it was fine) then I had <em>another</em> emergency that I would prefer not to discuss spring semester that is VERY serious. The lady on the phone pretty much hung up on me and said that there was nothing I could do but apply as a transfer. My parents are getting a lawyer–there was no drop! We’re flying to UCLA and seeing what we can do. I’ve never though this could happend–I’m in complete and total shock. If you believe in God (I might start) please pray for me. I turned down Uchicago, Northwestern, NYU etc. for this and I’m NOT about to go to a college I could have gotten into with an sat score of 600 points lower and no extra curriculars–ITS JUST NOT FAIR.
It’s like they hand you an acceptance letter and they’re like “whoops, just kidding” :(</p>

<p>omg im so sorry. Look through the Provisional Agreement to see if there’s anything that u might have missed. If there’s nothing in there that applies to you, make sure that you get into UCLA NOW and don’t take no for an answer. Good Luck!!!</p>

<p>ouch. call again, demand to talk to someone higher than the one on the phone (supervisor, administrator, etc).</p>

<p>did you call undergrad admissions?</p>

<p>I don’t understand… what did they say you got rescinded for?</p>

<p>and I quote “You are not at the same academic status you were at when we admitted you”. What kind of things should I write in the appeal? After talking to someone higher today, they said I can most definitely write one. Undergrad admissions: i left a voice mail with them. This is simply injustice. My family and I are fighting for this. Suggestions? I got recs from the teacher’s whose classes I didn’t do as well in and had them fax it to the head of undergraduate admissions. I hope this works out…if not…I don’t know what I’m going to do :frowning: Suggestions?</p>

<p>I FEEL LIKE I’M IN LIMBO. Not to mention I’ll have to wait for the decision once I submit an appeal…Sorry, I’ve just never been this devastated before–be glad it’s not happening to you :)</p>

<p>visit the website above and email Ms. Sun…she specializes in UCLA/UCB admissions n all that and would be more than willing to give you some tips.</p>

<p>Retaining a lawyer is a good first step. It’ll also be much easier to resolve this when you are at the office of admissions in person.</p>

<p>It doesn’t sound like a coherent, logical explanation for your revoked status has been offered to you by anyone, which is ironically an encouraging thing. Don’t worry about what might happen in the next couple of days. If worst comes to worst, you can just take a gap year doing volunteer work overseas and reapply to all those other schools. You have your entire life in front of you and being rescinded from UCLA won’t change that. Do the best with what you have.</p>

<p>ohman, that sucks!!! im sorry that this is happening to you, quite devastating since you rejected offers from other schools to go to ucla :(</p>

<p>but i still dont understand why your admission got revoked. If you got 2 C’s then your overall gpa must have been lower than 3.0 ??? I hope everything works out for you someway or another.</p>

<p>“then I had <em>another</em> emergency that I would prefer not to discuss spring semester that is VERY serious.” </p>

<p>I’m unclear what this means? Did you have a disciplinary issue during the spring semester? It seems that UCLA must have a fairly strong reason to rescind you. I don’t think you’re being entirely honest with us.</p>

<p>Yeah…I don’t find UCLA to be that unfair. They must have had some good (or at least reasonable) reason to rescind you, and you must have some idea what that reason or those reasons is/are.</p>

<p>I don’t think UCLA will rescind people unless they truly have to. There have been so many people that violated the provisional contract, but was still given a chance by UCLA to do better. So I highly doubt that they will rescind you if you didn’t do anything wrong.
Like OaksMom said, what exactly have you done for the ‘emergency’? When UCLA said ‘You are not at the same academic status you were at when we admitted you’, they mean a lot of things: academic grades (which I guess it’s not an issue here), academic integrity, honesty, etc. So did you do something that violated maybe your school’s integrity and honesty policy, or did you get into a fight, or trouble with authorities, or something?</p>

<p>You’re given a provisional contract that you must fulfill in order to be admitted. I’ve heard of people that have gotten below a 3.0 GPA but after explaining their situation, were still allowed to enroll at UCLA. This is completely UCLA’s call and they have every right to revoke their provisional acceptance either way though. The legal route will probably be a fruitless route, but you’ve got nothing to lose at this point it seems. Other colleges will also review your senior record and revoke admissions if they deem appropriate so the other colleges may have/ probably would have ended up reacting in the same way.</p>

<p>There must be something serious about what you are not saying but keep alluding to that is key to this whole picture</p>

<p>you have to admit though, it IS a contract that YOU signed. If you dont fulfill the things that were said on the contract, then they have every right to revoke you. It must have been something serious for them to even rescind you in the first place. But I’m still unclear on what that “emergency” that you fail to mention is- of course it is up to you if you want to share or what not, but dont think ucla would be unfair to anyone.</p>

<p>I had an illness and was put on medication. Usually that’s not somethign you put out in the open.</p>

<p>Three deaths in my immediate family, and dealing with depression and psychologists and medication. That’s all. There is no federal crime involved here.</p>

<p>90star90! i feel for you! and i’m not very religious, but i’m praying for you too! :slight_smile: you’ll make it, okay? i have a little suggestion… just a suggestion- umm… don’t really get the whole legal deal on. you know- if you do tell UCLA about what happened, and why your grades fell and everything- they WILL understand. go on campus- talk to the admissions director, the dean of your faculty! do everything! there’s NO reason they shouldn’t take you back!! you’re good and you’re not responsible for what happened to you- just SHOW them that!! and show them that this whole thing made you strong and that it made you grow as a person… it’ll all be alright! :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: <em>cheers for 90star90</em></p>

<p>and for the others- gee… c’mon guys! at least be supportive instead of alleging that she’s a criminal, for crying out loud! it’s a crisis situation for her- and she needs support and advice and encouragement, not allegations!! we’ll get her through this, okay? GOOO BRUINS!!</p>

<p>oh- and 90star90, how about getting a letter from your psychologists about how well you’ve been coping with it all… like they’ll definitely do it if you tell them how much it matters to you! (and obviously it does… it’s your college admission!!) :slight_smile: go go go! :)</p>

<p>I’m sorry to hear about your loss. Your best bet is to continue trying to talk to them. You don’t have any legal basis from which to argue and I think if you open up that can of worms, that legal action will be the quickest way to having UCLA slam shut whatever hopes you have remaining. Talk to them in person and hope for the best</p>

<p>Okay so you had those very extreme events happen in your life. That’s terrible, I’m sorry for your loss. </p>

<p>But that still doesn’t explain why they’d rescind you. I mean as far as I recall, being depressed and seeing a psychologist does not violate the terms of the contract.</p>

<p>So unless you violated the contract, I still don’t see how they could have rescinded you…</p>

<p>But like other people have said, if you did get below a 3.0 senior year GPA or something, if you explain your situation (and include evidence) then maybe they’ll understand.</p>
