Help on appeal to ucsb

<p>Hello! I was just rejected from UCSB yesterday, my dream school.
My non weighted gpa is about a 3.8, and right now I have a 4.5 for this semester.
My SAT was an 1800, and ACT was a 26.
My ec's include: volunteering at an animal shelter, animal hospital, and aquarium over the last four years, cross country for 4 years (and captain this year), track, swimming, participating in my school's drama program, photographer's assistant for many years, 5 ap classes over the last 2 years and some honors classes.</p>

<p>I really really need help in writing an appeal to this school! This is my dream school and I will do anything to get in! </p>

<p>Does anyone have any successful appeals?
THANK YOU</p>
