<p>How does it work for most colleges? Specifically the UCs. In the sad event I don't get accept to either of my top 2 choices I would not hesitate to appeal. Do you usually have to write an essay or can showing evidence of substantive work (like a newspaper article about your acts in the community).</p>
<p>Honestly, I wouldn’t appeal if you were outright rejected. If you were waitlisted, then I would write them a little letter saying you’re still very interested and you’re sad you didn’t make it but the school will always be your top choice.</p>
