<p>how do i appeal to uci and ucsd? i was admited to both however rejected them as i chose a private....... can't attend the private anymore.</p>
<p>I would probably contact the admissions office ASAP and explain your situation. Hopefully you have a valid reason as to why you can no longer attend the private. They’ll let you know how to proceed with the appeal or if you can even submit an appeal at this point.</p>
<p>Where do you live and what private is it? The validity of your reason is huge. This happened to a friend and he pretty much told them about how he couldn’t move due to his mother’s “illness” not to mention money. If you tell them “oh I changed my mind” or some other nonsense they will probably just laugh at you.</p>
<p>I would shoot for cost and location. Say the private is just too far (assuming it’s further from you than UCI or UCSD) and that your mom or dad lost their job and you can no longer afford it.</p>
<p>So if he did just change his mind you would suggest crafting a huge ******** lie to mis represent his actual situation. Interesting.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>uh… yeah?</p>
<p>you honestly think you’d do any different in his situation?</p>
<p>(liar)</p>
<p>I would definitely do whatever I had to do, with a few exceptions. However, assuming the appeal is a formal statement (and I truly don’t know if it is) I would definitely not lie. It would be the same as lieing on an application and could be grounds for expulsion. Instead, I would tell the truth in such a way that the official believes it is an issue of hardship.</p>
<p>Making up a story about a sick mother, or that your parents both lost their jobs just seems wrong to me.</p>
<p>if you say your parents lost their jobs the financial aid office is definately going to look into it if they do decide to let you in.</p>
<p>Uh, I’m sure the admissions office will have much better things to do than hunt her parents down. But honestly, ya’ll don’t even know her situation. So maybe her explanation will do justice. As for the lying, if I were in this situation, I’d probably make something up as well. Or exaggerate your situation. Haha.</p>
<p>ok, admittedly, i probably wouldn’t recommend lying about your parents’ financial situation, in any way… but there are easily a thousand other ways to either embellish a situation to the point where it might be considered an acceptable exception or fully create an unprovable and empathetic circumstance in order to justify the change. <~~ that, i would recommend… because our fickle a$$es aren’t always quite so reasonable, and we kind of have to be in order to transcend the bull **** bureaucracy.</p>
