<p>so what happened to the kid? lol</p>
<p>seriously…not sure how a 730 Math SAT 2 app also pulls "C"s in actual classwork.</p>
<p>that is what sunk him, imo.</p>
<p>“I have 2 D’s this semester in CC” </p>
<p>that says it all.</p>

<p>UCs do not consider race.</p>
<p>Your stats were about average for the school and they are taking fewer freshmen this year due to the budget crisis. So in all honesty, your bad for considering it a safety and not applying to other schools, especially those where being Hispanic is a hook.</p>
<p>So I very much doubt an appeal to UCI will help. Your choice is to go to a CC and transfer in 2 years are a school you get into now. In most states you would not have the luxury of the choice and second chance at a top tier school, so fell lucky.</p>
<p>Search the forums, there are a few, but only a few who have won appeals.
You don’t have to wait 2 years to transfer, many do so in year one, just get excellent grades (which isn’t easy first term freshman).</p>
<p>You need 60 credits to transfer to a UC.</p>
<p>For those who don’t know the average stats for UCs, here they are but expect them to go up this year:</p>

<p>lol, just get 40+ credits for advance standing with APs and dual-enrollment, etc. then loadup on 20 credits and transfer after a semester.</p>
<p>I would attend a community college and transfer after 2 years to a UC. The CC system in CA is great.</p>
