Before I submitted my appeal, I googled for success stories. So I thought I would share. I am a transfer student and I got admitted to Pre-Business Economics. Ask me anything!
Yay congrats !! Were you a transfer student ?? I appealed for gender studies but haven’t heard anything back 
Yes, I was a transfer student.
Congrats!!!
@itakenotes thank you for doing this AMA,
What was your GPA and why were you rejected?
How was the appeal process like?
Anything in particular that you mentioned in your appeal letter that you think might have helped you change their decision?
Again thank you for taking your time out and doing this AMA!
Congrats!!!
@ssnewman My GPA was 3.89 and I think I got rejected because it was lower than the average of 3.95. In the appeal, I just wrote why UCLA would fit me better than other UCs. I think what helped me was the fact that I mentioned how the Thai princess chose UCLA because of the close tie to the Thai community in LA and I would like to follow the path retaining the roots my own heritage.
@itakenotes Thank you for your reply!
