<p>^It won't make them hurry up any. They've had my appeal for over 4 weeks and I still haven't heard anything...I think the 3 weeks was just a basic guideline. </p>
<p>I don't understand your basis for appeal. Is the NROTC (I don't even know what that means) through UCLA? If not, then it doesn't make sense to appeal because you might be able to go somewhere else and do something else but really wanted to go to UCLA.</p>
<p>Sorry I forgot to say. It is Navy reserve officer training corps, and I was ASSIGNED to the unit at UCLA. The scholarship is valid ONLY for UCLA since i put it down as my #1 choice on the nrotc app. You can transfer it, but It is a hard process and I didn't get into anywhere else besides UCSB, so if I don't get into UCLA with this appeal than I lose the full-ride scholarship.</p>
<p>I am still waiting for UCLA to get back to me on my appeal.</p>
<p>At this point I dont really think they're going to accept any appeals...they should just tell us there are no more spaces at UCLA instead of keeping us waiting. I think the people who already got accepted on appeals are going to be the only ones. I think it's kinda crappy to keep us waiting.</p>
<p>I can picture the adcoms sitting around eating donuts, with a big stack of appeals on the table...</p>
<p>don't give up hope. anything is possible.</p>
<p>Well think of it this way, everyone: if they were going to reject you straight away, they would have done it when they first recieved your appeal. There must be some hope, or you wouldn't be kept waiting.</p>
<p>no word yet for me guys... any updates for you today?</p>
<p>No news for me. However, my friend found out his appeal got shot down today.</p>
<p>aw i'm sorry for your friend :[
what was his basis of appeal, any idea?</p>
<p>im in the same boat as u guys
this is driving me crazy
i appealed to berkeley, and got in..but i was thinking i really wanted to go there, but sadly i changed my mind
i really do hope i get in, im thinking the longer it takes the better
mine has been over 3 weeks as well
hopefully we will all get in, if there are tons of spots left from people who didn't plan to go there
good luck:]</p>
<p>nothing new here either,</p>
<p>but as valuable as optimism is, remember that waitinginagony's friend was rejected as late as today as well</p>
<p>ugghh still nothing</p>
<p>Well, his basis of appeal wasn't a very strong reason. He just stated the reasons why he wants to go to UCLA and why he felt he should have been admitted. But he's made his peace with UCSD after some consoling.</p>
<p>ohh ok. well while ucla is a disappointment, he'll love ucsd. awesome school! :) best of luck to your friend. oh ps, one other question, do you happen to know when he sent in his appeal?</p>
<p>and to add to starrynights question, how was he informed, online decision site or letter?</p>
<p>I believe he sent it in on the 6th. So, that makes just a little bit more than a month? And he found out through the online decision site.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Maybe you're right. I was rejected today.</p>
<p>aw filabusta, i'm so sorry. :[ jeez they've kept you hanging long enough. i still haven't gotten word either... and i sent mine in on the 9th. where are you all SIRed to go?</p>
<p>I reluctantly SIRed to UCSB, but I'm most likely not attending, just wanted to save my spot incase I changed my mind. I am leaning towards attending a community college, I'm a home-body, and don't want to move out (atypical, I know, heh).</p>
