<p>hi
i have a 3.8 (uc gpa) sat 1800
3 yrs of sports n lots of E.C
i have taken 5 AP’s and 3 honors
got denied by UCD,UCSB,UCI,UCSD only got into UCR,UCSC
i want to appeal, b/c my mother has a really bad health condition, she has a paralyzed leg, so i want to stay close to here so i can at least take care of she when she needs me.
but the thing is i have received 2 C’s my senior yr 1st semester
i was on the border line for the 2 AP’s I was taking, I missed 2 weeks of school before the final and failed all the finals, so i ended up w/2 79.5%
this is probably going to lower my chances even more : (
i still cant believe i didnt get into uci, sb nor davis… oh…well</p>
<p>what did u get on the APs?</p>
<p>you have an okay chance, but your SAT is on the low side.</p>
<p>Write about why you didnt do very well on those finals and any awards you’ve won recently</p>
<p>What is your major?</p>
<p>This is definitely a good reason to appeal. Unless you are pre-engineer major, that SAT is fine. It doesn’t help that you got two C’s, though. I say still go for it.</p>
<p>go for it. Your stats are better than mine and I got in the school last year. You definitely have a good reason to stay close to home so try more UCs. Its ok to appeal all the UCs because you never know if Davis will actually accept your appeal</p>
<p>seems like a worthy argument to me… you should totally take the chance. good luck :)</p>
<p>I don’t see anything about Davis appeals on their site, sans a small link near the bottom of a page:
[UC</a> Davis :: Non-Admitted Students](<a href=“http://admissions.ucdavis.edu/admissions/fr_nonadmitted.cfm]UC”>Undergraduate Admissions | UC Davis)</p>
<p>Which sends me through a login screen. It doesn’t like me much, though, as it states how I cannot create an account if I am not a student at Davis.</p>
<p>Go for it man/woman !!
i am crossing my fingers so that you can get in. =)</p>
<p>also ask collegemom16 if you need any help
she’s really helpful. =) </p>
<p>good luck</p>
<p>ShockME: you have to login in to view the appeal process. Only nonadmitted students can see it</p>
<p>i don’t think the 2 C’s matter. a lot of UC’s don’t care about senior grades and don’t consider it when you appeal. But i don’t know UCD’s policy specifically. you have a good shot</p>
<p>I have heard of people that have got in after being denied the first time.</p>
<p>Let them tell you no. Not yourself =)</p>
