<p>u really are ignorant. i answered that question way back. and dont make ur own assumptions about the admissions process. i hope u never work for an admissions department, coz you’d be really unfair.</p>
<p>reach for some popcorn…sit back…and refresh page…</p>
<p>this should be a good one</p>
<p>nah… i’m done. </p>
<p>nba playoffs, 25 cent wings and $2 beers at Soup’s.</p>
<p>"And yeah, GPA isn’t everything but don’t brush it off as an insignificant part of your app that can be overlooked just because of “your situation” either. "</p>
<p>-I kind of agree. How many people have false hope that their “situation” will be enough for admission officers to overlook their low GPA? What about all the people in the exact same “situation” with stellar GPA’s? (This wasn’t directed towards anybody in particular)</p>
<p>-“It’s illogical 99% of the time!” </p>
<p>-How can you say that? I dont understand your logic…:)</p>
<p>I have better things to do than get in an Internet flame war, which is beyond me anyway.</p>
<p>I don’t know what’s with the name calling. Maybe I got a little out of line after pepper thought I was talking down on him, but it wasn’t my intention to provoke him.</p>
<p>It’s just, you guys are all seeing things from a different perspective. I’m sure any of those guys in that biz econ rejected thread can understand, but I’m not gonna force it on any of you. So sorry if you were offended pepper.</p>
<p>^^ now THAT’S an appeal! :D:D</p>
<p>first of all, im not a guy, so stop calling me him.</p>
<p>secondly, i’ve seen the biz econ thread… and might i remind u that UCLA had thousands of rejected students, and accepted students…</p>
<p>these threads have about ~70-80 rejected students, and about 120-150 accepted. dont judge the entire admissions on what u see here. please.</p>
<p>Amazing. Even when I try to apologize, you still come off as defensive and rude.</p>
<p>Whatever, just forget I said anything.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Did you talk about your mother’s situation in your personal statement originally?</p>
<p>i didnt. i just wrote, “i had to change schools due to family conditions”</p>
<p>wish I could help, but I am so bad with appeals myself >< …but it looks like it’s on the right rack ^___^</p>
<p>peppamint, this is more of a typo and i don’t know if anyone pointed it out to you already but:</p>
<p>you said “family means more than anything to BE” you probably meant “me” right? and sorry about your family. this is really touching.</p>
<p>thanks aaam…i realize the little mistakes in there, but like i said , its only a draft of what i sent.</p>
<p>i was looking for more of the context, the details that i mentioned. a little feedback on that, if it was convincing or not, but i guesspeople misunderstood me.</p>
<p>but i appreciate ur feedback thank u =)</p>
<p>Good luck for your appeal. Whether it is convincing or not, the most important thing is that you give the fact on what happened to you. When I read this, somehow I feel a bit overwhelmed. I really value your perseverance and passion to turn a discouraging situation into a positive exuberance. </p>
<p>You already have strong evidences, but I suggest you to organize all ideas into substantial paragraphs so that it looks more convincing when the ideas are all flowing. Regarding your grammatical/sentence structure, hope you can have a chance to let someone else proofread (probably English learning center tutor?). </p>
<p>Whether it works or not, I see this as an effort. At least you have done your best, and this would only happen once in your lifetime. Go ahead! I support you. Good luck!</p>
<p>thanks UC88… that means a lot. =) </p>
<p>and thanks for the advice as well.</p>
<p>peppamintt, you’ll get in. next year, you + me + all the other CC’ers are going to have a party… at pinker’s room! </p>
<p>;)</p>
<p>haha… that sounds good to me. as long as pinker isnt still annoyed by my thread and lets me come =P</p>
<p>Peppamint ain’t gettin’ in anywheres. She might as well have done applied to UCN.</p>
<p>jerry LOL kid</p>
<p>good luck peppamintt.</p>
