<p>Other Factors:
General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc:</p>

<p>r31ncarnat3d - there should be a link on the page that gave you the rejection notice telling you how to address an appeal and the grounds under which it can be filed.</p>

<p>Decision: ACCEPTED</p>

<p>:D</p>

<p>csboy1 - SAT IIs are added to the SAT I or ACT scores in the UCD formula to accept or reject. </p>

<p>Also, killer essays useful only if they flagged some valuable attribute that is credited in the UCD admissions approach. Otherwise, Hemingway could be rejected and an illiterate accepted since essay quality is not a factor for this school. Now, Cal and UCLA are another matter entirely, your essay will clearly help there.</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted</p>
