~**Official UCLA 2009 Appeals Thread**~

<p>Will UCLA has decision before May 1?</p>

<p>i doubt it…</p>

<p>rbk: It is a legit method. It’s as fair as the students getting in through athletic scholarships.
[edit] It’s not like, “Oh, I know the band director or someone who knows the band director. I can bribe my way in.” They still need to audition and qualify for band. </p>

<p>Brayz: They didn’t last year.
You’ll know soon enough. But, prepare an alternative plan just in case.</p>

<p>i’m hoping we get an answer around AP testing time.</p>

<p>mine was declined</p>

<p>“haha wow UCSD and UCSC are 2 totally different schools…howd u make that mistake?” [rbkhoops21]</p>

<p>Yes they are totally different schools, but if you’re familiar with a standard keyboard, the “S” and “D” keys are right next to each other. I simply made a typo. =P</p>

<p>go4me, sorry to know about your decline. how did they decline it (on your page or via postal mail). where are you sir’ing now?</p>

<p>finally somebody hears back. although it was bad news :[ i’m sorry, go4me.</p>

<p>“Yes they are totally different schools, but if you’re familiar with a standard keyboard, the “S” and “D” keys are right next to each other. I simply made a typo. =P”</p>

<p>I picked up on the fact the typo due to the proximity of the keys, but I think you mean ‘c’ not ‘s.’ xD
Also, I like how I’ve just made a bigger deal out of this small issue. Heh, heh.</p>

<p>Also, sorry to hear that go4me.</p>

<p>spiral: I highly, HIGHLY doubt they would waste that much paper mailing out all the rejections.</p>

<p>I e-mailed admissions, they said they’d be posting the decision on the online decision site</p>

<p>ninjashayna: lol</p>

<p>and sorry go4me but how did you hear?</p>

<p>ns2675: when did they say they would?</p>

<p>All they said in their e-mail was this:
"Hello,</p>

<p>The appeal decisions will be available at the decision site. Applicants will access their decision just as they did when reviewing it for the first time."</p>

<p>I recieved that e-mail on the 28th, my decision still isn’t up yet. I looked through some threads from last year, and it seems like most of the decisions were posted around mid-May.</p>

<p>“I picked up on the fact the typo due to the proximity of the keys, but I think you mean ‘c’ not ‘s.’ xD
Also, I like how I’ve just made a bigger deal out of this small issue. Heh, heh.”</p>

<p>Ahahaha, rofl you’re right. I mean the “C” and “D” keys (not S and D) are right next to each other and I made a typo… man me and my typos.</p>

<p>i have a gut feeling people are going to start hearing back this week.</p>

<p>i checked my status today for ucla appeals and it said it’s reevaluating it again. the first time i checked it, the date said 4/28 and whenever i checked it the date didnt change until i checked it yesterday, and it changed to 5/2, saying it’s being reevaluated again. and then i checked it today and the date changed again to 5/3… could it possibly mean something ? that its like passed through different stages or something?</p>

<p>ahh i wish it means i’m gona be getting some good news soon…</p>

<p>No - date changes to the date you open the page. We have been checking our appeal daily since April 7 and the date changes everyday to the date we open the page. Tomorrow the date on the page will be 05-04-09 and so on…good luck…we all should hear something in the next two weeks - hopefully this week.</p>

<p>I know its a long shot but i think it was worth it. im a poli sci major with a major gpa of 3.8 and an overall of 3.38, will be igetc certified after spring and have completed all preparatory requirements for my major. </p>

<p>After I applied i was hired by a CA state assemblyman to be their field representative, usually an entry level job for poli sci majors who have already graduated, i wrote in my letter that by attending ucla, i can offer a new and strong perspective of how politics is practiced in the frontlines by sharing it in the classroom discourse. i also reiterated that i will excel because i have demonstarted exemplar grades in curriculum that makes up most of my remaining coursework. </p>

<p>i have to letters of rec, one from the state assemblyman, and one from the poli sci department chair at my college. obviously my boss gave me a great rec, but my prof said i was the best student he had ever had. </p>

<p>what do you all think?</p>

<p>sounds good. wait are you transfer student?</p>

<p>yes i am a transfer student</p>
