~**Official UCLA 2009 Appeals Thread**~

<p>emrld: where did u hear about appealing twice? how did they do that? did they mail them again?</p>

<p>uchopeful: my friend got it, filled it out, and didn’t get in.</p>

<p>@banananana3</p>

<p>I believe something may be wrong with your account–that happened to one of my friends (well, she realized she had been using the wrong city the whole time) and she called the office and they told her that they never received her appeals. You should call them ASAP.</p>

<p>determined: a friend told me that her friend got into Davis once he appealed the 2nd time. I vaguely heard of it before but never thought it was true. But i dont know if it applies to LA. I tried looking into but it doesnt seem to be a very common thing and i dont know the guy well enough to ask how he did it.</p>

<p>ahh! the wait is killing me.</p>

<p>submitted mine april 17th
I just want to know already!!!
By the way i sire’d to uc irvine</p>

<p>@ alicia
I don’t think it has anything to do w/ whether they received my appeal…
It’s not a big deal but I’m just curious why the city of birth doesn’t matter.</p>

<p>Rejected on Tuesday. I’m happy. I liked UCSD after I visited it.
I’ll be going there.
:]</p>

<p>Good luck to those waiting.</p>

<p>haha I SIR’ed to SD too.</p>

<p>How does LA go through the appeals? I thought they read them in order but people who have submitted after me have gotten responses.</p>

<p>just got rejected today-again</p>

<p>oh well, SD it is</p>

<p>i’m sorry :[ but SD is the next hardest to get into after ucla, so there must be something special about it :]</p>

<p>^ “but SD is the next hardest to get into after ucla” – It does not necessarily work that way, several high school students that we know of were rejected from UCSD and accepted at UCLA.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>How do you appeal twice? Do you just submit another letter to the appeals office?</p>

<p>^ yeah…i know that. i’m speaking generally, that sd has an admit rate that is pretty low too, so sd has to have it’s positives.</p>

<p>^ Agree - positives in abundance.</p>

<p>“It does not necessarily work that way, several high school students that we know of were rejected from UCSD and accepted at UCLA.”</p>

<p>^Happened to a girl at my school. But she auditioned at UCLA because she’s a music major and she’s a great performer so I’m pretty sure that helped her… she also got accepted to some other prestigious private schools-so she eventually turned down LA.</p>

<p>I haven’t heard back yet and I sent it really early April…</p>

<p>^ it’s okay. beeelieeeeve me, many are still waiting.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’m still waiting too. Hopefully next week.</p>

<p>Regarding ftaiia’s post: Just an FYI: When you apply/audition for UCLA’s theater arts program, you either get in to theater or not, and if not, you’re out and your application does not get deferred to regular admissions, as it might be at other schools (like USC, DePaul). So the fact that she did not get in to UCSD has nothing to do with her UCLA admissions since it was a different process between the 2 schools (UCSD does not have a separate audition for Theater).</p>
