<p>i called UCLA and the reason why i got rejected was “Too Competitive”</p>
<p>My major was Econ and the average admitted gpa is above 3.87 this year</p>
<p>and they said i had 3.82 gpa and all preq and IGETC done but gpa is lower than average</p>
<p>i am waiting for the Cal decision…i hope they will accept me</p>
<p>@kghboy53- did you have tap?</p>
<p>@sandaboy- I’m shooting for Friday at the latest. My accounting professor who I’ve written two honors papers for is writing me a letter for rec and my English professor told me to come to his office Monday, so he can help me work on my appeal.</p>
<p>I would appeal, but don’t get your hopes up.</p>
<p>"Hello everyone!</p>
<p>I’m glad to be a part of the appeal process with all of you </p>
<p>For my reason of appeal, see:
LOL at the reason I got rejected, THIS IS RIDICULOUS!</p>
<p>I have more to say than just the prereq thing though.</p>
<p>I wish all of you the best and hope we keep eachother posted! "</p>
<p>OK sandboy, we get it. You were rejected because you did not finish your prereqs…</p>
<p>No TAP…</p>
<p>My stats:
Psych Major
4.0 GPA
IGETC complete
TAP
Gold Presidential award for service learning
over 300 hours volunteer work in the psychology field
Coca-Cola All-State Academic Team
PTK All-California Academic Team

involvement in 2 honors societies on campus
A Part-time job at a Behavioral Heath office
All major prep requirements…except one.</p>
<p>When I was planning my schedule to work for UCLA, they accepted high school chemistry in lieu of college chemistry or physics. Apparently this year they decided to change it. Of course, nobody informed me, including a counselor at my school who I checked with to make sure everything was complete. </p>
<p>Ugh. Really? I got into UCSD but since I didn’t plan my academics around them, I have 14 classes I need to complete before I can even start on my major. Or I could change my major, but if I wanted to do that, I would have before trying to get into UCLA on an impacted major. </p>
<p>Well…the appeal is in. I included a pretty significant obstacle I overcame that I didn’t really want to talk about, but whatever. My 2 letters of recommendation rock, as did my appeal letter. </p>
<p>Does anyone know how significantly this one missing class will be in relation to everything else?</p>
<p>Can they make an appeals FAQ sticky already?</p>
<p>@ smartyskirt: UCLA psych is just snubbing great applicants left and right! Yes, the chem and physics from high school should work toward that requirement. I remember reading that on assist.org. I think your appeal will go through…unless they really care THAT much about 1 missing prereq. I understand your situation, and you’re right - those hs courses should work.</p>
<p>I would be in the same situation, but I decided to go premed last semester and am in chem…Ironically I no longer want to go to med school. Oh well lol.</p>
<p>They actually changed it this year! I was under the same impression, but I checked assist.org and they don’t count your HS Chemistry anymore! ):! Maybe too much paperwork.</p>
<p>UCLA has received my appeal!</p>
<p>Dear *******: </p>
<p>We have received your letter asking that we reconsider our admission decision for Fall Quarter 2010. We are in the process of reviewing your record again.</p>
<p>If your name and contact information listed above is incorrect, please notify us. </p>

<p>^ good luck :)</p>
<p>this year CC’ers have been beating the statistics, you will be one of them too!!!</p>
<p>@SMC guy</p>
<p>Did you get that via email? I sent mine next day air on wednesday (28th) and haven’t heard anything back from them…</p>
<p>i haven’t gotten my update either on the admissions page.
is it a problem that i didn’t mail it to the zipcode 90095-1436?
I just mailed it to 90095 cuz thats the zipcode of LA.</p>
<p>But it seems that UCLA needs it formatted that special way. crazy school. should i resend it?</p>
<p>I handed in my appeal to the office of undergraduate admissions last friday and mine hasn’t been updated yet either, I think they are just a little behind</p>
<p>ok thanks ^</p>
<p>good luck with ur appeal :D</p>
<p>finally got rejected today. i’m devastated, i honestly didn’t think i wouldn’t be going to ucla next year! i have to re-plan out my entire life now. 
</p>
<p>but hm, appealing is definitely worth a shot. i applied as econ with a 3.74 (ONE B in a stinky calc class), finished TAP and everything. Is it true that winter session classes don’t count as new info? because that brought my gpa up to a 3.8. and i was also wondering if winning in a best essays contest would have any effect cause i’m an econ major.</p>
<p>good luck on your appeal guys. I am questing a question for a friend of mine.
He’s applying for Bus-econ with one missing pre-reqs of Calc 2. Do you think appealing will worth trying? thanks!</p>
<p>@ itsyouitsme</p>
<p>a missing prereq for business econ is fatal…appealing won’t help…sorry</p>
<p>@nothing<em>at</em>all I felt exactly the same way…I was already ready to go apartment hunting after doing a bunch of research in the area, had a part-time major related job available…but there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. I can’t tell you how devistated I was, but it actually turned out for the better for me.</p>
<p>@smartyskirt01 I didn’t get an email. I logged in about three days after mailing my appeal letter (First class from LA) and saw the message. I called admisions and they told me it would take two-three weeks for a decision. The rep also said I should only check my status once a day at the most, after 5pm. Appeal acceptance is only 3% so I’m not holding my breath.</p>
