<p>Ok so i was accepted into UCSD but rejected by UCSB which is weird in my opinion...
I know UCSD is a great school, but I feel like UCSB has a good balance of an academic and social life. </p>

<p>Their website says that if you are going to appeal, they recommend that you send in your offical college transcrips and high school transcripts. I was only planning on sending my Official college transcript since I have 72 units with a 3.68 gpa. But my high school gpa was 2.5. So should I only send in my college transcript as I planned, or do you guys think that it might help me if they see the upward trend?</p>

<p>Did you call the school and ask why you were denied? If not, I would highly suggest that being your first step.</p>

<p>are they allowed to give me a reason?</p>

<p>ok so I called them and they said it was because i was missing 2 pre-reqs.
Should I even bother trying to appeal? Has anyone successfully appealed while missing 2 pre-reqs? Because I do have more information that was not put on the application and I could easily write up a compelling appeal essay.</p>
