<p>I’ve heard of a lot of people who don’t get into UCLA but get into Cal! You should be fine!</p>
<p>@Wwelike: Of course. UCLA is the most selective university in the country (in terms of the percentage of its applicants that it accepts.) UCB might be a higher ranked school, but it admits a higher percentage of its applicants than UCLA does. </p>
<p>So yes, you still have a fighting chance at UCB.</p>
<p>I am looking forward to UC Berkeley’s decision. Hopefully, I will be able to be accepted. Good luck to those of you who plan to appeal!</p>
<p>Good luck! God bless us all!</p>
<p>@grimes- UCLA is not the most selective university, it is the most popular university- it receives the most applicants. For transfer admissions, UCLA actually accepts a higher percentage of applicants than UCB.</p>

<p>@caroll: Not that I’ve met! I know a couple, but most drink low fat.</p>
<p>nonfat is gross. whole milks the way to go.</p>
<p>@grimes…yeah canta is right, Cal is actually more selective…</p>
<p>can anyone give me advice on writing an appeal for UCLA’s Design Media Arts program? I called UCLA to ask why I got rejected and they told me to contact the DMA program specifically to ask about appeals and rejection. I got this e-mail today </p>
<p>"Per the guidelines on the UCLA online application, a letter of appeal is sent directly to the Undergraduate Admissions Office. Please note that the Design | Media Arts department received many more applications than there are spaces available. In this extremely competitive environment, many talented and successful applicants are not recommended for admission. "</p>
<p>I know that some people get rejected for GPA or pre-reqs and when they write appeals they mention that their GPA has improved since they applied or something else that has changed/improved since they applied. But the reason this person gives me here is very general. I’m guessing my portfolio wasn’t up to par with their standards considering the limited spots and high expectations as a result of those limited acceptances. I’m not sure how I should approach writing the appeal. Any advice?</p>
<p>Based on my experiences, it would be beneficial to complete your prerequisites. Unfortunately, like I previously said, I was told that I would not penalized if my college did not offer the prerequisites for my major. I did call UCLA yesterday, and that appeared to be the reason why I was not offered admissions. I strongly encourage those who are planning to apply to complete them.</p>
<p>Okay, I’m not really reviving an old thread, but I just would want to point out that Poli Sci (External’s major) is impacted at UCLA. </p>
<p>I have prereqs that aren’t offered at my CC (EVC as well) but are offered elsewhere. However, my major isn’t impacted. Will it affect me or not?</p>
<p>iZychr: Glad to hear that you attend EVC! Based on my experience, I would highly recommend you completing your prerequisites, regardless of whether your major is impacted or not.</p>
<p>^
Yeah, that’s why I’m looking at West Valley College just to knock out a single prereq. </p>
<p>Did you take English 1C? With who?</p>
