<p>Has anyone tried writing a letter of appeal or done any other means as far as still being admitted for Fall09 with a GPA of 3.3 or lower and lives outside the service area? I'm from San Jose and applied last year for Fall09 and was denied my application due to a GPA of 3.0. I spoke with the admissions office today and they said that the minimum for out of service transfers was a 3.3 which was the reason behind my deniel. I asked if there was anything I could do as far as attending SDSU, and he reccommended me to reapply for Fall2010 but there was no gurantee that the minimum GPA of 3.3 would stay the same if not higher by next year. </p>
<p>I've read through a few threads in here stating that I should just write a letter of appeal. However, I'm not entirely sure if that'll be sufficient. My GPA is still above the minimum 2.60 for Criminal Justice, it's just the out of service minimum that denied my admission. Perhaps I could contact one of the deans in that major and see if they can help me in a way? Has anyone done this or heard of someone writing to a dean? Any ideas please? I just want to do everything I could in trying to still being admitted for Fall09. I'd hate to wait another year and still possibly not be admitted due to "state budgets"</p>
