<p>Anyone appealing UCLA? I can help.</p>
<p>Kevintech:
Can you really?
please help me, is the process very complicated?</p>
<p>I need help too</p>
<p>We are just sad, aren't we.. T.T</p>
<p>Just got rejected from UCLA. AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH</p>
<p>Stats? Planning to appeal?</p>
<p>3.77 econ, igetc +prereqs done, no tap</p>
<p>ill appeal if i get rejected to berkeley.</p>
<p>Just some advice: the earlier you appeal, the better.</p>
<p>Whats your #1 choice?</p>
<p>Berkeley, but not by much. Id be equally happy to go to both.</p>
<p>I will start the appeals process today.</p>
<p>I hope Cal rejects me and gives my seat to someone who really really wants to go to Cal.</p>
<p>kevin i will be IMing you tonight about the appeal!</p>
<p>3.70 Econ/Int'l studies IGETC, require done. no tap.</p>
<p>"Id be equally happy to go to both."
-Same here. but since LA rejected me I just assume I don't have chance fo CAL</p>
<p>By the way, Does any one know the percentage of appealing acceptance?</p>
<p>They say it's about 10%. I think it's higher than that. Or maybe a bunch of really dumb people appeal.</p>
<p>wow I can't believe that you guys are getting rejected. sorry to hear that.</p>
<p>Rejected from UCLA. I thought I had a good chance that I'd get into either Cal, UCLA or both, but now I have my doubts about Cal as well.</p>
<p>Econ Major
3.78 GPA
Doing last pre-req class this semester
Doing last IGETC class this semester.
4.0 in all completed pre-reqs.</p>
<p>"After careful review" I just found out that UCLA can kiss my ass!!! REJECTED</p>
<p>Got into UCSB, waiting to hear from CAL and UCSD.</p>
<p>I think I'll go pee on the seat in a UCLA bathroom, that should help me cope ;-)</p>
<p>politrix, our stats are the same, WHAT HAPPENED?!. Do you count calc1 and calc2 as a pre-req for econ? I think that is what screwed me over as I had B's in both.</p>
<p>Major psyc
Gpa 3.97
Igetc completed school doesn't have tap
missing 2 prereqs on application</p>
<p>I'm starting my appeal to ucla because I made an error on the application.
I was unaware that a high school chem class fulfilled a missing pre-req so I failed to note its completion on my application.</p>
<p>So far I've requested my sealed high school transcript and printed out a copy of my summer class schedule, that philosophy will fulfill my final missing pre-req for my major which is psychology. As other psych majors will know the requirements are really different for each uc and my school advised me to fulfill berkeley's requirements because they are the most strict, which I want to put in my appeal to explain why the one prereq wasn't completed.</p>
<p>When I applied to UC's I never thought seriously about going to school in so cal and applied to ucla because "it was just a click" but after visiting the school in April I fell in love. There weren't any late start philosophy classes so I decided I'd take it over the summer so I could focus on upper division. I want to include this information as well to explain why the one pre-req still won't completed by the spring, what do you guys think? I think/hope I have a good shot because I have a good gpa (3.97)</p>
<p>*** But what I really want to know is if letters of recommendation need to be sealed as well. And any advise on what I should have my teachers write about they want to know what would help me the most but I'm really not sure.</p>
<p>Also for EC I've started working on a research project at the oakland zoo, observing primates that are going through behavioral therapy and taking Psychiatric medication, as well as hearing from speakers like Kim Peak, an autistic savant (the real Rainman) and Jeff Bell who wrote the book "Rewind, Replay, Repeat" about his experiences with OCD. I wanted to write about my experiences but I'm not sure if its adding too much, what do you think.</p>
<p>How long are your appeal letters going to be?</p>
<p>
I don't understand people wanting to waste a whole year just go try for UCLA again. I hope you people know that companies will question you about something like this when your going in for an interview. They will ask you why it took you 5 years to graduate from a 4 year program (with exceptions for certains technical majors such as engineering). If it takes you 5 years to graduate and you aren't double majoring, that's a red flag for recruiters. If you didn't get into UCLA so what, just go to another school. Don't put your education on hold for a year just so you can get another shot at admission.
</p>
<p>That's garbage.</p>
<p>You know there are people that go back to school after personal hardship or finanical difficulties, making it take them 7-8 or even more years to graduate with a 4-year degree. What you just said was a HUGE generalization, and I'm certain that taking an extra year to finish up requirements or boost a GPA will be worth it to graduate with a UCLA degree as opposed to a UCR or UCSC degree. Waiting a year to finish up requirements will not make you lose at life.</p>
<p>You must be a bitter, lonely individual.</p>
<p>Mellowcrazy, you seem to have a strong appeal. Make sure you send it in a nice manila envelope, and make sure its printed on nice, glossy, unfolded paper. Keep it as business professional as possible.</p>
<p>That's good to know, I wasn't sure if it should be more personable like the original essay, or if it should be more straight to the point. What about formating and headings? I feel like I could write a good letter I'm afraid of messing up when it comes to the placement of dates and contact info.</p>
<p>Do we need to include any of our id numbers in the letter? And would that go in the text or as a heading somewhere?</p>
