SDSU Appeals Fall 2018

@cat420, nope not yet. Emailed SDSU admissions about 10 days ago asking whether my package was recieved and still waiting on an answer.

Hey @cat420 so SDSU finally got back to me today around 2pm and told me they have recieved my appeal package and transcript from my college. The wait begins…

@xpeachpie - how long did it take them to get back to you? Were they responding to a communication from you asking for status or did you just get an unsolicited email? Was also wondering if there was any change in your portal status from denied to appeal pending? Sorry so many questions!

@rottgrrl, It took them about 10 business days to get back to me. They were responding to an email I personally sent them. Normally I know they’ll send you an email saying that they received your package, but I wanted to email them myself confirming they have everything they needed from me. There is no change on my portal status. From reading the past appeal posts on here, your portal status doesn’t usually change unless your appeal was approved. No worries about all the questions!

@xpeachpie thank you! I emailed them seperately too a couple days ago so hopefully I hear back soon

@cat420, good luck!!! lmk what happens in the months to come.

has anyone received a decision yet?

I called today and they said my appeal was complete and was received April 5th and it currently under review

@cat420, no not yet.

@Cat420 - not yet. Have not called or received any follow up email either, but sent appeal docs by trackable mail, so I know they were received. In meantime, daughter committed to enrollment at SJSU. Crossing fingers that SDSU comes through. Unfortunately, SDSU has a history of denying even overly qualified students from my daughter’s high school (we are in the Los Angeles area). Don’t know what is up with that. :frowning: Still hopeful…

Got the official email yesterday, kind of nervous because they said they got a lot of appeals so it’ll take 6 weeks to respond ! Hopefully they just say that every year

@Cat420 hi I sent my appeal on April 18th and I haven’t heard back that they received it… how long did it take for u to get an email that they received it?

@Highhistoryhopes my package arrive to sdsu on march 27th, but it wasn’t received until April 5th. However, I got the email on April 23rd that it was complete, even though it was received earlier than that

I submitted an appeal March 1st and heard back today. They admitted me! I was not expecting that.

@dartz13 congratulations!! May I ask your major and the basis of your appeal?

@Cat420 Thanks. My major is Computer Engineering. Here is my basis of my appeal: I am an out of state student wanting to transfer. I have 101 credits with a 2.99 overall GPA. I come from rural Alaska and had to overcome educational hurdles due to less opportunity/resources compared to urban schools and state cutbacks to our University of Alaska system which is why my GPA has taken a dip and why I want to transfer. I am also hoping that being an Alaska Native would also help since I am a minority.

That’s awesome :slight_smile: @dartz13 did u receive a letter in the mail or just check the portal?

@dartz13 congrats on getting accepted off your appeal. I’m still waiting to hear back for my status.

does anything change for your portal or do u just get an email?

@cat420 That happens every year. SDSU had a system this year where their “early acceptance” was solely based on an SAT and ACT score (meaning if you had that or above, you got in). More people rescinded this year than any year at SDSU, which is why it is important to be hopeful.
