<p>I applied to San Jose but I also applied to UCs and got into the UCs, which is what I was planning to do...but certain circumstances have changed my direction and I have to go SJSU but deal is I did not take communications which is one of the "Golden Four". Is there any chance I can still appeal to SJSU and start for fall semester.</p>
<p>I was sent this message which I took for granted and I guess now it is problem since San Jose is my only option.</p>
