<p>As some of you may remember, i applied to transfer to UIUC in January and got rejected. I did get accepted to UIC and i plan to go there. However, my dad keeps telling me that i should make one last attempt to get into UIUC for the fall semester. I keep telling him that would be damn near impossible but i told him i would look into it anyway. Here is my situation, please tell me what i can do, if anything.</p>
<p>-I am a white male
-I have 60 credit hours
-My overall GPA is about a 3.2, with a 3.6 this semester
-I have no clubs or volunteer work because i work all the time
-I was rejected about three months ago
-I wanted to get into some LAS program</p>
<p>Again, trust me, I have no confidence that there is anything that I can do but I want to get my dad off my back. But if there is, I will look into it.</p>
<p>you could have appealed, but it would have meant more if you sent it the week after being rejected. Even then, i doubt it would have made a difference.</p>
<p>i appealed after being rejected with a 3.42 from the comm college back in early april, i still havn't gotten anything back, despite the comm college saying i would be notified no matter what they decide on the appeal. I'm not holding my breath, the comm college and the admissions office have proven to me that they are completely unorganized. One says black, the other says white, and so on.</p>
<p>a u of i fairy tale: After being rejected on april 3rd I quickly wrote several drafts for an appeal and sent the final product on april 6th. A few days later, two of my professors who live in the champ/urbana area ( i go to Eastern Illinois U) hand delivered letters of recommendation (i doubt they even read them) to the admissions office. Yesterday, after nearly two months without reply, I decided to update my appeal letter with this semester's grades and fax that. Before i did so, i checked my online status to make sure i hadnt had my appeal officially denied since the last time I had checked it a week ago...</p>

<p>moral: dont take the appeals process lightly. Act fast and show your determination. I've been smiling for the last 12 hours.</p>
