<p>@nydallas‌ </p>

<p>Awesome! It’s good to see OOS applicants get in :smiley: </p>

1443

<p>Considering an appeal:</p>

<p>Rejected with a 4.0 GPA for my major (Political Science) and overall. Finished CCC in 3 semesters and volunteered in West Africa during my extra spring semester. I finished 4 of 5 prerequisite courses for my major, only 4 are required according to assist.org. White, female, grew up in Boston but attended a CCC after high school. </p>

<p>Is it wrong to appeal my case? </p>

<p>@‌ccctouc</p>

<p>Call and ask why you got denied, Did you complete the transferable Stats course? </p>

1445

<p>@ccctouc Did you attend a california community college?</p>

1446

<p>Of those still waiting for a decision, do you think it has to do with last name? Have any of you had to wait and later received a decision? jw if it’s true that they only update once a day.</p>

1447

<p>Does anybody know when those of us with apps still under review can expect to hear something?</p>

1448

<p>Since I was so excited, I forgot to post my stats.</p>

<p>Accepted
Overall GPA: 3.45
Major GPA: 3.45
Major: Chicano Studies
Major Requirements: No
IGETC: Yes
EC: I had no extracurricular activities whatsoever. I was going to lie, but I thought that was unethical.<br>
Personal Essays: I just recycled the one I wrote in high school. I was pretty surprised that I got in, since I wrote about computer science on my personal statement, and I later changed my major after I had already submitted my application. </p>

1449

<p>@Shugahs‌ I wonder what the order was due to. The most basic thing I can think of is last name? I’m a V so yea…</p>

1450

<p>Decision pending… Any psych majors accepted???</p>

1451

<p>Anyone know how the official edu email works? Will the messages display on the myucla website?</p>

<p>rejected…so devastated
Major:Gender Studies
GPA: 3.56
Major GPA:4.0
Major Pre-Reqs: Completed
TAG: Nope, not offered at my school :frowning:
IGETC: Yes! Taking my last math class this semester</p>

<p>EC: Seriously, no time. I work whenever I can.
Accepted: UCSB, SFSU, SJSU, CSUCI, CSUN
Rejected: None
Pending: UCB</p>

<p>Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected (strengths/weaknesses):
I honestly have no idea, I mean my gpa is not as high as the average for UCLA students but my gpa is above average for my program and last year they accepted 67% of those who applied to it! Even the UCLA representative who came to my school said I had a really good chance of getting in. I just must be a big idiot or something :((( My dreams are totally crushed because this was my dream school, but UCSB will be a good choice (doubt I will be getting into UCB if i didnt get into UCLA) The only thing I can think of is that I totally bombed about 4 years ago when I first entered CC but I have been getting amazing grades ever since, and my gpa.</p>

1455

<p>@chaoscuber CONGRATS!! We were worrying for nothing man
:wink: </p>

1456

<p>I’m an econ major too makes sense…</p>

1457

<p>@shugahs yep, pre-econ here and my application is still under review :(</p>

1458

<p>@gotsomehope</p>

<p>I saw that a lot of waitlisted students from previous year were offered admissions for UCSD. I was also offered the same option but I’m gonna pass on it because I just don’t want to go to SD. Good luck and keep me posted! :)</p>

<p>@campfireweekend‌ @rambo831‌<br>
Did you get an email from admissions last week? </p>

<p>They asked me to provide additional information on my gaps in educational history</p>

1460

<p>I’m seriously so surprised…I know appealing is a dumb decision but does anyone think I have grounds to do so? I have had some hardships (serious panic attacks and depression problems, although it really never affected my grades) and that’s the only thing I can think to write about…but yeah i’m just surprised because my GPA is above average for the program I applied to according to last years statistics…who knows maybe a lot more people were interested in gender studies this year</p>
