<p>@VivaLaVida14 That’s odd! I think I have the generic one. I don’t think Spanish is impacted? Perhaps I’m wrong. I would assume Statistics would be strict also.</p>
<p>I also have to drop a non-prereq course. I’m well above 60 units and can maintain GPA and already finished my prereqs. I’m so stressed over it though, I won’t be really celebrating until I figure out this provisional agreement stuff. </p>
<p>Has anyone received an email from UCLA? </p>
<p>@BurntCorpse Do you remember who said that/when they said it? </p>
<p>@GreatestThe That was my GPA and major as well and I was rejected. I am already drafting my appeal. </p>
<p>Im nervous to submit my SIR, i had to drop a major course, well it was an extra one i was taking my pre reqs are already completed. Ucla rep i spoke to said it was fine. But not knowing for sure for 15 business days is insane toture. I just want to but my UCLA sweater already! </p>
<p>@Cayton and anyone else here, did you apply to USC? if so, would you go there instead of UCLA? </p>
<p>Also, is anyone planning to take there car down at UCLA?</p>
<p>GPA: 3.9
Major: Economics (alt: business economics)</p>
<p>Denied admission</p>
<p>-I just looked at my UC application, and it turns out that there are large formatting errors in my second personal statement. It is almost unreadable. There are question marks, periods, and random letters throughout the essay. I have no idea how that happened but I feel it was likely a large part of the decision. I am writing my appeal now. I plan on touching briefly on the issue with my personal statement but then focusing on my positive attributes and why I am going to be a strong addition to the UCLA student body. Any tips?</p>
<p>@econtransfer1717 what’re you gonna say in your appeal? </p>
<p>Accepted!!!
Major: Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior/Human Biology/Physiological science
GPA: 3.63
Pre-Reqs: done
IGETC: done
TAP: NO
Accepted: UCD/UCSD/UCLA (in major order)</p>
<p>Still waiting for others
So happy right now</p>
<p>@sonic23 </p>
<p>I’m decided on going to UCLA.</p>
<p>And I’d drop that history course if I were you. If it’s not required, you should be fine. UCLA doesn’t like seeing D’s or F’s in your last semester. You even said yourself that a UCLA rep thought it would be fine.</p>
<p>@ronitsky </p>
<p>That’s great that you got in!! Will you turn down UCLA if you get in to Berkeley?</p>
<p>@BurntCorpse </p>
<p>Hmm…I don’t know how that’ll affect your offer of admission. Best to talk to UCLA about that.</p>
<p>And UCLA won’t rescind offers of admission because one’s GPA dropped slightly. They’ll only care if you got a lot of C’s, and D’s, F’s, or if you dropped an important class.</p>
<p>I wish their admission contract was more specific so that people would stop being misled by this.
@smashley93 </p>
<p>The contract basically means that you can’t get 2 ore more Cs, any D’s or any F’s, although I’ve seen people on this forum get a couple of C’s and still retain their admission. UCLA doesn’t actually expect its applicants not to experience a drop in GPA whatsoever, but that admission contract of theirs needs to be changed to reflect that.</p>
<p>I think you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>@OcaptnMyCaptn</p>
<p>Congrats, man! UCLA’s history department is pretty nice. I used to be a major in history before I wanted to study philosophy at that school.</p>
<p>@randombookie</p>
<p>I didn’t apply to USC. It’s a good school, but it’s in a crappy neighborhood and their general education requirements were a hassle for me to try and satisfy. I wish they accepted IGETC, but they don’t. UCLA is the place for me!</p>
<p>@GreatestThe
-Why specifically I want to attend UCLA, what I feel I will bring to the UCLA student body, and how I do not believe they made a mistake, but how I could not be content with deciding on a college before exploring my last chance at attending my top choice</p>
<p>Hey guys, did anyone find out what the contract meant specifically for “Maintain the grade point average” that I reported on the application.</p>
<p>I am a 4.0 student up until Winter, but I am in an extremely hard class where I might get a B. Would they revoke my admission from that one B? It may cause my GPA to go from a 4.0 to 3.95 or 3.94.</p>
<p>@GreatestThe </p>
<p>You might not have gotten into UCLA, but don’t lose hope! There’s still Berkeley.</p>
<p>And lots of people get rejected by one of these schools and accepted into the other. Just saying.</p>
<p>@cayton any idea if my 2 semester of univesrity in canada where a school shooting happened and I had D’s and F’s would have an impact on my acceptance? I took a year long break, went to therapy, and now I got a 3.95 after 5 semesters at a CC.</p>
<p>I assumed they would see that my grades held up for a long period of time, and that those grades would have no baring on my decision.</p>
<p>@GreatestThe </p>
<p>Possibly. You can call the admissions office and ask why you were rejected. They’ll actually tell you.</p>
<p>@cayton assuming they’re closed until Monday?</p>

<p>I am a 4.0 student up until Winter, but I am in an extremely hard class this Spring where I might get a B. Would they revoke my admission from that one B? It may cause my GPA to go from a 4.0 to 3.95 or 3.94.</p>
<p>@cayton by the way I think I said it already, but CONGRATULATIONS for getting into your top school my dude! Get a better computer so we can play SSFIV and I can whoop your ass.</p>
<p>@Cayton Do you know for sure that they will tell you the reason, or is that just something you have heard?</p>
<h2>Just finished my appeal!! </h2>
<p>Dear Mr. Clark of the Undergraduate Admissions Office at UCLA,</p>
<p>After careful review of your letter of rejection, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your lack of admission for the Fall Quarter 2014. This month, I have received more letters of admission than I can accommodate. Given the high caliber of universities, enrollment decisions are difficult and involve hard choices. My decision to reject your letter of rejection is not a reflection of the admissions board’s success in refusing applicants, nor is it meant to minimize their role at the university. Rather, it is a reflection of the highly competitive university selection process at my desk. </p>
<p>I recognize that my refusal to accept this rejection will be a disappointment, but given the depth of my selection process, I feel encouraged to appeal your decision. Despite your well written letter, I find that your rejection does not meet with my needs at this time. </p>
<p>I wish you success in the rejection of future candidates.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>(My Name)
UCLA, Class of 2016</p>
