The UCD Appeals Thread

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Davis

<p>Hey. Some of the people who’ve appealed to UCLA received their answers already (<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=166199)%5B/url%5D”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=166199)</a>. The ones who received a response, however, submitted their appeals early (around March 17th). Has anyone heard from UCD yet? Does UCD release appeals on a rolling basis?</p>

<p>I’m extremely anxious about my appeal. Does anyone want to read my evaluate my appeal and lend me some insights ^^?</p>

2

<p>im very nervous as well...if i dont get my appeal granted...im going to
ucsc...where are u going jaon if not granted?</p>

3

<p>I'll probably be going to UCI if I don't get my appeal for either UCD or UCSD. Actually, maybe not. I'm going to drive up to Davis and camp in the admissions office, haha (or something drastic like that :P).</p>

4

<p>if u dont mind me asking wat u write about in ur appeal</p>

<p>i wrote about like how it was my dream, how it socially fits me, and how
i cant really afford to go anywhere else due to siblings attending ucs but i can davis because i can live with my brother who attends davis and can help me save money...some ish like that</p>

<p>Some "ish"? You sound like you are from my school, haha. I've never heard the use of "ish" outside of my school before.</p>

<p>I can send you my appeal/letter of rec if you would like to read it and evaluate it so I can see how others think. If you don't feel like reading, here's a boiled down list of what I wrote about.</p>

<p>I wrote about:
-3 clubs, 3 planned ap tests and a comment about a probable missing current SAT score
-my realization of the importance of dreams after my cousin's were shattered by his accident
-how UCD's social environment can help my career
-how I looked up to the many family member alumni
-my interest in electrical engineering</p>

<p>I also have a pretty good letter of rec (imo).</p>

6

<p>Haven't heard yet... one week left officially.</p>

7

<p>We should be hearing from them by April 28th. That's what it says on my admissions.</p>

8

<p>The admissions office representative told me over the phone that admissions will be given on a rolling basis. I'm so anxious... </p>

<p>Has anyone heard yet?</p>

9

<p>did all of you guys not get admitted to davis? if so what other uc's admitted you?</p>

10

<p>I only got into UCI =.</p>

<p>Anyway, I know I made a Davis appeal forum, but I have just got rejected from UCSD again! I tried to gain more points but it seemed like the first step of an appeal is having a very small distance from the cutoff. "I regret to inform you that we cannot approve your appeal because your score is 7214 (It was out of 7421 this year)." </p>

<p>Oh well, screw UCSD ^^ (although I want to go there for grad school since they are well funded in research). I want UCD 100x more.</p>

11

<p>hey, when did you send in your appeal to UCSD?</p>

12

<p>UCSD works on a three week timeline, so people generally get there responses three weeks from sending it in. My friend got his appeal reply in under three weeks.</p>

13

<p>I sent two copies because USPS seemed to have lost my first letter. I'm not really sure about that. The first copy should've reached UCSD by April 8. The second copy arrived at UCSD by April 12. I received a letter on April 22.</p>

14

<p>ANY WORD YET?! Today is the first day of the week appeals are finished.</p>

<p>Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.</p>

<p>Anxiety>Me</p>

15

<p>hahaha
good luck</p>

16

<p>i am so worried!! haha well its either davis economics, Riverside mech engineering, or sdsu engineering for me. I WANT DAVIS</p>

17

<p>Day TWO. </p>

<p>I'm getting more and more scared about my appeal...why didn't I just not choose engineering...</p>

<p>I sincerely hope UCD has a heart.</p>

18

<p>i really want you to get in, Jason. davis needs kids like you. you've got my fingers crossed...</p>

<p>Day THREE! (two days left)</p>

<p>If you are annoyed by my posts, just stop reading this thread =].</p>

<p>I got some new insight today to make me feel better. So far, I haven't heard many people being rejected by a UCD appeal in the past (I searched forums and asked around). In addition, my friend reported that her friend's school had a decent amount of UCD appealers get in last year. Two more days!</p>
