<p>I have appealed to UCSC which is my dream school. Does anyone have any good luck with appeals at any school? Please give me some feedback it would be much appreciated ! </p>
<p>Overall GPA 3.66
SAT:1320
Varsity Basketball 4 years
4.2 GPA Senior year
4 AP classes through all years
I wrote a strong appeal letter with a great recommendation from my math teacher who has her MBA in Engineering from UCBerkeley.
Included a document of my mothers illness from 2008-2014 , all of my years she has been in chronic condition!</p>
<p>Hope this works !</p>
<p>you should bring up something new that was not mentioned in the app
your gpa is good, but sat is not </p>
<p>don’t take this the wrong way, but when colleges see that SAT score and that you havent exactly challenged yourself throughout the years, they think rejection. SAT far to low, GPA is average considering how easy it is to graduate with a 4.0 now a days and course rigor is week.</p>
<p>ie:
I wrestled all 4 years (varsity) and probably got high every day of the week and graduated with a 3.2. However I took more than double your AP Load and out scored you on the SAT by quite a bit.</p>
<p>RETAKE</p>
