<p>i didnt get in to uc davis. i am about to melt.</p>
<p>I just found out I didn't get into Berkeley. Anyone have any appeals advice?</p>
<p>I spoke to a UC ad com today- they had the highest amount of appeals ever -UCSB had 7,000.</p>
<p>He said that your best bet is to go to your second choice or a jc and transfer in with 60 units. If you try to transfer in from another college OTHER than a jc you have little chance of getting in because its just as competitive as getting in as a freshman.</p>
<p>He said the appeal process is now closed, so time to accept your fate.
Do you have a back up?</p>
<p>no davis for me either</p>
<p>wait UCSB got 7000 appeals this year???? 7000?!?!? thats crazy!!! last year it was like 1000....thats crazy.
i guess its SDSU for me!</p>
<p>haha sock, me too. im sending in my sdsu intent to enroll tomorrow, because even IF UCSB lets ud in, it will not be until after the may 2nd deadline.</p>
<p>Found out today that I got into Davis with an appeal. I guess I'm one of the "lucky" 20-25. I put my major as math. Feel free to ask me any questions if you have them.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>js congrats!! what was your appeal based on?</p>
<p>man, last year davis accepted 25 percent of the people who appealed. this year its like 2 people. its so unfairl. oh, do u think we can enter davis for spring quarter 06 if we go to a jc.</p>
<p>Ucmom, I talked about how I felt after being rejected from 5 schools. I then explained my SAT scores and personal statement. Talked about how I grew up with my mom. Mentioned new info that I was an algebra tutor. Ended appeal by explaining how I would be at Davis or take road less traveled at a community college and with an Eleanor Roosevelt quote.</p>
<p>Congratulations! You are one of the lucky few. Have a wonderful time up there!!</p>
<p>Hey a Davis appeal admit! Welcome to the family man, hope to see you next year.</p>
<p>NSharma, sorry man, a fellow Indian and all. Go the transfer route if you have to, dude, don't settle for santa cruz, i'm sure you can do better. Good luck...</p>
<p>Thanks megathunder. But I'm a girl!</p>
<p>jswong, did u have good stats? where else did you get into.</p>
<p>i'm anxiously waiting my LA decision... this is killing me. -_-</p>
<p>Nsharma, my stats were good but not great. I had a 3.7 unweighted and 4.1 weighted. Ok SAT's (a few over the century mark), and a lot of EC's. I got into UCSC, SCU, and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.</p>
<p>Has anyone here who sent in a UCLA appeal within two weeks from the April 15 deadline received a response yet, or know of anyone who did? Any decisons reversals, statistics for the year, or anything else that we UCLA appealees may want to be aware of?</p>
<p>I'm also wondering; When they open their decisions website from 8:00AM-8:00PM, are the decisions for the day posted once throughout the day (i.e. upon opening at 8:00AM)? I'd assume that to be true, so I only check once a day.</p>
<p>My appeal basis:
-Immigrant parents, both working labor jobs (although they have their degrees, it's been hard for them to get back into career-mode ever since my brother and I were born). My father throughout the last year or so has been working an extra job to help fund for college...Where his hours resulted in me seeing him for only once a week...And in result of this, I didn't qualify for any Cal Grants (B).
---Talked about how my parents are supportive of whatever I want to do, and since I honestly would have preferred to go to a private art school, I can't. Additionally, as a southern California resident, the furthest I can go for college is LA (based on my financial reasons and need to be close to home). Therefore I felt that UCLA's D|MA major would have been the most reasonable choice in terms of tuition, location, and the closest to get the experience from that of an art school. I also talked about how the admissions process appealed to me for the fact that it proved to me to be competitive, whereas other universities have accepted me based on educational merit and not artistic skill/credibility.
---Talked about how being in a university as an art major rather than art school would actually build me up as an individual and reflect upon my work both inside and outside of the university.
---Talked about how I would contribute, the various skills I have, etc.
---Mentioned any class changes I had, recognize how it may have been a stunting move, and what I would do to 'compensate' for it (i.e. community college courses during the summer, getting a job, etc.).
---Included a letter of rec. from my AP Studio Art teacher</p>
<p>I hope I get in. :\ Good luck to everyone still waiting (no matter what school you appealed to), and my condolences to those who unfortunately did not get into to their school of choice. You worked hard, didn't give up when you knew you had that little chance, and I'm sure with attitude and spirit like that, it will take you to great places in life. <3</p>
<p>I got the results from UCB and UCLA... I didn't get in... AGAIN! jerks. O well. I'm really hoping to get into UCSD. Has anyone gotten their decision yet? I called the and they told me they were going to send it through the mail. Almost May 1st and nothing....</p>
<p>ya UCSD admissions is composed of a bunch of jerks. I sent mine way over 3 weeks ago so I called them like you. They "forgot to mail" me my letter supposedly. They told me over the phone I got denied. But they were like the bigest jerks about it. My basis of appeal was that they did not consider me for any leadership even though i clearly stated one minor and one major leadershhip role in my application and recognition of that would have given me the points necessary for admissions. They said they only considered appeals in whihc students where ill or whose parents were ill or who died or something to that degree. I asked if they dont reverse apps with errors and they said they do although the error in reading my app was considered my fault since i "didn't make it clear" i had leadership. I dont know how else to say president of this club. or Vp on board of major organization that organizes hs clubs from 20 schools in socal. They made the most messed up comments like those regarding the school i was going to and how id probably do better there anyways as if i wasnt qualified for their school. After much argument and interuptions I just said that I realised UCSD was not my type of school anyways. If the admissionss office doesnt know whats its doing Im sure the rest of the school doesnt either. I said thx and hung up. That lady was like the most obnoxious person ive ever spoken with in my life. Its okay Ill show ucsd what they rejected! theyl regret it when I become governor of cali and cut off funds to them!</p>
<p>my thoughts exactly.</p>
