<p>I applied to UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UCSD, UCLA and UCSB. other than UCSB i was rejected by all of them. i was admitted to NYU stern. i am a 4.0 student with a 2200 sat score and plenty of ec's. yesterday, motivated by my rejection from uc berkeley i decided to double check my application for any possibe discrepencies that may have caused my rejection from so many UCs. i stumbled upon my SAT scores and noticed that only the november score i had put in myself was there, and that next to the date for the december sat i planned to take it said "error!" in red. also next to the 3 subject tests i put on the app it said "not recieved". i was puzzled by this because i sent my scores to UCLA (this year you only have to send your scores to one UC and they all get them. it says on the UC website) so i checked collegeboard. alas on my send history it showed i had sent evreything as i remembered yet for some reason the UC system didn't get the scores. im considering appealing and giving the UC this explanation along with mailing receipts from paying for sending the scores alongside the appeal itself. does anyone know of a similar situation or know what i could do??? thank you very much</p>
<p>I don’t have a similar experience but I think thats a damn good idea. There’s no way you should have been rejected to all those schools. Keep your head up!</p>
<p>you have a really good basis for an appeal. i know this happened to my friend once and he just re-sent in his scores and wrote an appeal detailing the situation. they accepted him afterwards.</p>
<p>These are grounds for an appeal. The key is “new and compelling information,” and your missing SAT scores fit.</p>
<p>What they don’t want to see in appeals is anything that smacks of questioning their judgment based on information that was on the application.</p>
<p>Also, UCs have made it clear that first semester senior grades will not change their decision, regardless of how much better they are and how much they have raised the UC GPA from the application GPA. W-a-a-ay too many students try that sort of appeal, while the guidelines specify not to.</p>
<p>We have no personal experience with any of this, but know of friends who have. You have just the right sort of grounds. Good luck!</p>
