<p>I was just rejected from UC Davis.
GPA After Fall 2012 Quarter : 3.25
GPA After Winter Quarter: 3.17
They took into account the 3.25 GPA, (since the 3.17 was not factored into the UC application yet.)
Applied into the Biological Sciences Major.
100+ hours of volunteer hospital work
I still have a TAG agreement with UCD as long as I maintain above a 3.2+ GPA.
I think the main reason I was rejected was because I got a C in Biology 1A. (The only "real" biology class I took at community college) Since chemistry is required to be completed, I have been completing that series before I continue on my biology series. I don't want to sound like I'm blaming anyone, but putting countless hours into that class and still managing only to get a C in that class was incredible to say the least. In fact, majority of the class ended up with C's a lot caved into D's and F's, just so they could retake it for better grades. (maybe I should have done the same) </p>
<p>I just wanted to know if you guys think I would have any chance at appealing this decision? Or maybe just work hard this spring quarter and get my GPA back over 3.2+?</p>
<p>Please let me know what you guys think! Thanks a lot for your time.</p>
<p>Wait, after your winter quarter your GPA was a 3.17? How did you expect to be accepted through TAG after that…?</p>
<p>They never saw my winter quarter GPA…so it had no affect on their decision whatsoever.</p>
<p>Which mean you didn’t update your winter grade… That probably the reason why you got rejected</p>

<p>But the update went on January 1st-31st, my winter grades came in end of march…?</p>
<p>then did you call the school?
also if i recall correctly, if you tag, you’re guaranteed if you complete all pre-reqs + IGETC + above a certain GPA score
if you got all and didn’t get accepted
it’s probably due to the procedure
and TAG agreement for most school is 3.2 GPA by the end of spring quarter(or each quarter?) with grade no lower than C</p>
<p>I have not yet called the school, but I will give them a call on Monday once they open. I have completed IGETC + pre-reqs, with no grades lower than a C. However, I will need to get my 3.17 GPA raised above a 3.20 by the end of this final spring quarter to be fully qualified correct? (Yes you are right, they require you to have a 3.20+ minimum GPA)</p>
<p>And what do you mean by “probably due to the procedure” sorry for the questions, and thank you for the response.</p>
<p>Like I said in previous post… You didn’t update your winter grade and didn’t notify the school when there is no grade</p>

<p>You can appeal, but its going to be tough. </p>
<p>You should have called them with your updated grades. I’ve never heard of winter grades coming out on March…that’s really late. Regardless, should have call them. When you do tell them about your winter grades, they’ll realize your GPA went lower than 3.2 and your TAG will be void. You can appeal as a regular applicant, but with that GPA, for that major, it will be tough. </p>
<p>Best of luck. Hope to see you there this fall.</p>
<p>Dude Davis is a bit of a joke. I was rejected with a 3.88. Go to a different school.</p>
<p>Says that 1 guy that got rejected with a 3.88 =p</p>
<p>Werent you that guy who didnt have like 5/6 of the pre-reqs for your major?</p>
<p>No I had 5/6. I was missing one…</p>
<p>What did you write in your personal statement, “f UCD” ?</p>
<p>Lol no. I think the personal statement is the same for all UCs right? I put some quality effort into that. Anyways, I emailed Davis through their on site message thing to admissions and nicely asked them to explain why I was rejected, and I hope they reply to me. It would be rude if they just flat out ignore it even though I was rejected.</p>
<p>I still got into UCSD and SB though, and am waiting on several more schools.</p>
<p>i got accepted to ucd for fall 2013, last year a friend of mine applied to ucd as global studies major, she got rejected by ucd, but accepted to cal and ucla, a theory goes that ucd knows if applicants will be admitted to ucla and ucb, and if they think that they’ll reject u cuz they know you wouldnt pick ucd over ucla and cal</p>
<p>That theory may have some merit.</p>
<p>But UCD just got back to me and said they rejected me solely because that single pre-requisite I was missing. They said my major is competitive and they wanted transfers to finish all of them before transfer. Kind of a shame.</p>
<p>do those pre-requisite classes need to be finished by fall 2012?? I got rejected. I did three of the pre-reqs for my majors prior to the term of Fall 2012. And currently taking the other 2 pre-reqs for Communication Major. I wonder why the reason they reject me too, but i’m going to appeal…!! D:</p>
<p>@that1guyy what’s the site that you can write UC Davis to ask them why you were rejected??</p>
