Submitted an appeal. Now I just wait

What did u say for your appeal? Just curious

Is that from last year?

Under what circumstances should you submit an appeal? Is it just for new information not stated on your application or second semester grades?

My average avg gpa was a 3.61, but my gpa this past semester jumped to a 4.1, so I included that in the appeal. They ask for your transcript too so this is great if you were not lazy last semester. This is also something that shouldn’t have been mentioned in your application. I also talked about another leadership position that I am in this year that I didn’t mention in my original application. Just stuff like that - just sending them an appeal already lets them know that you really wanna go there.

Right now on my portal, it says that UCSC has received my appeal and that they’ll respond no later than April 21

Oh, and I included a teacher recommendation. Can only help.

we did the same for my son – teacher recommendation, transcript showing uptick in first semester grades, rejoined varsity sports team he had quite, etc. Hoping it helps.

Do they automatically check third quarter grades or did you have to send an appeal for that?

Does anyone know when the waitlist decisions come out?

All we know is that they’ll come out no later than April 21st

u sure, last year people got them in may so…?

If opted in on waitlist and did an appeal, should receive appeal decision by April 21st. If appeal is declined you are still on waitlist. When opted in to waitlist, you should have gotten notice in portal stating will hear by June 1st if accepted off waitlist or not.

right, thanks!

I just got accepted off the waitlist :slight_smile:

@logic301 email or portal?

@blackpink email. it says the portal status will change by tmw

My daughter was admitted off the waitlist this afternoon, too. Email saying portal will change tomorrow.
