<p>Am I the only one???</p>
<p>Does anyone know if its worth it to make an appeal???</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Saw your post in the other thread.</p>
<p>Did you complete or show completion of prerequisites? Breadth requirement? Language requirement?</p>
<p>I have everything done</p>
<p>I honestly do not know why.</p>
<p>Maybe it was my essay but i showed it to some current Haas students and they said it was what they were looking for. </p>
<p>Is there a point to an appeal? Cause if not then I’m gonna drop my physics class and take it next semester and reapply for Fall 2012 (I’m a 2 year applicant).</p>
<p>I’m sorry you didn’t get in, but competition was tough this year. I dunno if an appeal is worth it if you don’t have any new and compelling info. Good luck.</p>
<p>What is compelling new info???</p>
<p>Like if you forgot to put something on your app</p>
<p>Your GPA was below the average but not that off. Compelling information could be what @shinra said, or a summer internship, awards, publications, etc. Something that if submitted would give a strong case for reconsideration.</p>
<p>For my appeal can i just make an argument as to why i should get in? I know i finished everything i took 14 units in the 5 week session and i did 21 units this last fall. I worked my ass off for the last 2 years to make sure i was eligible but I don’t understand why? My ECs were good and my essays i thought they were good. I just really don’t understand.</p>
<p>EDIT: They said not to include anything from internships or letters of recommendations</p>
<p>Yeah, so if you send in an appeal that basically just says “I think I deserve to get in” that won’t work. You need to let them know something that they didn’t already know when looking at your app.</p>
<p>what should i include account statements from my trading accounts? I mean for the next semester they are taking breadth courses away and taking away 1 of the english requirements and adding a Calc 2. Like they saw my course load and everything.</p>
<p>
I wouldn’t.</p>
<p>I would call and ask for a specific reason.</p>
<p>On a side note, I’m surprised internship information is not allowed. A summer internship is more relevant than going to a business club meeting once a week.</p>
<p>that’s what i said and i pointed it out on my essays. I’m sure if i call on Monday i can get a quick response. But it’s just a little frustrating.</p>
<p>sounds like my GPA was very competitive but missing the 3rd year of HS Spanish did me in.</p>
<p>WHERES INVESTMENT?!</p>
<p>i wanna know if he got in
!</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>LMAO. The residential Haas applicant. I doubt he’ll be back on here. Haven’t seen him since late fall.</p>
<p>asdf aesfaw3r2qr3 q3</p>
<p>I also applied to Haas</p>
<p>Stats:</p>
<p>Accumulative GPA - 3.94
Major(GPA) - 4.00
Extra C - Church Scout Activities Director
Started own eCommerce Business
Business Club Member
Personal Statements - Well written, had people revise
Breadth - Completing 4/7 Spring 2011 Semester
PreReqs - Completing 2 Spring 2011 Semester</p>
<p>Denied.</p>
<p>Should I appeal? I think I’m a really qualified applicant.</p>
<p>my friend was denied to Hass.</p>
<p>4.00. prereqs and breadth done. international student. he didnt have stellar EC and essay, so i think that is the reason. in my opinion, Cal weights EC and essays more than ucla does. </p>
<p>anyway, he is gonna join ucla with me.</p>
<p>Got into Haas.</p>
<p>3.9
ECs were strong:
Intern at high tech firm and aerospace defense organization
Business Club President
PTK officer
Founded a consumer product company that I will not tell you the name of. ;D
Every prereq done.</p>
<p>Essays were amazingly exaggerated and over the top epic. If you can’t write a good essay about business you’re chances will be lowered significantly. </p>
<p>Awards were legit.</p>
<p>I’m not on these boards much. Ever since I stopped worrying about Haas I’ve been having a social life for once. Sorry to the people who got denied. Haas isn’t that great though. 60k starting salary and 70% graduates have jobs after 3 months since graduation. Very low compared to engineering.</p>
<p>Hey, congrats Investment!!! I know how badly you wanted to get into Haas. I’ll also be at Cal in fall. So excited!!!</p>
