<p>I'm so sad, i appealed to Davis for communication major and still did not get in.. simply because my CC GPA is below 3.0 :( </p>
<p>i cried the moment I received the message from UCD, because I tried so many possibilites and put myself out there spending so much time to increase my chances of getting in. I did also look up online for success stories and look for what Davis are looking for in my letter.. worked on my appeal letter and got a great letters of recs. Still didn't get in :'( </p>
<p>so torn up and disappointed. it really hurts to think that they cannot offer me admission.. I tried not to think about UCD now..or it will really make me cry and don't want to do anything.</p>
<p>I've thought about staying at community college for another year, but i would hate it to waste my third year. :( My original plan has always been to be 2 years at CC then transfer.</p>
<p>Even though i have a second option to go to a UC which is UCI.. I've always wanted to go to Davis for communications, plus it is only an hour away from home :(
I'm going to miss home so so much when I'm at Irvine..
I'm just suddenly not so excited to go to college now .. I so wish that I could attend UCD, i don't even know what I should do now.. UCI is a good school, I just never thought that I was going there for sure.</p>
<p>Cheer up! Irvine is not that bad. Being in a completely different environment other than your own can bring out your true personality and maybe bring out a side of you you didn;t know of. It’s like a fresh start for you to establish your identity there. Davis is extremely selective when it comes to appeals. I don’t know what exactly your appeal was about, but I heard that they typically look for academic related changes or something that appeals to them from an academic standpoint. If being home is THAT important to you, maybe staying an extra year and raising your gpa over the 3.0 mark is a better idea?</p>
<p>My dd is at Davis and she said she heard admissions there were tougher this year because they over-accepted last year.
So don’t let it get you down. If you really want to get into Davis, yu may want to do that thrid year at your CC.</p>
<p>Hi there! I completely understand how you feel. I applied as a transfer student 2 years ago and I was rejected from the school that I had my heart set on (Irvine). Irvine was my top pick and I never saw myself going to Davis. I was extremely sad and confused. I thought about staying another year at CCC just to re apply but ended up going to Davis. When I look back, I don’t regret it at all. Your time at UCI will go by super fast so if you end up hating Irvine (which I’m sure that won’t happen), you can always come back up. Think of it at a new experience and make the most out of it! I think you will enjoy your time at Irvine because I feel that every UC campus has something great to offer!</p>
<p>When I was in the process of transferring to UCLA I frequently read this forums and still do but never felt compelled to make an account until now.
I find the OP beyond ridiculous. There are so many people on these forums that would be happy to get into UCI and the fact that you would make thread simply to complain, when you have in fact been very lucky, is beyond me.</p>
<p>In the absence of some serious life event, a GPA below 3.0 at CC implies that you either did not care or probably shouldn’t be going to a UC anyway. </p>
<p>I am glad you found a few people to sympathize with you, but you just sound like a brat.</p>
<p>hey really thank you guys. I have been MIA and did not want to update any of my social net work and didn’t check this until yesterday. </p>
<p>I am a girl btw… And Yes. having 2.9 GPA has always been a shame to me. That’s because of many other things going on in my life, and I had to take 18 units while working. Even though I did try many possibilities I could to get in and it still shows me that I’m not capable of going to UCD. I got a C in my major GPA thats why it fell so below. But I have never received a D or F the whole two years of school. Mostly Bs and a few As and total of three Cs.
That’s okay. i know GPA is the most important thing college looks at. I totally understand there is a reason for it. but it does not mean that I did not care.</p>
<p>UCI is a good school. I was never unhappy about being accepted. I’m very glad that they accepted me. I only thought of going to UCD when I applied. I got in to UCI, UCR and SDSU but neither of them offer communication studies. I always have high hope for myself. that’s why appealed UCD.</p>
<p>I think I really wanted to stay close to home because of a pet I need to take care of… and the transportation will be very expensive as well. I know it sounds dumb.
But anyhow, I was just so disappointed that I did not get in to UCD. I got two letters of recs from my major professors for my appeal, and the letters were written amazingly wonderful. Also I worked on my own appeal letter for 2 weeks with all my heart. Spending so much time, at the end they still could not offer me admission. How could I not be sad?
Now i am glad I have a second choice to think about… and I have lots of doubts for myself if I should even go to a UC since I did not get in any two of my desire schools.</p>
<p>I got in sdsu for journalism. I meant to say UCI and UCR don’t have communication studies. SDSU does have comm major. The campus is just too far away. Both of my parents thought so too. I also went through if I should attend SDSU, after all I could not SIR to sdsu anyway, because I was still waiting for UCD appeal.</p>
<p>You would have loved SDSU! The local students in our area can’t get in unless they commit to living on campus. My dd went to davis-it’s a 9 hr drive for us from San Diego.</p>
<p>I got rejected from Davis two years ago and went to Irvine instead. I initially wanted to go to Davis because it was close to home and I was ecstatic when I got into UCI, since it was the last school to respond to me. I had a good time at Irivne, met some good people and got involved in a lot of academic and social things. I’m about to graduate next Friday from UCI and am very proud I will be able to call it my alma mater.</p>
<p>UCI is a good school, most people here enjoy themselves. It should be good to move farther away from home for school, immerse yourself in something new and learn to be independent. Be grateful this school accepted you; there are many who do not have the chance to come here.</p>
