Must be because I applied under Mechanical Engineering. Should I appeal?</p>

<p>yeah engineering is hella tough.</p>

<p>i will kick myself in the ass if i started speaking no. cal</p>

<p>yea engineering is a tough major to get into. i wouldnt bother appealing if UCLA wasn't ur first choice to begin with. wait for other admissions and hopefully u get into the one u want to go</p>

<p>well at 12:01 i found out that im ACCEPTED!!! today i was shopping on 101 and i saw a shirt that said "my daughter goes to uc davis and all i got was this stupid t shirt!" i wanted to give it to my dad. good times. anyway.....CONGRATS EVERYONE!!! we are awesome. we should start our own little davis cult. and then have an awkward CC reunion in person once we get there.</p>

<p>hahahaha dawgquelle i think i love you..... best quote ever:
"NOR CAL HELLA SUCKS!!!"</p>

<p>S accepted with Regents. :)</p>

<p>First off id like to congradulate everyone that was accepted into UCD and is planning on attending this amazing school. Im really glad we have people who are excited to be coming here like i was last year. Reading this thread reminded me of what i went through waiting for my letters, and the sense of euphorea i went through when i found out i was accepted to UCD at 1 am, and ran around the house waking up everyone in my family, then going out with them the next day to bennehanas to celebrate. I know what your all going through especially those of you who held Davis as your top choice school. I hope to see you all here next year!
And for those of you who were rejected, i can only advise you to appeal! Appealing shows UCD admissions personell that you are not willing to give up! This is a characteristic that ANY college would want in its student body. Sending a letter describing how you think you should have been accepted and how much you want to go to UCD shows the admissions board that you will be a hard working dedicated student if they admit you! If you truely want to go to UCD PLEASE i urge you to send in a letter of appeal, because chances are you will be accepted. As a matter of fact, i was initially rejected myself with a 3.8 GPA and 1320 SAT I and after appealing i was accepted under my applied major of Chemical Engineering. So Good luck everyone, and i hope to see you all in Davis!</p>

<p>All you people, I was rejected from both UCLA and Davis. Got in to Santa Barbara and Cal Poly. Problem is that for Santa Barbara i was rejected from Mechanical Engineering but i got in to Electrical. There was some confusion on where i was rejected. If I do appeal, what should I say in the letter? Don't really have any new circumstances...can get excellent letters of rec though.</p>

<p>Pacifist, wow! Bennehanas!! ugh, im drooling just think about it! I reacted the same way when I got my admission notification.... except I didn't wake anyone up cuz i would've gotten slap hard! </p>

<p>Neways, I really consider Davis my top choice too..... too bad my family is refusing to let me go there!!! They say it's too far away... 6 hour drive... They're actually forcing me to UCI or Riverside.... NOOOOOO.... You guys got any advice as I desperately try to convince my parents?! Seriously need help!</p>

<p>Ive got advice... let them know how your an adult now, and the choice of college is going to directly effect your life for at least 4 years, and probably more. Let them know that Davis is the right place for you, and that you want to be able to feel comfortable in your surroundings.
You need to let them know that distance s not important, and that the over all decision of what college you go to should lie with you, becuase the decision is directly going to effect your life more than anyone elses. If this strategy doesn't work... you know your parents best, do anything you can that could work. Also give them time to absorb what you want but pound it in now, and give them a few weeks then describe why you want to go to UCD. Unfortunatly if this dosent work, and your parents are paying for you to go to college you could be forced into what you dont want, but hopefully you can convince them.
Basicly drive the point home that the college you go to will directly effect your life, not theirs, and that Davis is the right one for you!
Good luck!</p>

<p>Yo If U Wanna Go To Davis Man, Just Threathen To Kill Yourself With A Knife If They Dont Let U. Thatll Teach Ur Parents.</p>

<p>ahahahha.... Dru2k... done that, doesn't work... it just set you up for a gooood, long spanking and lecture... aha</p>

<p>ehy Pacifist, the funny thing is that I'm not financially dependent on my family at all. What's holding me back is the guilt trip that they put me through. I'm the youngest and, therefore, I'm destined to support my parents in their old age (I think it's a Vietnamese tradition, but it could just be our way of thinking)..... I'm giving it one more shot, and if this doesn't work... I guess I'll have to give in..... My awesomely cool English teacher advised me to talk to my priest and convince him to talk to my parents abouing letting me go... ahaha.. and since we're extremely pious catholics, there's no way they can refuse a priest.. muhahaha... <strong><em>fingers, legs, arms, and toes crossed</em></strong></p>

<p>OMG I'M SO FRUSTRATED. </p>

<p>I've tried logging into my stupid UCD account to check my status and every single time I get this weird thing saying like 'invalid' and 'security error' and i've tried everything. I can't even read the FAQ because it this 'security error' thing keeps popping up and i've tried to access my account on 3 different computers!! arghhh the suspense is killing me! i guess i'll call the admissions office tomorrow and see w t f is up, or hopefully i'll just get a letter soon. </p>

<p>my stats are...
3.7 weighted gpa
1240sat 1s
kinda low sat2s (all in upper 500s/lower 600s)
got a 4 on the apush exam
good amount ECs (varsity & jv sports, volunteering, dance company, piano lessons for 8 yrs, job)
undeclared major</p>

<p>do i even have a chance?</p>
