UCLA Appeal Chances

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Every year we talk about the kids that feel they got jipped, and the kids that got jipped. Can someone please openly and honestly tell me which one I am so I can either choose to appeal or not.</p>

<p>My Art History teacher in junior year told us if we passed the AP she'd give us an A both semesters. I got a 5. & Our administration changed and wouldn't let her change both semesters. If I can appeal to get my grade changed by our principal, my GPA would raise from a 4.27 to a 4.31. </p>

<p>My application GPA was 4.27. It would be a 4.31 (only including sophomore and junior year and a 4.33 including senior year - 1st semester)
My ap scores were:
AP Biology: 5
AP Art History: 5
AP US History: 5
AP World History: 3
AP Literature: 4
AP European History: 4</p>

<p>This year I'm taking AP Stats, AP Gov, AP Econ, AP Language & a community college psychology class. </p>

<p>I am currently a yearbook section editor.
I was ASB commissioner of technology and public relations junior year
and this year I am ASB vice president
and our Inter Club Council president.
I am in our American Cancer Society Youth Club
Was the Chairman of our high schools Election Convention
I have taken classical piano lessons since age nine and have taught piano for community service all four years of high school.
Was the summer intern recipient for a military research lab and will work there again this summer.</p>

<p>My SAT Subjects
Literature: 680
Biology: 700
US History: 740</p>

<p>SAT Reasoning
Reading: 720
Writing: 620 (My essay was atrocious)
Math: 640 (I'm definitely not so great at math.)</p>

<p>My appeal would feature the grade change and the new gpa and my chairmanship as "New & Compelling" information. </p>

<p>I really do feel like I got jipped. The people I know that did get in had as many activities as I did, lower SAT scores and the GPA I would have with a grade change. </p>

<p>Please let me know if I should appeal or not. Thank you & God bless!</p>

<p>I don’t think those count as new and compelling, but I’m not really sure. Just remember UCLA got 57k applications and only accepted 4k, thats less than 10%. It ended up being a lottery at the end. I was a victim of this too :(</p>

<p>you’re scores are kinda low…I would say it was just unlucky that you got rejected
but you don’t really have much to go on for an appeal
out of curiosity, did you SEAP?</p>

</p>

<p>they accepted more than 4k. the 4690 figure indicates how many people they feel will matriculate from the accepted pool, which is likely around 10k.</p>

<p>Wow, haha. I got accepted into UCLA with half your AP credentials… However, I did have good essays and a variety of sports I was dedicated to… Gotta be a tough pill to swallow for you :/</p>

<p>That’s frustrating. I worked so hard last year to obtain those. Seriously, I studied every day from 2pm to midnight for two weeks.</p>
