<p>Hello everyone =)</p>
<p>It's the first time I ask help, so here it goes..</p>
<p>I'm a french girl in 12th grade and just got a rejection from UCLA.
I would like to appeal and I need you to tell me if I have any chances of getting in.</p>
<p>Here are my circumstances:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>I came to the US 3.5 years ago (in August 2006) and did not know a word of english at that time. (If it changes anything, I have a double citizenship, French and Israeli.)</p></li>
<li><p>I am now in a French School in California, like I said in 12th grade.</p></li>
<li><p>My courses are mostly scientific (Chemistry/Physics IV (H), Biology III (H), Calculus AB AP, World History/Geography IV (H), Spanish Advanced II a,b (H), English IV a,b, Philosophy I a,b).</p></li>
<li><p>I have some B's but mostly A's. My GPA is 3.9 (unweighted).</p></li>
<li><p>I took the SAT and got 2130, and SATs subejct test and got 800 in french and 760 in math 2.</p></li>
<li><p>I have been class president several times and have french diplomas (such as the french brevet (9th grade), and the baccalaureat (11th and 12th grade), or even honor rolls).</p></li>
<li><p>For the activities, I have several of them, including sports and instrument, but had to stop playing sports after a knee injury. On top of that, I did numerous hours of community service, including in a foreign country.</p></li>
<li><p>My family and I have an E2 visa (investor), so I was considered as an international student.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>As reasons why I decided to appeal their decision, I was thinking that I would say that I came here only 3 years ago, and succeded in learning english, getting excellent scores in SATs and learning how to live in a different country. (Nobody was there to help me, or tell me what to do to have the best chances to get into the best universities, I had to fight twice, even three time as hard as others to be at the same "level" as them).</p>
<p>For the 2 or 3 B's I got last year, I would explain them by saying that beginning of last year, I had a knee injury playing basket ball. For some time, I couldn't walk, and even still today, I cannot play sports or walk for long distances..</p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to help me, I really, really appreciate it !</p>
<p>And sorry if I made grammar or spelling mistakes, like I said, I've been here only 3 years, and to tell the truth I'm still choked by their rejection...</p>
