Do you think the High school’s outstanding senior in English (or science) is a significant achievement?
Thank you!

It is a nice achievement but it will not be a good reason to appeal.
so if we get denied from the waitlist later on (say when the waitlist closes in august), we could appeal at that point?
Yes, if the option is given to appeal after a waitlist denial. Some campuses will not consider an appeal after a certain deadline so you need to check with UCLA before filing an appeal.
Have you read the section on UCLA appeals?
Before You Submit an Appeal
Because all applicants are evaluated so thoroughly in multiple extensive reviews, admission decisions are rarely overturned. For an appeal to have merit, it must bring to light new academic and personal information, as well as information pertaining to extenuating circumstances, that had not been present in the application.
When we talk about presenting “new” information, we mean information not already presented in the original application (e.g. classes that were not listed as AP or Honors that should have been, additional coursework, etc.) — information that clearly shows the student to be stronger than had been earlier evidenced. High grades received in the senior year, recently acquired awards or additional extracurricular activities are not a basis for the reversal of a decision since decisions are based on academic information that was available at the time of application.
In rare cases, students may find it necessary to be in Los Angeles due to personal hardship. In itself, this is not grounds for the reversal of an admission decision since there are several other colleges in the Los Angeles area. Academic qualifications combined with the particular hardship listed would allow for an additional review of an applicant. If you base your appeal on an emergency or sudden-need situation, please be prepared to document your circumstances.
