Hello,
I had bronchitis back in November and December, and only scored a 1960 on the SAT. I took the SAT again in January, and scored a 2250. I figured there’s no harm in trying to appeal. 
Anyways, what is UCLA’s appeal process like, and what documents do I need?
I know that I can’t submit until April 1st.
Do I need letters of recommendation?
Should I send scores to UCLA now?
Will I need to send transcripts?
Q: I WOULD LIKE TO APPEAL MY DECISION. WHAT SHOULD I INCLUDE IN MY APPEAL?
A: Because all applicants are examined so thoroughly in multiple reviews, admission decisions are rarely overturned. Requests for reconsideration are most likely to be persuasive only when students present new information. By “new” we mean information not already presented in the original application (e.g. missing ACT/SAT scores, classes that were not listed as AP/Honors that should have been, additional course work, etc.); information that clearly shows you to have a stronger academic record than had been earlier evidenced. Additional extracurricular activities or fall term grades are not a basis for a reversal of the decision since decisions are based on academic information that was available at the time of application.
I would wait until April 1, but get any documents, recommendations, test score reports ready.
damn thats the best reason to appeal if i’ve ever seen one
