AsdhgjhgfI literally forgot it was due 5 pm and I just submitted it right now. It let me submit but oof I don’t think it’s gonna get reviewed :’)))
Update: Called UCLA admissions about it and they said it was fine. Technically, they don’t submit late submissions after midnight of the deadline. Whew lol
@HarleyTheQuinn Sweet! I submitted mine at 11:54pm without knowing about the 5pm deadline haha.
Hiiiiiii party people, i’m pretty late to this thread but I’m joining it now!
Appealed for anthropology major! Appeal was based on a unit count error, and UC-M (Math) requirement to be completed by spring, turns out they want them done by fall but I was not advised of this by my community college counselors.
I’m keeping expectations very low but hopes high on UCLA accepting me just because after going through and researching this process I’m beginning to understand how rare appeals really are.
Good luck to you all.
Now that we’ve all appealed, which university are you guys thinking of SIRing to? I SIRed to CSUN but I’m thinking of attending either UCI or UCSD if I get off the waitlist lol
@HarleyTheQuinn I SIR’d to davis. Waiting on USC at the moment
I Sir’d to UCSB. But also waiting on USC and would probably go there instead of UCSB.
I Sired to Uci and I’m waitlisted at UCSD and waiting for usc two schools that I would go to if I got accepted and ucla obviously
last year some ppl didnt hear back until super late june ?
@slimreaper I checked previous appeal threads and usually based on the date the decisions were posted for people it seems that people get accepted in mid-june, whereas the rest who get rejected is late june. This is purely based on speculation however so anything could happen.
And some people got in around late July, which is horribly late but still a good ending?
Hey y’all, I submitted my appeal on the 14th. I was looking at some old threads where people talked about their appeals. Some were accepted but didn’t talk about what they wrote when others asked them, which is totally fine, But there was one person who got accepted and talked about what they wrote. It was kind of…out of place?
@VeeJoePerra What was it?
@Pepsi1022 Same
@Pepsi1022 @HarleyTheQuinn This one:

Ok, I read it. I can see why you said it was out of place. The Steve Jobs part made me go “Uhh, what?”. Not that their appeal was horrible or anything. It just makes me wonder if what they wrote was considered a really good appeal by UCLA Admissions
@HarleyTheQuinn @VeeJoePerra could be that there was something in the application other then just the appeal. but we will also never know if they were lying or not. like the depression appeal letter they discussed, there are just to many factors.
@Pepsi1022 @HarleyTheQuinn @VeeJoePerra I actually think what they wrote out is pretty helpful and great, the person showed his personality and the Steve jobs thing related to who he was with what he studied. So I’m guessing the appeal is exactly that you have to showcase something different it’s not all about grades anymore we got rejected we have to show them something about us just like that person did in their appeal and no wonder they got accepted
@UniCoIn I see your point, but I feel like their writing contradicts with what UCLA admissions always stress over to us who appeal, which is to provide new information that’s not on their application. It’s usually something that’s affected a student and like the website says, “light new academic and personal information, as well as information pertaining to extenuating circumstances, that had not been present in the application”.
I get that the person wrote theirs unique, but it might not be fair to those who have actually had significant circumstances that affected their application and/or grades and probably some got their appeals rejected. It makes it seem like a joke. Someone on that thread replied to that student skeptically about it too. Appeals can still be about grades though if you were rejected for your low GPA. Theirs was pretty high.
I’m not saying that they didn’t deserve to go to UCLA though. I just think that it doesn’t stick to what UCLA states about what appeals should include. It’s great that they took a different direction but there were probably students out there who had essential circumstances that didn’t get in. I get it’s ok to joke about stuff a bit but sometimes it raises eyebrows. We’re all here trying our best to appeal.
“But, I think the most important part of my essay was how I wrote it. I made it seem like I was accepting UCLA and not the other way around. For instance, in the beginning I started out by saying “I am pleased to inform you that you have been accepted as my university of choice! This year, a large pool of applicants were qualified but nonpareil. Congratulations on surpassing all competing schools.””
I didn’t see that when I first read it but I really don’t think what they’re saying is true. They offered to many snippets when they could have posted the whole appeal, there was probably something else on top of what they claim to have written about that was a more compelling reason why UCLA. Honestly the whole appeal process is shady, I’ve seen some people say you have to convince the school to accept you, similar to what orange did, or provide new information that makes you a stronger applicant and say you need to be reconsidered.
