<p>I am appealing this year and I am wondering what people included in their appeal letter. Have people appealed in past years and got in?</p>
<p>i appealed to SB last year and got in and i know couple of people who appealed too and got in last year haha</p>
<p>I’m also appealing for Fall 2011. If you don’t mind my asking, what was the basis of your/your friends’ successful appeals, Shibykin?</p>

<p>Dear Members of the Appeals Committee,</p>
<p>I write to ask that my first-year application for the fall 2011 entering class be re-evaluated based on substantive new information. Enclosed, please find:</p>
<p>transcript</p>
<p>letters of recomendation</p>
<p>I want you to know that I am currently working on…</p>
<p>I am very interested in attending UCSB. I hope the new information provided will allow the members of the Admissions Committee to know me better and to change my admission decision from waitlist to accept.</p>

Do you need letters of recomendation for appealing?</p>
<p>I’m not sure if its required but it definitely would help considering they don’t look at it on the UC Application</p>
<p>I am on the waitlist and my status says so, but I sent in an appeal about two weeks ago. Where do you see if it is received? Is it in an obvious spot and mine just hasn’t been received?</p>
<p>Mine says it’s been received right under the application status. </p>
<p>It says appeal - received decision pending</p>
<p>you dont need letters of recommendation however it helps although i got in SB as well as some of my other friends through appeal without letters of rec, so its definitely possible.</p>
<p>As for when you guys will hear from appeals. THey usually admit people through the waitlist first and then release appeal decisions. I didn’t hear from them until around mid-May.</p>
