UCSB Appeals

<p>yeah but I think their appeal rate must have been higher this year. I know a couple other people who got in off of the appeal too</p>

<p>Is anyone else's appeal still pending?</p>

<p>can we get money back from our other UC sir's??? because i already sent in $100???</p>

<p>i don't think so...they don't refund the sir fee, since it is stated non-refundable on the terms and conditions</p>

<p>I know someone who cheated on an appeal( they used an essay from another person/ had another person write their essay) and I am really disappointed, because i have worked so much harder than them and they got in on appeal. They did not have substantial grade improvement, no extra's, and i dont even think the topic of the essay stated anything about the major they wanted to be in. any suggestions because i feel that this person does not deserve to be at a top university if they cheated their way in!!</p>

<p>i checked with teh admissions office and they said that they had a VERY high number os ftusdents graduating this year. so after they sent out acceptance letters in March they realized that they could offer more freshmen admision. I called and spoke with a representative and they said that they received about 900 appeals and gave admission to about half of them!</p>
