<p>Hey guys, since I was all over this thread at the beginning of the month, I just want to let you know that I successfully appealed UCSD and they admitted me… HOORAY!!! See y’all on campus in the fall.
:)</p>
<p>Congrats man!</p>
<p>writing down my experience for other future applicants…</p>
<p>out of high school i went to art school and decided after a year that my career interests was elsewhere so i took a leave of absence and came back home to LA to transfer out of a CC. I spent two years at a CC and applied to UCSD with a 4.0. A bad fall semester brought my gpa down to a 3.7, but i still felt confident that i would get in. April 30th finally rolled around along with a rejection from UCSD. I ended up traveling down there (i was going that way anyways) the next weekend to talk to an admission officer. He looked at my application and told me that i had an overall 2.8 gpa. He went through my college transfer gpa’s; SFAI: 4.0, PCC: 3.7, SAIC: 0.0. I immediately protested the last gpa explaining that SAIC did not use a letter grading system and that i passed all the courses i took there. He got on the phone with the admissions director and after a few minutes he hung up and told me that i was accepted. </p>
<p>To sum up everything, if you dont get into your college of choice, call to find out why. In my case it was simply a calculation error on the admission’s behalf, and the decision was reversed on the spot.</p>

<p>An art school that doesn’t use grades? I am Jack’s utter lack of surprise.</p>
