UCSD Appeal

Hi there! I didn’t see a thread about appealing UCSD so I decided to create one. I’m an international student currently studying at a high school in California. I was so sad about the rejection from UCSD because it was my top choice college. I submitted the appeal letter via a form in my admission portal on 3/27 and they said the decisions are gonna be released by May 15th. I’m still waiting for the decision but one of my friend who submitted an appeal on April received the decision on 4/13 and she got rejected… I’m not sure how the appeal process work so I committed to UW to make sure I have a college to go. Here are some of my stats:

SAT: 1490(CR+W: 700 Math: 790) only taken once. GPA: UC GPA:4.10 weighted and 3.85 unweighted. TOEFL: 105
ECS: Not so special, couple of volunteer/community services, two jobs(paid), and some clubs. I’m also a member of national honors society.
Major: Economics Alt Choice: Political Science.
Reason for appeal: I only took 1 AP class before my senior year but now I’m taking four APs and got a 4.5 weighted UC GPA. I think it could be a strong evidence that I could handle the rigor of classes at UCSD…

Anyone also submitted an appeal? The ddl passed two days ago.

I’m with at the same boat as you (also an international student currently at high school of CA :wink:
No idea how they are going to review, but I do believe the appeal success rate is really low since they don’t even encourage students to appeal…

Anyway, at this point you shouldn’t be worry too much since all you can do is eating patiently and finish strong for your senior year!!

BEST LUCK!!!
