When I originally applied I had a 3.17. The basis for my appeal was that my overall GPA raised to 3.5 since I applied in fall. I’m an intercampus transfer from another similarly ranked UC and I really didn’t like the party atmosphere of my school and I felt like I couldn’t succeed there. This past semester I was at a more difficult school and got a 4.0, so I think this is why my appeal was approved.
And I was admitted to political science.
@triton3000 thanks! Much appreciated!
@ttop220 hey mine had the same thing as well. From being reviewed for my appeal to the wait list confirmation lol
I got accepted from appeal. I sent in my appeal on the beginning of May and heard back around the end of May (I didn’t even know i got in, no emails or phone calls or anything about the updates). That was pretty dramatic in my opinion, because after reading all those college confidential posts about how low of the acceptance rate for UCSD, I didn’t put any hope on getting in by appeal. I noticed that I got in from a “Reminder” email from UCSD admission office saying that the last day to be a Triton is July 1. And I was like… But… I didn’t even get in LOL. So I asked my fd who got waitlisted from UCSD, did she get any similar emails. When she said NO, I still think that’s just a general email for all applicants who applied for 2015 Fall. So my fd was like, why don’t you check your status, it won’t hurt. And I am glad that I DID!!
