URGENT: Special case, appeal problems.

<p>Hello, i need some advice and I'd appreciate it if you can take a little time to help me out. I am a soon-to-be senior in highschool, my grades from 9-10 werre As and Bs. Junior year my house caught on fire the beginning of the year, and i lost everything i ever owned, including a brand new Camaro. this hit me harder than you can imagine. my grades dropped significantly. so as of right now i have a 3.00 GPA and about 1700 SAT score. i know NO UC schools will take me initially, so i planned to make appeals to every UC school, my goal is UCSB at best, and UCR at the least. what are your opinions of my appeal chances?</p>

<p>I plan to major in psychology, it only make sense in my situation after all i went through.</p>

<p>You never know, you can definitely appeal and I think your appeals would be very successful. Your house setting on fire is a SERIOUS case and I know the admissions office are smart enough to realize the aftermath of something that major happening.</p>
