I have read past forums regarding the wait-list and I’m sure I’m not the only one researching the odds of receiving admission & I’m sure there are people who have gotten off the wait-list and that can offer tips or info–so, I just thought that whoever comes to see this forum could reply and share.

My stats:
I didn’t do so well on my SAT or ACT, but I’ve maintained A’s & B’s.
Cumulative GPA: 3.8
Weighted: 4.0
Undeclared, life science
I have done a lot of community service and joined many clubs. I was the Co-Captain of the Academic Decathlon and was in student government. I have taken extra courses such as, American Sign Language and Medical Assisting. I really hope I have a second chance of getting off the wait-list—

Based on last year’s stats, it doesn’t look like LA accepts too many off of the waitlist. It could be different this year though with the budget thing still in motion.http://■■■■■■■■■■■■/home/fall-2014-last-year-frosh-waitlist-appeal-cancellation-numbers/

@niktheslick, that’s great! Make sure to keep all of us updated-- Did you ever think of doing an appeal instead? and did you fill out the optional box? if so, what did you write?

@niktheslick, best of luck to you now!-- I’m still debating on whether to accept the offer or write an appeal; I do feel like I have a strong case, but it’s difficult to tell which of the two will actually be successful.
