<p>So i got rejected from UCLA and i was wondering who here has gotten in using an appeal or plans to do so? On what are you going to base your appeal on?</p>
<p>I am appealing. My guidance counselor and principal both are sending letters on my behalf. Basically my reason for appeal was because my school is new (only its third graduating class) they have been switching up the cirriculum a lot. I have no AP classes offered to me, so they may have been under the misconception that I did not take the most difficult courseload I could. As it turned out, 3 of my classes are now for credit at Seton Hall University which wasn't known before, and I also plan on taking the AP stat and AP US history without having taken the class.</p>
<p>Here are my stats:
Out of state
4.0 UW GPA
2150 SAT
770 710 SAT II
Sports editor for newspaper, math club pres, multicultural club, nhs, tutor homeless kids, aau baseball team, took Cisco Certified Neworking Certification course, worked full time 2 summers for the army in a business management office.</p>
<p>dodgerblue, that sounds like a legit appeal. although i think you're OOS, so maybe it was tougher for you. anyway, you're the first person i've seen this year with a legit appeal tactic, so good luck to you.</p>
<p>I'm definitely appealing. My mom's job just got moved to memphis. She will be commuting either 5 days a week, or 3 out of every 4 weeks. My father and my 8 year old brother will stay in LA. But my father works from 8-6 in Irvine, which is about 60 miles away. This leaves me with the responsibility of taking care of my brother: driving him to school and taking care of him afterwards. This is a circumstance that has just arisen, and I don't know what I would do if I had to leave LA.

<p>Thanks kfc4u. All I can do is hope. It is worth a shot I figure. Otherwise it'll be Texas McCombs or USC or UVA if I get in one of those. </p>
<p>I was really looking forward to starting my new fan club at UCLA- the Mbah a Moute Maniacs in honor of Luc Richard, my favorite Bruin.</p>
<p>Appeal sent today, certified mail. Hopefully I hear something back by the first week in April.</p>
<p>good luck dodger blue; hope it works out!</p>
