<p>My daughter was initially denied as a transfer student to UCSC for Winter 2010 which was
a surprise coming from a year and half @ CCC with a prior year at Wisconsin. She called admissions and they said some of her work at Wisco did not transfer so she was 4 units shy of the 60 units needed. Her records showed she had well over 60 units subject to transfer for credit and all of it was academic.</p>
<p>She appealed and provided new back up information on the class descriptions along with the comparable course descriptions for UCSC. </p>
<p>She's called admissions & they said they have made a decision. It's in the mail they've said twice. Second time they said snail mail. She couldn't tell if the on-line rejection on the portal was the same as the one they originally sent. It looked the same.</p>
<p>On appeals, do they typically send an acceptance to the portal first?
We've got some heavy trips going back and forth to the mailbox with fading hopes.
Any thoughts?</p>
<p>"All information must be received in one packet, postmarked by November 13, 2009. Faxed appeals or e-mail appeals will not be given consideration. Appeals filed by someone other than the student, or appeals that are incomplete, will not be given consideration.</p>
<p>Decisions will be communicated the week of December 1, 2009, and students will be required to meet the SIR acceptance deadline."</p>
<p>– From the bottom of the page containing information about the Appeals Process.</p>
<p>Did your daughter apply anywhere else for Winter/Spring? If not, maybe she should apply for Fall 2010 just to be safe, since appeal decisions for UCSC won’t be released until December and UC applications close on November 30th. Good luck and hope everything works out!</p>
<p>UCSC was her only Winter application (not much else open in Winter) so she’s forced now to apply for Fall 2010 because of the deadlines and it will likely be a multiple application effort not just confined to UC–non refundable fees too. Sure wish she wasn’t in limbo. She was calling admissions in hopes of getting their decision before Dec 1. Thanks for the encouragement!</p>
