<p>Please reply to this thread if you would like to read/edit my appeal and tell me what you think. You can also PM me, which is actually preferable. In return, I can help read/edit your appeal(if you have one)</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks to those that PMed me so far guys! Keep it coming! :P</p>

<p>with your stats, im a bit surprised that you were rejected by UCLA… </p>

<p>how were you ECs in HS? how about your essays?</p>

<p>I PMed you my ECs, and if you want, I can PM you my essays too.</p>

<p>From UCLA:</p>

<p>The average admitted applicant to UCLA for Fall 2010 had a weighted GPA (a GPA that includes all extra grade points for honors or AP coursework) of 4.38, an unweighted GPA (no extra points) of 3.87, an SAT Reasoning Test score of 2028, SAT Subject scores (we use highest scores from any two of five subject areas) of 734 and 685, 21 semesters of honors/AP course work completed between 10th and 12th grades, and 51 semesters of college prep course work overall.</p>

<p>Remember that for your appeal to be considered, you must prove that you are a much stronger candidate than what was presented in your application. Specifically, you must present **new **and **compelling **information that was ***not previously available ***to the admissions office.</p>

<p>bump, thanks for the PMs so far everyone</p>

<p>Wow OP…based on your stats, you must have had written crappy essays…I can’t believe you got so cocky.</p>

<p>Anyone else? Thanks to those that helped me so far on my appeal. I may have written crappy essays…who knows? I thought they were alright.</p>
