Instructions on how to appeal from a helpful UC Admissions-Help Site:

Things didn’t go your way? For instructions on how to appeal …

Davis: http://admissions.ucdavis.edu/admissions/fr_nonadmitted.cfm. Scroll down to May I appeal my denial of admission?

Berkeley doesn’t have an official site with the appeals process, but the Pilipino Academic Student Services has a very nice summary of how the whole thing works: http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~pass/resources/appeals.htm

Irvine: http://www.admissions.uci.edu/not_admitted.html#appeals

UCLA: https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/AppealsFr.htm for freshmen and https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/AppealsTr.htm for transfers.

Merced: As far as I can tell, there is no instruction available online on how to file an appeal. Call the Admissions Office at (209) 228-4682 or toll free in California (866) 270-7301 for information.

Riverside: As far as I can tell, there is no instruction available online on how to file an appeal. Call the Admissions Office at (951) 827-3411 for information.

San Diego: http://admissions.ucsd.edu/online_appeal_info.pdf

Santa Barbara: http://www.admissions.ucsb.edu/parentcounselor/Appealprocess.asp

Santa Cruz: http://admissions.ucsc.edu/apply/froshNotAdmitted.cfm#appeal for freshmen http://admissions.ucsc.edu/apply/upperTransfNotAdmitted.cfm#appeal for transfers.

Remember, telling the admissions office they made a huge mistake is not going to help you. You must present new and compelling information that was not previously available to the admissions office.
