<p>I got UCLA regents consideration (top 1.5% of UCLA applicant pool), and have pretty good stats (2300+, 4.2+ UC GPA, 5’s on 5+ AP Tests, etc.). However, I applied to EECS, and don’t have any significant CS accomplishments. Is it worth it for me to appeal? I got into UCLA CSE, which is roughly equivalent to EECS in terms of acceptance rates, so I thought that I would be at least waitlisted, and I really do want to go to Berkeley.
In terms of new accomplishments, I’ve only gotten a few substantial ones since November, but they mainly relate to a non CS related EC.</p>
<p>I would appeal if I were you. Good luck!</p>
<p>EECS is a very impacted major and your stats are normal for accepted students to EECS. Unless you have compelling new information, appeal will be worthless.</p>
<p>“your stats are normal for accepted students to EECS”
Isn’t that exactly the point–if my stats are normal for admitted students, then shouldn’t I have been admitted? Or are you implying that to get accepted through an appeal, I need to be better than the admitted students? </p>
