As of yesterday I have been rejected from UCSB, UCLA, and UCSD. I also applied to Berkeley, but I’m not holding my breath anymore.
I’m a California native and CA community college student of Hispanic descent. My cumulative GPA is 3.93 (one B in a class unnecessary for admission, otherwise As) and my GPA as a Philosophy major is 4.0. I put down Religious Studies as my alternate, but I plan on double-majoring in it anyway.
In terms of my ECs, I am a group instructor for a symbolic logic class of 100+ students at my CC, TA for my department chair, have received a merit scholarship for a philosophical research paper, and I’ve participated in my college’s Philosophy Club since it started up last year. I’ve also tutored my nephew with learning disabilities in English/mathematics for the past few years. (Also, my brother was a Bruin, but there wasn’t really a place for that in the application.)
My personal statements essentially centered around my love for philosophy and interest in studying it at the graduate level, as well as being a first-generation college student and aspiring professor, etc. I had an amazing time with both prompts.
My reason for creating this thread is that after reviewing my UC application recently, there was a message that I had 58 of the 60 required units to enter as a Junior. However, I reported AP credit, and that wasn’t included in the count; I actually have 61 units. I’m also in the process of completing my IGETC math and science stuff this semester, but I have all As as of my most recent mid-term report, and I’m not sure that merits unanimous rejection.
Should I appeal? Is it possible that my application was overlooked due to this? I’ve worked extremely hard and I’m so crushed. 
Thanks in advance to anyone who can yield his/her opinion, and congratulations to those who have been admitted. :x
