Is this a strong case for appealing denial decision?

I think that you have cause to appeal. Make it clear that you had to work in your father’s shop 6 days a week to help with your family’s finances. Your work schedule greatly impacted your study schedule but due to your good work ethic and perseverance you were still able to achieve success in high school. Your past work ethic shows you would be a good fit and a successful student at UCSD.

Be sure to use the on-line appeals form that UCSD requires. It is very simple and allows you a very limited word count to present your appeal. Do not go over the word count. Here is a link for the form: https://students.ucsd.edu/_my_application/_files/admitfaqnfrsnrt.pdf. You have to sign in to access the form and then submit it on-line. The sooner you submit, the better. My son appealed in 2013 and was admitted within 2 weeks. Good luck and keep us posted.
