<p>For UCSD, do we have to also send money along with the appeal? I was looking at the PDF file that talked about the appeals process, but it never said that we needed to send money. Does anybody know?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I doubt it but 99.9% of them time you will still be rejected unless something MAJOR changed in you application ie you got cancer or drastically boosted your SAT score.</p>
<p>Are you seriously discouraging him from appealing? I say you do it. Out of 1000 appeals, about 20-100 people are accepted. There was even a 25% appeal rate for Irvine.</p>
<p>@ cliffdive: where are you getting your statistics?</p>
<p>Actually, there’s an 8% appeal success rate for UCSD last year. It said on that PDF sheet that UCSD linked.</p>
<p>@amateurcollegegu: yep, one of those two option that you posted is true, but it happened to one of my family members, and it did affect some parts of my application that I didn’t explain, so I do believe that I do have grounds for an appeal.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if we have to send in a payment?</p>
<p>that pdf sheet for fall 2003. so it’s outdated, but appeal success rate probably won’t change much…</p>
<p>i don’t think there is a payment…but u can include 10 dollars cash…the appeal officer might like that…</p>
<p>hahahhaha yeah, that’s what I thought. Thanks!</p>
<p>19/626 appeals to USC were admitted to fall last year, 22 were admitted to spring.</p>
<p>Honestly you should have explained the situation in the “extra comments” section. Now you sound like a kid who searched his life for a problem to get grounds for an appeal (if I were the adcom).</p>
<p>“UCSD
Applicants who believe an error was made may write a letter of appeal. Applicants must write their own letters. Transfer applicants should include updated official transcripts from each of the schools they have attended.”</p>
