<p>@dagoberto: “Sometimes is all about finding the right person to get in contact with.”
I emailed two admission counselors on UCSD website, one told me to apply next year, the other one told me they will reconsider my appeal again 
no good news yet, but you were right! “my” admission counselor was really harsh, but the lady I am exchanging email with is so nice…I’ll see what happens.</p>
