A friend of mine recently got his girlfriend pregnant. She’s going to UC Davis. They’ve been in a serious relationship for about a year, and rather than being upset that all the precautions they’ve taken failed (birth control, condoms), he is ecstatic to meet his future daughter/son and be a father. He is worried about the financial difficulties, but his family makes about 100k+ annually, so he thinks he will be able to have support from them.

However, he was rejected to Davis, and really wants to go there to a) be with his girlfriend/future-wife and future-offspring and also b) it was his #1 top choice and he is devastated to have been rejected. Would that be grounds for him to appeal to Davis? He was also the one I wrote about earlier, whose grandmother died last November. Also, would they want documentation or proof?

He is not sure how he feels about exploiting his future son/daughter just to get into his #1 school and to be with them, but he has asked me for my opinion and I honestly think he should go for it.

What do you guys think?
