<p>I respectfully suggest you move on.</p>
<p>You got rejected. UCI gets many more applicants than they can accept.</p>
<p>They didn’t take you.</p>
<p>Rejection is part of life. Get used to it. Girls. Jobs. Colleges. Grad Schools.</p>
<p>Saying that “I really really want to go to your school” is not grounds for appeal".</p>
<p>Half the people on CC will probably be rejected at their top choice.</p>
<p>Last year, my son was waitlisted at his top choice.</p>
<p>No harm in trying though.</p>
<p>Also, you can also try to transfer in.</p>
