@solostish Definitely call admissions on Monday. There has to be a specific reasons why you were rejected to have those stats for Political Science.

@screenname34 I emailed them already. God if this lead to a rejection I don’t even know. But this is not a pre-req or strongly recommended. idk

@solostish I was accepted with a 3.93 in Political Science and missing 1 pre-req. Definitely contact admissions and see what’s going on.

@BigPanda keep me in the loop please! I live next to campus so I’m going to talk to them Monday. So far there are 6 of us this has happened to, and I’m 100% confident I didn’t list the courses on my TAU so it’s highly unlikely we can be penalized for their fuckup

Thank you! can we deny the loans??

Accepted!!!
Major: Sociology Major GPA: 4.0

@screenname34 I called both the dean office and they transfer me to an other place. And then they told me to call admission which is not available right now. I emailed them though.

@TheVisionary I will. It’s just super weird to me, because I felt as though I had done everything right. Has anybody’s decision ever been reversed into acceptance?

I’ve lurked this forum for a while so I just thought i’d post my stats!

@solostish Definitely appeal. I need to do that for one of my schools I applied to as well. You never know. I doubt calling them over the phone will automatically reverse your decision and I doubt they’ll provide insightful information as to why you got rejected, besides the usual “tons of applicants, very competitive”

@kizzle89 How did you check your financial aid?!
