UC Berkeley Rejection Appeal for Class of '24

Hi everyone!

I was recently rejected by UC Berkeley for Class of 2024, but I was thankfully accepted to USC. However, I am planning to write a rejection appeal due to financial reasons. My intended major is Business, and I have completed most of my prerequisites to apply for Haas because of dual enrollment at my local community college.

I would be fine with attending USC but it is expensive for my family and I would have to retake the classes for my major again. What are some reasons to include in my rejection appeal? Thank you.

Applicants who would also like to use this as a forum for rejection appeals are welcome to do so. Thank you!

Financial is not a good reason to appeal. USC has pretty good finaid for low income students, and Cal knows that. Moreover, if you really want a biz degree from UC, they think UC-Riverside is a fine choice.

Sorry.

Yes, I would also like to know how to appeal to UC Berkeley.

Hello where to send appeal letter? Thanks

there’s an option to appeal in the Q&A given in your rejection letter

Thank you
