<p>I just called UCLA Admissions and this was the conversation I had after waiting half an hour.</p>
<p>Me: I would like to know why I was rejected.
Her: Your GPA didn’t make the cut for your major, Economics.
Me: What was it set at?
Her: 3.8. You didn’t make it.
Me: Is there anything I could say in an appeal to overturn the decision?
Her: No. Stay another year at community college and get your GPA up.
Me: I already did that. I was TAP certified too.
Her: I know. Your GPA was still too low for admission into that major.</p>
<p>Great. I’m still writing an appeal.</p>
