<p>I appealed to UCSB a week ago, and I got accepted yesterday!</p>

<p>Random but does there have to be a specific reason to appeal? Or can you just appeal because you want to get in, like they just didn’t accept you and you want them to take a second look, most likely now including a letter of recommendation or two that you could not submit with the original application?</p>

<p>No you do not need a specific reason to appeal, all you need is at least a 3.0 GPA. When I submitted my appeal, I did not include a letter of recommendation. I sent in a one page appeal letter, and my official transcript which included my spring GPA</p>

<p>And do you know why you were denied in the first place? And what was your major and GPA if you don’t mind me asking (fall and spring)</p>
