Not sure if this helps anyone, but I appealed my rejection that I received in March. I was accepted yesterday morning in warren college (my top choice)!
Incoming freshman, major in Bio. 31 ACT, 4.0 UC GPA
@peyton12202 Did they send you an email to let you know or did you just check the portal?
@ca1349 They sent me an email to check my portal because an update had been made.
@peyton12202 what did you talk about in your appeal? I’m still waiting on my decision. Im also a bio major with a 33 ACT and a 3.9 GPA.
@pdiddy415 in my appeal letter, I wrote that I hadn’t included a previous ACT that would super score my 30 to a 31, that my overall GPA would show a .2 increase in my latest highschool transcript, and some personal issues during my sophomore year that resulted in a lower than average GPA for me that year
@peyton12202: UCSD does not superscore the ACT so that would not be a contributing factor to your acceptance. Unless you actually ask UCSD admissions why you were accepted, there is no way to know for sure.
After I submitted my appeal, I received my most recent grades which are so much higher than the previous ones. I emailed them the transcript a few days ago but does anyone know whether or not they’d take into consideration because of receiving it after submitting the appeal? and does anyone know whether or not calling and pleading my case would help my chances?
@peyton12202 Damn I wrote something similar about a huge recent GPA boost and issues during sophomore year but I haven’t heard back yet. Keeping my fingers crossed though!
@pdiddy415 good luck!!!
@peyton12202 You hear of anyone else that got accepted through an appeal so far?
@pdiddy415 i haven’t heard about anyone else who was accepted from sending an appeal
My son got off the waitlist today 5/13. Biology major.
Anyone have any tips/advice on the data science major at UCSD vs data science at UCSB? Is UCSD a better school than UCSB overall? anyone on the same situation (or computer science major) which school you chose and why? any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
I just got off the waitlist yesterday and I got into the international studies- international business in Warren College. I already committed to UCI and studying business administration. I would love to go to UCSD, but I heard that their IB is not really good since they don’t have a lot of companies recruiting students with this major. Which school offers the better major? I really need advice. Thank you.
