What makes an amazing appeal?

<p>I’m considering appealing UCI. Right now my appeal consists of how my depression has affected my interest in my education thus I screwed up my grades, but what else should I put. On the appeal direction it ask for “new and compelling academic information”</p>

<p>Also if you have appealed before and got accepted what did you put?</p>

<p>basically a self inflicted hardship won’t work especially at irvine this year. they had the third most applicants out of all ucs. if you got into somewhere else i suggest you try tht. go ahead and appeal if you really feel strong about your case but its about less than 0.75% chance.(stats according to 2009 appeals granted uci.admissions.edu)</p>

<p>“I have your precious daughter. If you want to see her alive again, you know what you have to do. Thick envelope this time, not thin.”</p>

<p>To strengthen your appeal, I recommend getting as many letters documenting your depression from non-relatives if you can. Did you see a mental health professional or a guidance counselor?</p>

<p>An amazing appeal usually would do something like prove that the transcript the college received was wrong, and your grades really were much higher.</p>
