hey guys---
I just wanted to pass on my advice, based on my experience last year...
my top choice was UCLA...for many reasons it was the only school I really really wanted.
I got a secondary from UCLA...only to be rejected without an interview a couple months later. But someone I know had heard through the grapevine that you can appeal your rejections and they suggested I give it a shot. So I did...had to write a letter to the dean explaining why I felt I deserved an interview and why I wanted UCLA so bad. Well...a couple weeks later I was offered an interview....and ultimately I was accepted to UCLA, where I am currently in my first semester.
I just wanted to pass this on, because I had no idea that this was an option...if I hadn't known this person who suggested it to me, I would have just sadly accepted my rejection.
I know this is a killer process...for those of you who are holding your breath for a particular school....don't go down without a fight!!!
