Appealing an Admissions Decision

Many students have already received admissions notifications from the universities they have applied to, and UC Berkeley is expected to release admissions decisions on April 30. If you are denied admissions, you might want to appeal the decision if you can provide some new or additional information that was not included in your UC application. Here are some links to Berkeley, Los Angeles, and San Diego's websites with helpful information about appealing:

Berkeley: http://students.berkeley.edu/admissions/general.asp?id=113&navid=N

Los Angeles: http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/appealstr.htm

San Diego: http://www.ucsd.edu/prospective-students/admissions/undergraduate-admissions/transfer/admission.html
Please note that the San Diego link is for Transfer Student Services. No appeals information has been posted yet for Fall 2010 admissions, so contact TSS if you have a question about appealing an admissions decision.

For any other UC or university campus, contact the Undergraduate Admissions office for information about appealing a denial. Again, you can only appeal if you have new or additional information to provide that was not included in your original application.

Stress Management Resources

Spring Break is over, but summer is still seven weeks away, and there's lots of work to do between now and then. We all need to be aware of the effects of stress in our lives and learn how to better manage stress so that we can function as our best selves. Following is a link to a website with links to various university online resources on managing stress. Thanks to Mr. Nathan Grimm of the SR Education Group for sharing this link with me.
