Well...The Worst Possible Happened...
Ive been dreaming of USC (SCali) my whole life. Countless forums, people, counselors have told me not to worry about any safety schools. I was set, and ready to see the acceptance letter in my mailbox last night...
We got home from palm springs...great vacation... got outta the car, opened the mailbox, and found the SC letter, except it was a regular size letter.  Oh my god. I have been rejected from a school that I had my hopes upon. I was relying on this, and now i have been screwed over. I HAVE to appeal, because this is my last Uni I was waiting for, and I didn't expect a letter starting with "And I am sorry to say that..." Here are my stats: GPA: 3.6 SAT: 1330 200 Hours volunteering at USC Hospital Interviewed by Dean of Admissions Got a Letter from SC, "we asked for the most successful...they gave us your name..." And these: Offices Held, Activities and Organizations Providence Mock Trial Team, 2003 and 2004, Tennis, Basketball, and Football Sports and Fitness Club, Friends Against Drugs Club, Rocketry / Aviation Club 2001-2005 Volunteering at the following organizations: USC University Hospital (8 hours per month) Chamlian Armenian School / Sherman Oaks Elementary School (3-5 hours per month) Tutoring Elementary and High School students Boys and Girls Club (tutoring, reading, sports with children) (3-4 hours per month) Helping feed the homeless around the county of Los Angeles (1-2 hours per month) Boys’ State Delegate of 2004 Close-Up: Washington D.C.

Call up Dean of Admission and if necessary talk to him in person and find out the reason. This can be an error.
