I need help with my letter of appeal.

I just finished my second draft for my letter of appeal to UCI. If anybody has time, I need help with suggestions to make my letter more compelling and proofreading. I'll appreciate any help I can get.

Didn't the deadline pass over a month ago?

Yes, but I spoke with a transfer counselor and she told me that I can still appeal. I just have to do it quick.

Re: I need help with my letter of appeal.

Transfer appeals...i would write about how much you had planned earlier to transfer to UCI. Just show them your interest in UCI and your major.

If you have finished most of the assist courses then you can prove your point. Also, any improvement in grades for the winter and spring quater can help. I know quite a few people who have succesfully appealed to UCB and UCD...so give it a try.

Thanks for the advice! On my letter of appeal, I focused mainly on how I improved and the factors that caused the improvement (mostly change of major). I did have a successful winter and spring quarter, so hopefully that can help. I also got two letters of recommendation, but I do not know how much those will help.

Once again, if anybody has time to spare, I would appreciate any help with proofreading and suggestions for my letter of appeal.
