We regret that we are unable to offer admission to all qualified applicants. UCSB does not set aside space in our
class for students who appeal admission decisions. Every application has gone through extensive reviews.
(See Selection Criteria
for details.) For an appeal to have merit, it must bring to light new information that was not present in the application—information
that clearly shows the student to be stronger overall than had been earlier evidenced.
Submitting an Appeal
-
Send us a letter requesting that we reconsider your application. The letter must be written by the applicant.
- Appeals received after the deadline may not be considered. Email or fax submissions will not be reviewed.
- Postmark Deadline:
- Freshman applicants: April 15, 2008
- Transfer applicants: June 1, 2008
-
The letter must state the applicant’s reasons for appealing the initial decision. The letter should not simply repeat
information that had already been presented in the application.
-
If the basis for the appeal is a changed grade or an incorrectly reported test score, provide documentation
(e.g., a transcript or a revised score report) in the same envelope as your letter of appeal.
- Include copies of all high school and college transcripts (recommended).
- Letters of recommendation are not required. If letters are included, the limit is two.
We expect that we will not be able to respond to appeals until after May 1, the date by which
many institutions require their applicants to make a commitment. We therefore strongly encourage applicants to
consider all of their educational options. While all appeals are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, the rate of
decisions being reversed based upon an appeal have historically been very low.
Mail documents in a single envelope to:

We appreciate your interest in UC Santa Barbara.
