So I have a L1R5 of 12 raw, after CCA deductions is 10. I wanted to get 9 so I can get into MJC, so it was a real disappointment. Silly me thought it was fine, since I was only 1 point away. Turns out when I asked around the chances of me getting in is near zero. The next choice would be SRJC, but none of my friends are going there (it seems like a stupid reason but bear with me). Both schools are nearly of equal proximity, but many of my friends are going to MJC. Also, my parents are scolding the hell out of me, saying that SRJC is not as good and if I go in I’ve wasted my 4 years studying since I’m only as good as a 12 pointer blah blah etc. So I want to appeal into MJC, but I don’t have any special CCA thing they want and they didn’t say anything about non-CCA appeals. This is also my first time trying to appeal, so I don’t even know a single thing to do. Or should I just settle for SRJC and call it a day? I REALLY want to get into MJC but I’m also okay with SRJC. Please help me, I’m very lost. Many thanks.
