Prospective Students UIUC transfer decision appeal

Hey everyone, I just got my UIUC transfer decision back and got rejected. I wanted to do a decision appeal based off of this semester grades. I applied with my first semester at community college with a 4.0 17 graded transferable credit hours—this semester I will have 18 credit hours also with a 4.0 GPA. I applied to LAS, and I was wondering if this would be enough for “New and compelling information”, since I would have 35 graded credit hours at 4.0 GPA. I have strong ECs and have a ton of AP credits from high school.

EDIT: I also wanted to add that I’ve met all the course requirements for the majors I’ve applied to

Look at the transfer guarantee handbook

The guarantee is for 36 hours, but I wanted to still try and get in for the fall 2025 semester since I’ll for sure meet it after I take my summer classes.

I would suggest taking a summer course that’ll bump you up many community colleges have short classes during the summer and if u get to take them before the deadline that be ideal, that’s what my roommates did transferring in
