<p>Hey, </p>

<p>Some of Cal's emails have made it sound like they don't want any updates to your application. </p>

<p>I've won an award and heard back from NMSC, should I email them, or is that contrary to their instructions? </p>

<p>I don’t think they want any updates. If it contradicts something on your original app (like dropping a planned class) it’s good to update them… for anything else, it’ll probably just make them think you can’t follow instructions.</p>

<p>Those were my thoughts as well! I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t misreading them. I am not going to send them anything. Complete radio silence. Nervous, slightly charged, radio silence. :slight_smile: Thanks!</p>

<p>So is there anything else we should do besides update if we could not get into a (non-essential) class we listed as planned? Or simply update?</p>

<p>They pretty much say they don’t want to hear from you-- I thought there was a coda on that for major changes (like the situation you list above), but I wasn’t reading carefully for that. I’d go check their site if that’s the case for you!</p>

<p>There’s no point in sending anything now. I think they already made decisions for almost all freshman applicants. But I wonder if calling to update something important on your application would hint at your decision. If they take the update does that indicate an acceptance?</p>

<p>@TheUnderdog1 - Are you a transfer? If you are, and you can’t get a planned/IP class this late, you should probably call the schools and update them. If it’s not a pre-req/IGETC class, I doubt it’d affect decisions, but there’s a chance it’ll get you into trouble (or rescinded) if they don’t know.</p>

<p>Yeah I am a transfer. I called all the UC’s and surprisingly each one of them simply said update my transfer application. But I keep reading there is more to it from other people on the forums. Just nervous maybe I spoke to an uninformed admissions officer. But they told me to just update my app, I hope that’s all because it would suck if they didn’t tell me the full process and I get rescinded for “not informing” them.</p>
