So I got accepted, but BARELY. I had a 3.2 on the money, majored in history. I think it was because I went from a 2.something to getting straight A’s for a fully loaded year. I wrote my statement based on a life changing transfomation that got me to become a better student.
Anyway, on my app, I had listed as “planning” a two unit speech and debate club class. In the end, the class got officially cancelled around march first, and I didn’t send an email notifying the UCs. I had no control over not taking the class, but possibly might get penalized for not reporting it. I thought it was too late and might cause confusion if it was too late. Other than that, everything is fine.
So I’m just worried since I barely made it in I imagine, this might just be the last straw or something… Or am I paranoid? I would hate to lose my spot at UCLA for this one mistake!
Report it ASAP because if it’s an issue, they might give you a provision to take it in the summer. But if you wait too long, it might be too late to sign up for a summer course and they’ll just rescind.
@alicantekid @“aunt bea” do you think I should write something in the comments about being willing to take a summer course in case I was admitted based on a certain number of units?
IMO, if it’s an issue, they will tell you what they want you to do. I would not offer up the suggestion first. But as has already been said, I would notify them ASAP, so you can react to ant requirements to make of you.
Okay, got it, @skieurope . During this process, do they usually give options before rescinding? Or at least notify you and give you a chance to respond?
Nobody knows except admissions; they sometimes give options, but I can’s put a percentage with it. Again, the best advice I can give is to be proactive. Some admitted students take the ostrich approach and stick their heads in the sand hoping the college won’t notice. Well, they will notice, so don’t be one of those people. College admissions is too critical to play the “ask permission first or beg forgiveness later” game.
