<p>Alright well, i was looking over my application on ApplyTexas due to my obsession with gaining admittance into UT when I noticed a section that I had overlooked beforehand. </p>
<p>"Please list ALL post-secondary colleges or universities you have previously attended or are presently attending, including for extension, correspondence, and distance learning credit, starting with the most recent. Failure to list all institutions will be considered an intentional omission and may lead to forced withdrawal."</p>
<p>I had realized that I forgot to put down my dual-credit classes I took in high school in this section and send in the transcripts from the institutions. </p>
<p>After realizing my mistake, I quickly got a hold of both of the colleges that I took dual-credit classes in and mailed in the transcripts. But since its past the deadline for transfer students, I'm not to sure on what or how to feel about this.</p>
<p>Am I in deep S*** ? </p>
<p>Any thoughts or comments on this would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>how long after the deadline? if it was just a couple of days, then I personally know situations when everything worked out well. if it was weeks after the deadline, then I don’t know.</p>
<p>The deadline was March 1st. a little over a month after. I mean they’re still waiting on my 30 completed hours so I know they haven’t even looked at my application yet.</p>

I would think so, but i talked to the admissions guys at UT and they said that they specifically need my transcript from each post-secondary institution that i took classes at. </p>

Thank you for lessening my anxiety a bit, however, it states on the applytexas application that<br>
“Please list ALL post-secondary colleges or universities you have previously attended or are presently attending, including for extension, correspondence, and distance learning credit, starting with the most recent. Failure to list all institutions will be considered an intentional omission and may lead to forced withdrawal.”</p>
<p>so because I didnt list them or send my transcripts before the deadline. the admissions people that i talked to said that my incoming transcripts wouldnt even be looked at. So I still am worried about this whole thing. It would be horrible if they rejected or withdrew my application because of this.</p>
<p>Thank you, checksixBR. My situation was comparable to yours, but yes, the big difference is that mine were AP credits and taken at my high school. I forgot that Dual Credit courses are offered at a college or university and would require their own transcripts. Best of luck with your application. I’m hoping that everything works out for you. Please keep us updated.</p>
<p>I assume you are checking your MyStatus daily to see if it changes or offers any clue as to UT’s treatment of this situation. </p>
<p>You said: “so because I didnt list them or send my transcripts before the deadline. the admissions people that i talked to said that my incoming transcripts wouldnt even be looked at.”</p>
<p>You have made a keen observation. You actually made two mistakes: (1) in your application, you failed to list the two colleges where you took dual credit high school courses, and (2) you submitted those college transcripts after the deadline.</p>
<p>So…tardy transcripts alone isn’t that big of a deal, especially in your case–I’m assuming if UT did, in fact, ignore the transcripts for lateness, it wouldn’t hurt your eligibility to transfer because you never claimed them at your current college and you didn’t otherwise count them toward your 30. The real issue, then, is because you didn’t disclose you attended those colleges on your application, what is the proper method for supplementing the application (I assume ApplyTexas offers no means of supplementation), and will they penalize you for submitting a “false” application?</p>
<p>No wonder you are anxious. Too bad the person you talked with at UT wasn’t helpful in relieving your anxiety!</p>
<p>Sometimes, re-defining the problem is helpful. Here’s how I see it:</p>
<p>You mistakenly filed an incomplete application and then promptly supplemented it. </p>
<p>That is very different from making an intentional omission and not correcting it until after the recipient’s investigation turns up the falsehood. (I assume you didn’t make Ds or Fs in those classes! Obviously, bad grades would be a red flag on the issue of intent to conceal–if that was the scenario, you’d definitely need to take a few more steps to get back on track.)</p>
<p>Mistakes happen! You know the maxim: It’s how you recover from your mistakes that’s important. You’ve taken smart first steps to recover from this. You secured and mailed the transcripts as soon as you figured out your error, and you’ve told UT what happened. I’m going to suggest you take one more step.</p>
<p>Calling and talking to an admission officer isn’t really enough here. As you experienced, they’re not in a position to relieve your anxiety–they can only state your obvious failures. Of greater significance is the fact that it’s insufficient to tell them by phone that you made a mistake and did not intentionally submit a false application. There needs to be a written explanation from you in their file so anyone who picks it up will see what you’ve said about failing to identify this coursework in your app and timely supplying transcripts to support it.</p>
<p>(This is an important life lesson: If it isn’t in writing, it didn’t happen! The person on the other end of an important phone call can forget, lose their notes, fail to document your file, be on their last day at work and thus the knowledge is forever lost, etc.)</p>
<p>I encourage you to email Admissions ASAP (preferably your assigned Admissions counselor, but if you don’t have one, then simply Office of Admissions). Your email can and should be to the point. I see you’ve been tracking the language of their rule–that’s savvy. It’s also wise to ask a question and/or offer an appointment in an effort to “force” a reply (otherwise, they will just file it and not communicate anything to you–which is actually what will probably happen!). I’m just making this up as I go, but here’s a rough draft illustrating key concepts: </p>
but my appeals letter is still in progress so theres still a chance. </p>
I am now on-time and my application is complete</p>
