<p>Under transcripts received, mine has been checked off for like two weeks and it never got validated. But I just checked now and it's unchecked?!!!</p>
<p>Whats going on!! Anyone else experience this?</p>
<p>nope, mine are all checked off</p>
<p>HypochOndriac, it does not surprise me in the least that your box was checked off an now is not. By their own admission, UCSD accepted too many kids and that's probably a huge part of the reason hundreds of them got a letter redcinding their admissions. They are forcing kids to scramble to find their guidance counselors over the summer (which isn't always easy) to rectify the situation...because truly, they want all of these students to just go quietly away and figure there is nothing they can do! Well, if the people that have all had problems on CC would stop being so apathetic, and would start taking action against the UCSD threat letter, maybe some change will be made. I am a mom of one of those that got the rescind letter and it is criminal on the part of UCSD!~</p>
<p>at least there were all checked off at one point...
I still have a few to go. Well Hep and Official Scores anyways</p>
<p>People are really jumping to conclusions too quickly here.</p>
<p>Just do what people of any other year (crowded or uncrowded) would do when faced with such a situation - talk to the admissions office, find out what has gone wrong where, reaffirm with the high school that transcripts have been sent and will be resent, and keep on admissions' case until the student receives a solution.</p>
<p>Its not anything earth-shatteringly new. Many people have gone through these types of problems before. Just stick with the tried and true method to get things back on track, and everything will be a-ok.</p>
<p>WayyyTooWorried,
Your advice sounds so easy, but what you are missing here is that what the vice Chancellotr of UCSD did in sending out withdrawal of admissions letters was highly unethical!!! People who are ready to enroll at UCSD should be outraged if they got that letter on multiple letters. My son has contacted several university admissions officers and every one of them said that the way a lost transcript or hep b form was handled by UCSD is unconscionable! If as student has done all the things on the check off list and has made a $500 housing deposit and signed up for their orientation, any leading university knows that either the transcript was lost in the mail or not yet processed because of heavy volume. But in either case, the university would simply contact the student and tel them, there is one piece they are missing and they need to resubmit it within maybe 3 days time to rectify the situation. A quality university does not send a letter by email saying "Your admissions is withdrawn, any classes you signed up for are being cancelled, and we will contact housing to let them know you aren't admitted anymore" And then, to top it off the horrifying email came from a bogus "no reply" address so that the students couldn't respond and the phone number the vice chancellor gave to contact was a non working number! I'm sorry, but that is not the way a prestigious university handles incopming freshman; it is more than a disgrace; it is criminal! When you finally did get through to them on 7/31 to tell them you wanted to rectify this, their instructions were to send a new transcript overnight with a letter from your guidance counselor attesting to the fact that he sent it in the 1st time by the due date, and a letter from the student saying that they had asked for the final transcript to be sent by the July 15 due date. Many kids have no way to even reach the guidance counselor over the summer! Moreover, they have already told all the other colleges to which they were accepted that they are going to UCSD and to allow another student to have their spot at college X, Y or Z. And most colleges in the midwest and east have star dates in AUgust and early September. So their enrollments by now are generally full. For many students there is no way to fix this in 24 hours anyway! UCSD deliberately made this tough because by their own admission in their own school paper, The Guardian, they stated that they were scrambling to figure out a way that they could accomodate all the students who accepted their preliminary offer of admission this year. Their Yield was simple too high and they were already planning on making double dorm rooms into triples. You are very misguided to say, just chill out and fix it...they made it difficult, and in some cases imposssible to just fix and I for one, think the vice chancellor should be fired for this action. My son's HS guidance counselor has already reported UCSD to their code of ethics governing board and told my son that over the many years she has headed his HS counseling program, never has such an offensive letter of admission withdrawal been sent from a quality college over one lousy piece of paper not having been received. The whole thing was disgraceful, plain and simple! If the people that had planned to go to UCSD were a bit less apathetic, this letter with this wording would never again go to another promising incoming freshman. But if the people going to UCSD are as apathetic about it as you are, the college will never handle themselves with proper ethics and you will get the same ol' thing happening year after year. How dare they withdraw admissions and make it so hard to rectify it in 24 hours! ALl students who received the letter should be outraged by this and filing complaints! I know the UCSD phone lines to the office of admissions were jammed for hours on Monday Morning 7/31 after the offesive letter went out of a Friday at 4:00, allowing potential students to fret over it all weekend....so at least that is a sign that many other people realize the injustice. I'm sorry you don't. If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem!</p>
<p>wow, does this happen a lot (admissions messed up)?</p>
<p>why isn't anybody blaming USPS or something? Mail DOESSSSSS GET LOST.</p>
