Cancellation Review for UCI???

<p>god im losing sleep over this now...checking my email every day. this is so goddamn ridiculous</p>

<p>Oh my gosh...this just happened to my daughter...the identical thing! Her acceptance letter from UCI came March 1st, and July 29 this Cancellation Review email shows up....!! Help!!</p>

<p>Do the same as the OP of course!</p>

<p>what is wrong with UCI this year?</p>

<p>You have a right to demand to know what is wrong with your app. The fact that, even though things worked out well, they never told you what was wrong really bothers me. If your hs counselor messed something up, then you should tell the school so this doesnt happen to others, etc. you have a right to know!</p>

<p>I personally sent the transcripts and all paperwork and it shows up on the UCI applkication website, where all my records show up. Everything is in place and nothing is outstanding. That, plus the 3.8 cumulative grade point and the 3.5 gradepoint for senior year makes me wonder what the heck is up. It feels pretty sadistic to do this to a freshman. I don't know what the high school would have had to send that they didn't?????</p>

<p>I agree with MissSuperFantastic. As long as you were offered admission and you met the Conditions for admission:</p>

<p>1.
Complete all senior-year courses as listed on your admission application. Maintain eligibility for admission to UC.</p>

<p>2.
Notify UC Undergraduate Admissions immediately if you change any course that you reported on your application, or if you earn a "D" or "F" grade in any senior year course by email to <a href="mailto:admproblems@ucdavis.edu">admproblems@ucdavis.edu</a>. Even one "D" or "F" grade may cause you to be ineligible for admission to the University of California.</p>

<p>3.
Submit an official high school transcript showing date of graduation by July 15th to: Undergraduate Admissions, University of California</p>

<p>4.
Submit official test scores by July 15, if you have not already done so, for the ACT Assessment plus Writing or the SAT Reasoning Test, and the two required SAT Subject Tests. The Subject Tests must be taken in two different subject areas, chosen from the following: history, literature, mathematics (level 2 only), science or language other than English. Contact the Educational Testing Service (ETS) at (609) 771-7600 to request that scores be sent to UC Davis. Our ETS code is 004834.</p>

<p>5.
Submit an official report of all of your Advanced Placement (AP) examination scores and/or International Baccalaureate (IB) Higher/Standard level examination results by July 15. Call the Educational Testing Service at (609) 771-7300 or (888) 225-5427 to have AP scores sent to us; use the Davis ETS code 004834. You can contact the International Baccalaureate Office at (212) 696-4464.</p>

<p>6.
Submit official college transcripts, if any, by July 15. </p>

<p>The requirements above are form my school, UCD, I take the above to be a contract of admission and as long as you meet the above, and you didn't lie on your application, then they must grant you admission, iregardless of whether the UC went over its admissions quota. </p>

<p>If you have an EAOP or college adviser at your school, you should contact them first, thats what I would do.</p>

<p>Much Luck,</p>

<p>There were no D's or F's in Senior year and everything requested was promptly submitted to them. I am banking on your assessment and it certainly helps make things feel better. I can't imagine revoking an offer when everything done was correct and everything reported was accurate and backed up by documentation. This whole thing feels like a horrible nightmere and I want to wake up and find out it was nothing but a terribly bad dream. How can they be so cold after an offer is made? To send a notice like this via email on July 29, so close to signing up for classes (Aug 16) and then to tell the incoming freshman they aren't allowed to call and find out why is just the ultimate in cruelty. Espeically when they must know that a freshman has most likely already turned down other offers (from State institutions) after they accepted the admission offer way back in March!!</p>

<p>UC schools are very formula driven and bueraucratic; if you got the letter they thought something is wrong with the app. But as the earlier poster showed, sometimes they are mistaken or just lost/mis-filed something. Even if they took too many people by mistake, they won't turn people away now. nillo_joe is right, they offered you a contract of admission and if you meet all its terms you will be an Anteater.</p>

<p>But don't sit around and wait; get on the phone 1st thing tomorrow morning and start calling until you can find someone who can give you an answer as to what's up. If your HS is back in session you could also call your GC and see if they can help.</p>

<p>This is most likely a hoax.</p>

<p>okay so i found out from thE UCI counselors that the reason they're doing this is because too many people said yes to UCI and now they have no space in dorms or classrooms & so they're basically reviewing everyone's application and trying to cut anyone who may not be "UCI material"
so ****ed up since it's their fault for accepting too many people in the first place~</p>

<p>That's the most rediculous thing I've ever heard. The school is WAY overstepping their boundaries.</p>

<p>wow.</p>

<p>at least they aren't lying about it apparently?</p>

<p>If they accepted people in the first place, it had to be because they qualified. They can't take it back!! If the applicant didn't meet the requirments of the contract (sending in forms on time or lying) then it seems that's different. But I did everything requested, and have grades that qualify above and beyond what they want. So to do this to someone like me, is really horrible of them!!
I'm glad I found someone on this discussion board who has contacts with the counselors there. It helps to know the background on this.
I'm still in disbelief at how crass this all is and downright dumb.I exptected so much more of my future college.</p>

<p>Isn't there someone we can report this whole fiasco to? Someone is responsible for this mess happening and I think that person should be taken to task for it. It seems I'm not the only one who has been emotionally tormented by them and I'd hate to think the same mistake would happen next time to other innocent and hardworking freshmen.</p>

<p>I called first thing this morning and Dr. Hammarth, who's name is on the acceptance letter is 'not in the office". I called the Office of Admissions and they say I have to talk directly to her and they can't tell us anything. I wondering what happens if she gets in a car wreck...does that mean my application will be in limbo for the rest of my LIFE or at least until she gets out of the hospital, save she doesn't expire or become brain dead?<br>
Anybody out there have another idea on who to call at UCI????</p>

<p>HELP!!!</p>

<p>After the Medical School fiasco, they can't afford another screw-up.</p>

<p>Hang in there.</p>

<p>Dr. Hammarth called us back and said that she is indeed accepted for admisssion to UCI. She said that it had cleared on August 4. When I told her that we had not been informed, she said she would send the clearance
message to her student website ASAP and in 20 minutes the notice appeared dated Aug. 14. Apparently, the explanation was the one of her grades that she reported did not match the transcript....and we're going to go back to see if this is really true. Even if it were true...I don't think there's any excuse for the way they went about the review process and the message they sent on July 29. Dr. Hammarth said "Well, some students get a little upset when they get the notice". That might be one of the premiere understatements of the year, perhaps?????</p>

<p>This is absolutely RIDICULOUS. I guess I understand the UCs' need to do this because of having more people enroll than expected. But why are they telling students in JULY? Why not way back in April, when SIRs were being sent out.</p>

<p>Good luck to you all</p>

<p>My college (St. John's College) uses an ingenious system to counter problems like these. It's called first come, first serve. You get your acceptance and if you don't put your deposit down early enough to secure a spot then you get on to a waiting list. Why other colleges don't do this I dont know. It saves so much trouble especially with all the stories of overcrowded classes.</p>
