Cancellation Review for UCI???

<p>ROFL.. I can see a lawsuit coming, and in America, emotional torment qualifies I think. I think what has happened, and most likeley someone has addressed this already, is that more people thab expected want to go to UCI, so they're doing another check (telling people to send transcripts) and obviously, those that don't do this simple task will have theirs terminated. It seems really cheap, but could work out for them.</p>

<p>what i don't get is, you're supposed to send in your transcript during the admission process; how is it they didn't get it the first time?</p>

<p>So I was right.</p>

<p>Thank you, thank you very much.</p>

<p>wow, my school had an over attendance rate too, but they just made it work...</p>

<p>The Brian, read what I said.</p>

<p>you know what's funny?
they told my friend that the reason she got the letter was because the grade she reported didn't match w/ her transcript~
guess what she reported she had in a class? a C~ and guess what her transcript was.. an A
so it's not like she lied saying she did better.. haha they accepted her w/ her C.. no reason why they wouldn't accept her for an A
it's soo ridiculous!</p>

<p>^how do you make a mistake like that is all i'm wondering.</p>

<p>This is just the first few paragraphs of the article in San Francisco Chronicle about the UC overbooking freshmen...but it explains why they're double scrutinizing the freshmen who they already admitted. The article says that UCI overbooked 400 students.</p>

<p>State campuses struggle with enrollment surge

<p>UC Davis and some other California universities have admitted more freshmen than they have room for and now are scrambling to find extra bed space, hire more instructors, and expand student academic and health services. </p>

<p>In some cases, for example, it will mean shoehorning a third student into a dorm room meant for two. </p>

<p>The minicrisis, from Davis to San Diego, stems from a surge in the number of students who accepted offers of admission, in some cases wildly exceeding the universities' predictions. UC Davis overshot its target by 745 students in a class of 5,838 students.</p>

<p>Bad news for current seniors looking to apply to some of these UC's..</p>

<p>Bad for seniors wanting to apply to UC's. I like the idea of first come, first serve to solve this problem, as suggested above. I don't think you need to be an Einstein to figure out how to be diplomatic or how to deal with the administrative aspects of this overbooking issue.
I hope that the admininstrators at UC read these posts. Maybe we can help them out. After all...many of them only make $300K a year, as reported by recent articles in newspapers. Poor guys.</p>

<p>The only solution for the UC campus overloads is to construct more outside residence housing. Davis has none and nowhere to go, UCLA and UCI are always expanding, and Berkeley has tons of outside housing.</p>
