<p>I've heard (not sure if it's true, it was merely in passing) that someone got rejected from a school because he didn't have a college account set up with that school after he applied to it.</p>
<p>So I just wanted to check on the UCs, is it only UC Berkeley and UCLA that don't have accounts you register after sending in the application?</p>
<p>Do not know what you are referring to. Once you are accepted, you get a student number and you will automatically have a university account for registering for classes, for billing to you and paying tuition, fees, and room and board and other charges, and for any other university services you can hook-up to on-line. You will simply need to set up passwords to get into the various portions of the account. You don’t get a choice as to whether you want the account, you just get it. Moreover you cannot be rejected for not not having one because you don’t even get any such admitted student account until after you are accepted. </p>
<p>If what you are saying is that a student made a paper application (colleges prefer on-line applications) and never set up an application file on-line with a college, that would be acting like you are on the dark ages but would not be considered as a basis for rejecting you.</p>
<p>I think you can check your application status online except UCLA
usually after you file your application, they send you an email telling you how to set up your account …</p>
