<p>I made the regrettable mistake of putting off entering my grades on my UC application until the last minute, and consequently I made quite a few serious mistakes. I realized these mistakes and sent an email to the UC application center immediately. They told me to write a letter explaining my mistakes and the corrections to be made and send it to a PO box in Bakersfield, which I did - I sent it via certified mail, so I'd have proof it got there (which I do), and also called to confirm it had been received (which it had), and that it had been attached my application. </p>
<p>Fast forward five months: I've been accepted and SIR'd to UCSC. I was looking over my transcripts before sending them today and realized that I made ANOTHER error that I didn't catch before. This one was really minor (forgot to include a class that I got a good grade in) and when I called the admissions office and told them about it, the counselor I spoke to basically told me I didn't need to worry. </p>
<p>When I hung up, I was relieved... but he said something that, while I didn't think anything of it at the time, I've started to worry might mean that they didn't get the correction I sent, and that they accepted me based only on the grades on my transcript rather than my corrected grades (many of which were lower), and that I'm going to get my admission cancelled. </p>
<p>So my question is: Is it possible that the admissions department there didn't notice the attachment to my application, or that the Bakersfield office failed to attach it? If either of these things happened, assuming that I can prove the letter was received and that either UC or UCSC made an error, where would that leave me in terms of my admission? </p>
<p>Has anyone experienced a similar situation before? </p>
<p>@lindyk8 - he read through a list of the transcripts I would need to send, and he didn’t list one school - which wasn’t on my application but was in the update. I’m hoping that my update was just not on the main screen he was looking at…</p>
<p>At what point during the application process did you send this update? Several people, including myself, updated the application before the TAU deadline on the actual website and did not have those changes reflected when admissions came out. I’m not sure what happened, but the schools may have not received your update either. </p>
<p>Also, after a certain point each school requires you to mail them directly with errors or updates. Like UCLA and UCI has their form while UCB requires a mailed or faxed letter.</p>
<p>Definitely call back and provide the proof that you mailed the update. I wouldn’t be overly worried unless the grades are very low or failing grades.</p>
<p>@credulitykills - I sent the update in late December, well before the TAU deadline. The adviser I spoke with in Bakersfield told me they’d be forwarded to everywhere I applied, so I didn’t worry about it until now. What happened when your admission decisions came out? How did you know your corrections weren’t reflected, and what did you have to do to resolve the situation? Was your acceptance upheld? </p>
<p>Well, I really have no idea as this is all pretty vague, but you have the certified letter receipt, etc, verifying they got it. If the transcript has bad grades but they are from a while back, it’ll probably be OK. But again, it’s all kind of vague. What I would do is just not do anything as final transcripts are due now. You have the receipt, so in theory, from your POV all is as it should be. The ball is in their court, you did everything right, so it’s kind of on them. </p>
<p>BTW, the odds of them not getting it when it was sent certified in Dec is next to nil. It’s a well-oiled machine over there.</p>
<p>@dm4488 I noticed in my admissions contract for the schools I applied to listed courses and one school that I had removed from my application in the update because I never got off the waitlist. All the schools I notified (some I could do via an online form and others I had to email my admissions adviser) just changed the courses to reflect ones I actually took. I could also prove that I updated before the deadline and that I faxed letters and sent emails to each school individually so I was prepared to show those just in case. I would just call your adviser directly and speak to them.</p>
<p>@lindyk8 @credulitykills - Just talked to admissions again and I’m fine My acceptance page is back and everything! Thanks for helping me get a little more sleep than I otherwise would have!</p>
