<p>This is like my fourth? fifth? question. Ugh.
I realized that for one of my awards I wasn't really specific on where I got it. I wrote what the trophy said but I realized that it didn't sound very specific. Like should I have said where I got it (it was a speech tournament so I usually called the tournament by the host's school name but the trophy said like "west coast regional tournament")? Should I call the admission center about this? I don't want them to think I just randomly made it up.
[And just to triple, quadruple check, I can change ALL of my academic history during the update period, right? Not just the Fall but my Summer 2014 or Spring 2014???]</p>
<p>For your award, I honestly don’t think it will matter that much–they’ll take your word for it. Remember, admission officers approach all applications they read by giving the applicant the benefit of the doubt–(that’s why you checkmark that contract at the end that says “I verify that all information I am entering is truthful…”, something like that). It’s not like they’re gonna purposefully audit you for this one tiny thing, and also remember that ECs matter WAY less for transfers than they do for freshmen.</p>
<p>I’m not too sure about the academic update, but if I recall correctly, it’s only IP or PL stuff you can change–you update your grades for fall 2014 and update what courses you’re taking in the spring 2015. If you need to change your grade for previous semesters, you have to do the process of submitting application change/calling them up. You are supposed to have all of that accurate when you hit submit before December 1; after all, it’s meant to be directly copied from your transcript. It even matters if your grades have +/- or not because those affect the UC GPA too.</p>
<p>Again, like I said I’m not completely sure cause I’m new and applying for next term too–but here’s the academic update info from the UC website itself: <a href=“http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/after-you-apply/update-transfer-application/”>http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/after-you-apply/update-transfer-application/</a></p>
<p>Maybe an alumni/past transfer student can provide concrete info/experience?</p>
<p>-EDIT just came across this but look for @Cayton’s post here (#353): <a href=“2015 Application Questions, Comments, and Support - #346 by luckie1367 - UC Transfers - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/uc-transfers/1674508-2015-application-questions-comments-and-support-p24.html</a></p>
<p>That seems to verify that you can’t change grades for terms prior to fall 2014. If you need to do so, you should contact them.</p>
<p>Thanks for replying
Okay and do you know if the process to add the class is a difficult one? Like a lot of people to go through and stuff? Ugh I was too careless after all.
Edit: Does anyone know who I should contact for this kind of stuff? </p>
<p>I think we’re not allowed to link blogs so I’ll c/p from AskMsSun:</p>
<p>"December - Making Changes to Your Application (through application processing service)</p>
<p>You submitted your application right before the deadline and as you review your receipt, you realized there were some mistakes. Panic sets in and you are not sure what to do. Well, don’t freak out.</p>
<p>You may update your personal information, test scores, or apply to an additional UC campus by logging back into the online application.</p>
<p>There are a few things, such as family size/income or other background information, that you can change over the phone by calling the UC Application Center at (800) 207-1710 (toll free in the U.S.) or (661) 336-5723 (outside the U.S.).</p>
<p>For anything else, you must submit a correction by email to <a href="mailto:docs@applyucsupport.net">docs@applyucsupport.net</a>. Be sure to include your full name, date of birth, application ID, a full description of the mistakes, and your corrections. I recommend including the sections of the application that contain the mistakes and make your corrections on there for easy reference."</p>
