<p>Hi guys</p>
<p>I was wondering, are there any incidents where people at UCB get kicked out because they didnt disclose full information on their apps about their previous schools, especially transfer students. </p>
<p>If so, in what situations would they check the students background after they get accepted? </p>
<p>Interesting topic, very curious.</p>
<p>i doubt it, everyone lies or exaggerates on their application.</p>
<p>nooo bad idea. if you are caught, you will most certainly be expelled. better to have messed up, matured, and be honest about it. it shows character.</p>
<p>if it is something that would be considered 'against' admitting you, it could be a problem and there could certainly be expulsion. If it is something like your address, or you reported a grade lower than it actually was, then it probably wouldn't be a big deal at all, but you might want to contact them and make sure.</p>
<p>My friend transferred to Cal last year, she had a couple classes at another community college 4 or 5 years ago and didn't bother to report them on her application first because it was only two classes, secondly she couldn't remember what grade she got in one of the classes and didn't want to go through the trouble to go back there to find out. I could tell she wasn't intentionally trying to conceal the information, she simply didn't care about those records. She's doing fine now as far as I can tell.</p>
<p>It's your own call, if you have 30 units of Fs at some other college, then it's a gamble and if UC finds out then you will be screwed and probably won't be able to ever get back into higher education. If you have only a few classes with okay grades, then again it's your call, except that I believe you'd have an easier time claiming negligence if UC does indeed find out.</p>
<p>In the end, it's a risk to take to not report any kind of information. The decision is up to you.</p>
<p>P.S. You should know that some of the most successful people in the world have taken serious risks, but the only reason we know about them is because they succeeded in taking those risks. Those that didn't succeed are simply gone. Weigh your options.</p>
<p>be honest. someone on my floor got kicked out for not meeting the minimum grade senior year.</p>
<p>They audit 10% of the applications, don't they?</p>
<p>Bessie, where did you get that information?</p>
<p>I don't remember where I heard that. I either read it here or on the UC site somewhere. I'll try to track it down and post if I can figure it out. It seems like I remember it from when my son was applying to UC a couple of years ago.</p>
<p>It's best to be honest about these things, because it might come back and haunt you later otherwise. It's not at all worth it to lie on college applications.</p>
<p>The 10% thing is true for UCSD. Don't know if this applies to Cal though.</p>
