In late December, I noticed a grade error on my UC applications and quickly sent a letter to notify all the UC campuses I applied to. Just recently, I’ve been accepted to UC Irvine. Should I choose to enroll in any one of the UC campuses, should I send in the final transcript assuming that they’ve got a record of my letter on file so they can note the single disparity between my self-reported grades and transcript? When I sent those letters in, I did not realize that I should have paid for some certification that had proof I sent the letter in. I guess I’m most afraid that the UCs didn’t read my letter and made their decisions with the grade error.
<p>Did you report a higher grade than it actually was? If so, that might be a problem. If it you reported a lower grade, than don't worry about it. It shouldn't affect your admission.</p>
<p>It was a higher grade. I accidentally reported that I received a grade of an A for both semesters of Honors Pre-Calculus (HL) for my 11th grade coursework. I actually earned a grade of C for both semesters in Honors Pre-Calculus (HL), but received an A in the Pre-Calculus Mathematics course at Las Positas College the following summer. Though I had checked my application before I sent it, I was appalled to find this error. In retrospect, I accidentally reported my Las Positas College "A" grade onto the online slot for Honors Pre-Calculus, as they were listed right next to each other. </p>
<p>They should find that I had already recounted some of my experiences with both of these classes as a part of my Personal Statement in the application. </p>
<p>I had sent the letter in late December and notified my guidance counselor as well.</p>
<p>A "C" instead of an "A" is a pretty big discrepancy. I would definitely send another letter acknowledging the error with proof this time around. You must assume the worst- that they did not receive your first letter. If your acceptance was based on the assumption that you received an A, and you notify them in retrospect of their admission decision, they have the right to rescind your admission, so its better that you inform them ASAP of the error so that you can rest assure about your acceptances.</p>
<p>Thanks. I hope so too. Now that I think about it, I had saved an email I sent to my guidance counselor and her response to the situation. I told her what I did, and she told me that she was glad I had caught the error so early in the process and that I had followed all the instructions to managing this type of situation for the UCs. </p>
<p>I am pretty positive that they should have received the letter, considering it's been over two months that I had sent it in.</p>
<p>By doing that it definately shows a TON about your character... I would rather have someone with great character in my college with good grades than someone with little to no character with excellent grades</p>
<p>Sigh I emailed them about three days ago. According to the message center, they've checked it, but haven't replied yet. The anticipation and anxiety is exhausting.</p>
