HELP! How will this affect my admission??

Applying to College
1

<p>I got an email from UCIrvine two weeks ago (Jan. 05) saying that they received my application and that I can check my status at their website. I didn't really bother checking it until today --busy with schools and esp. with finals etc (BIG MISTAKE! :( ), and I found that the admission counselor has written me a msg asking about a particular class that I took (I listed under Educational Preparation Programs). I'm really worried right now because the message is dated 12/19/06, which is almost a month ago! How will the admission counselor take into consideration of my extremely late reply? :(And, should I reply with something along the lines of "I'm so sorry for the late reply"? </p>

<p>thank you so much for your help</p>

<p>You should go ahead and contact them apologizing and whatnot. You should also explain why it was so late (telling them that school was your priority = good). It shouldn't hurt your chances...</p>

<p>wouldn't that sound like a reallly pathetic excuse, though? "I'm sorry for the late reply -- I was busy with schoolwork."</p>

<p>thank you!</p>

<p>^^ that doesnt sound lame at all.</p>

5

<p>it should be okay, remember a good chunk of that time was vacation etc...just send in the response ASAP....</p>

<p>I don't think you need to state a reason WHY your were late (cause that just sounds lame). Just apologize for being late - end of story.</p>

<p>Alright, thanks everyone. I sent in my reply already :)</p>

<p>oneday, i have a question...</p>

<p>i applied to 3 UC schools, but I only received a confirmation email from one the UC's..is that possible?? because the application is sent to the UC Application System for ALL UC's</p>

<p>so, do you think i should contact the 2 other UC's that i have not received an email from yet??</p>

<p>yes it's possible. I only received four confirmation out of the six that I applied. If you go to the UC general thread, there's a topic about confirmation letters, and it seems no one has received everything yet. Don't worry :)</p>
