help! I think I might get rescinded...

<p>i did my application late so when I was entering grades and mistyped 2 of them and realized this later</p>

<p>it was only by 1 or 2 points, like an 89 to a 90, and an 87 to an 88 but still is my application completley jepordized?
I sent my fall transcript when I sent in my application so it's not like I'm trying to hide anything</p>

<p>it was an honest mistake, but will the admissions let it slide or will they cancel my application?
and if they do cancel my application when would I know by?</p>

<p>I suggest letting them know before they find out for themselves. Good luck!</p>

<p>(if I were the admissions, I’d probably let it slide since its only 1 or 2%, but that’s just me. ---- this is assuming you tell them before they see it on your transcript)</p>

<p>If it’s an obvious mistype, that’s one thing, but if you inflated an 89 to a 90, that’s not gonna slide.</p>

<p>Since the school doesn’t ask for or retain transcripts from applicants, instead only seeking them from those who SIR and are going to attend, they won’t know that you sent in a transcript unless you are very lucky and it somehow got notated in your application file. </p>

<p>I do agree with Excelblue, that the first case is explicable, the second case is more suspicious, particularly in the context that both errors inflated the grade instead of seeing one or both misstate it downward.</p>

<p>The key here is early proactive contact with admissions and a reasonable explanation. If, for example, there was a grade on the transcript or on a report card immediately before or after the most questionable, the 89 becoming a 90, that was itself a 90, then a reasonable person can see how someone might be off a line or two and type in the wrong value. If there is nothing like this, you would need to convince someone that an 89 could be entered as a 90 by some plausible process or train of thought, given its potential to change a B to an A in the UC GPA calculations. </p>

<p>if there is a reasonable explanation, and if you were one of the applicants in the borderline pile where even a 1% difference might have tipped the scales, then likely they will excuse the discrepancy and you can head to Cal without worry.</p>

<p>If not, it will depend upon the impression that the admissions group receives when they look at the entire file, but you may indeed have the offer rescinded. </p>

<p>Whatever else you do, do not think of ignoring this. People have been removed from the dorms and classes even weeks into their first semester, when they had already spent time and money, as well as walked away from alternative admissions offers at other schools.</p>
