<p>Okay so before you guys give me crap blah blah blah hear me out. I took a Calculus class at my HIGH SCHOOL last year. Let me repeat it was at my HIGH SCHOOL and it was taught by a HIGH SCHOOL teacher. For some reason it was through cal state Fullerton. I received a B and a C. (2.50 GPA) Not good. Anyways I was never enrolled at Cal State Fullerton or a student of the school and I NEVER put my ssn anywhere. I recently applied to USC and the UC system and I didn't put my grades or the class at all on my application. I paid 2.50 around 3 times within the National Clearinghouse to verify if these schools could find me within the system enrolled at cal state Fullerton. The system couldn't find me at all. Yet it could find my enrollment at the various CCs I attend now. I am a 1 year CC-UC transfer. I took 27 units last semester and got a 3.9 in difficult courses (calculus, biology, chem, econ, physics etc ALL IN ONE SEMESTER).</p>
<p>So here's what happened to me today. The UC system emails me and tells me that I put a Cal State Fullerton course on my last year's application (I applied to the UC schools as a senior) and that I should respond with my grades and the classes I took or else I would be not be accepted to any UC school. For my moral and ethical well-being I told the whole truth. It will ruin my GPA and destroy my hopes and dreams of going to Berkeley. Now since I know that admissions officers cannot find my enrollment through the National Clearinghouse should I withhold this information from my USC application?</p>
<p>If you're gonna give me crap for this just GTFO. I worked my ass off last semester just to get effed over in a class which I wasn't even aware was a college class. I am an honest individual but I'm not gonna let something so trivial ruin me.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t be so sure that it’d ruin your chances. If you applied to UCLA, you have a good chance getting in there, and even at Cal, I’d say you’re still a likely candidate for admittance. (I’m a Phil. major, too.)</p>
<p>I’m wondering why you took all those math and science classes as a Philosophy major.</p>
<p>Premed ^
Although I’m considering Pre-law, hence the Philosophy major. Thanks for looking at the glass half full guys but I know that you guys know a 3.5 is thin ice compared to a 3.9 which is the GPA I feel like I earned.</p>
<p>It is not unusual for high school students to go to a community college and take courses there for CC credit. In a case where the course is physically taken at the high school and taught by a high school teacher it may be possible that you might not have qualified for credits at CSUF, probably in Math 150A and Math 150B, without meeting some other requirements such as passing some type of AP test. </p>
<p>Also, it seems unlikely that you would be granted college credit for a class taken at a high school without signing some type of application form to be awarded university credit it you completed the courses with passing grades. If you were never offered such an option and agreed to it in writing you may have a case they were high school classes. Before challenging on these grounds, be absolutely certain you did not take any kind of exam needed for college credit or signed anything requesting college credit for the classes since it could only take a phone call from UCB to CSUF and a fax from CSUF back to UCB to put you in an even worse situation.</p>
<p>If only people would listen to directions. The UC said in BIG BOLD LETTERS to report ALL (I think this word was underlined like 2 twice) grades. If you know you got a grade and it was recorded in “any” type of transcript which was/is in your name; your best bet would be to report it. Why hide something, and then have your euphoria of getting accepted to lets say CAL or UCLA be crushed because of something you hid. Hey, if the IRS can catch people who didn’t pay their tax, you best bet the UC system will eventually catch you. Integrity is not only important in academic endeavors, but also LIFE. Just my two cents.</p>
<p>I don’t understand why you’d hide a Calc grade if you’re applying to Phil. I failed intermediate algebra while enrolled in CC and had to retake. I also had a W for College Algebra and had to retake. I got into Berkeley with a 3.3, so I don’t see how ‘a 3.5 is going to kill (your) chances at Berkeley.’ I also had a C- in Bio, History, and some other class I forget. Tell the truth about your situation and let the admissions office decide if your ‘C’ is trivial or not. Hiding it is ****ing stupid.</p>
<p>Calm the eff down guys I told them immediately I’m not hiding anything. I just hope that they give me a “holistic” evaluation as they say they do because I feel like I’m qualified. I understand I signed something without reading the fine print and it’s come to bite me in the butt. Now leave me alone in my sorrow.</p>
<p>So i called UCB and they told me that they don’t even average the grades I got in Calculus, so the 2nd time I took it was just a waste of my time and means my GPA is actually a 3.45…Beautiful.</p>
<p>I know this is an old thread but USC said they wouldn’t need this information because it was taught on a high school campus. Apparently they’re aware of this CSUF high school program and completely abhor it. I sent my info to all of the UCs but apparently all of them arent looking at it because it’s not part of my original application other than UCI (the only school that originally requested them -_- ). Anyways is there any way i could get ****ed over for this? I was honest with the UC counselors I spoke too and I have receipts of sending my CSUF transcript to every school other than USC.</p>
<p>you’re, like, extremely belligerent, bearterritory3. anyway, my advice may be overly simple, but I would a) provide all information that is requested, i.e. if a school requests the information for that high school course, provide it, but b) not provide anything that is unrequested or unnecessary. you took the course in high school as a high school student; if they did not tell you during that class that it would be considered a university course come application time, then you should not need to report it (at least not willingly).</p>
<p>To be safe you should probably contact each UC you applied to and update/amend your application. At this point when they received the transcript from CSUF they probably just stuck it in your folder. When you actually indicate that you plan to attend a particular school they will then carefully match your transcripts with what you reported in your original application and any updates with the transcripts they have received. If there is a grade reported on a transcript that you did not also report in your application or at some later time as an update, you could have a problem.</p>
