Hello,
I just recently got accepted and admitted to UC Berkeley for the Spring 2017 semester. Of course I was beyond proud and overjoyed until I was going over information with a college counselor. I’ll cut to the chase, I’m a cultural anthro major at a community college and I made an error on my application and I don’t know how fatal it is. I listed myself as taking 5 classes this semester and during the Transfer Application Update (TAU) I listed them all as in progress on my application. I remained to have good grades in all of them except shortly after the deadline for the TAU I dropped my intro to speech class to focus on other classes and work, without a W none the less. Unfortunately, I did not realize this error until now so I contacted the Cal admissions via email telling them my story. I was just wondering if this is grounds for rescindment from the UC? This class is not required for the IGETC, nor is it required for my major. I was just wondering if the error of forgetting to change the in progress to dropped would be cause for rescindment of my application? Thank you all
EDIT 5/2/2016: So not that anyone cared to reply but I’ll update it for anyone in the future that may have this problem. UC Berkeley had a malfunction in their system where multiple students said they update their application but it didn’t update. So when I called a the admissions office told me of their error and also that it wasn’t a big deal that I dropped the course. They said it only causes problems if: it’s part of the IGETC, part of major requirements, or if it drops me below 60 transferable units. So no problem here thankfully
Lol you’re fine I told them that I would take an art class during the spring semester at a cc but ended up not taking it because I had a lot of aps and stuff. I told them through the update form and they told me that they strongly encourage it but I asked them then what would happen if I just refuse to take it and they emailed back telling me that it’s okay and I’ll just be admitted “with exception”
