<p>Out of curiosity, have any of you ever lied (or heard of someone lying) on their UC application (in regards to grades) and were NOT caught even after UC's received the official transcripts in June/July??</p>
<p>dont try it.</p>
<p>Seriously, don't lie on grades !!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Otherwise, You'll be screw!</p>
<p>i'm pretty sure a difference in reported and official grades would be noticed.</p>
<p>Grades nope. Because you are gonig to have to send your transcript at end of year anyways. I made a mistake on my community service(if you count that as lying). I joined a club in my senior year and when I did my apps I said I did 25 hours of community service for that club(since i thought I was going to do the hours but senoritis got me). Now I'm paranoid about them checking, trust me its not worth it never lie on apps.</p>
<p>They randomly select 10% to verify everything so it's not even worth freaking out and wondering if you'll be in that 10%, etc.</p>
<p>Is that true for all UCs?</p>
<p>They definitely do not check 10%.</p>
<p>That's 5500 people from UCLA.</p>
<p>they check 10% of the accepted so its a lot less. Im not really sure about UCLA though. UCSD has the 10% thing, anyone that UCLA also ahve the 10% checking?</p>

<p>No, they check 10% of the applicants.</p>

I soon learned that the University of California institutions do exactly that. According to Susan Wilbur, director of undergraduate admissions for the entire UC system, each year just under 10 percent of all UC applications are randomly selected for verification.

<p>Do</a> Colleges Verify Information in Applications? - Ask The Dean</p>
<p>If universities like Stanford can go through 25,000 applications and some 300,000 supporting documents, a university like UCLA can definitely go through 55,000 applicants and 60,500 supporting documents (55,000 SAT/ACT score reports + 5,500 random checks).</p>
<p>Of course, it does say 10% of all UC applications, so each campus would have varying %s checked, but you can see that it wouldn't terribly difficult for UCLA to process/check 5,500. (Then again, she may have meant that each UC does random checks of 10% of their applicants.)</p>
<p>So they do that before they send out the admission, that shouldn't be right. My friend was told to verify an award after he had been accepted(it was in an email after he accepted UC DAvis's offer). It wasn't like an hard verifications, my friend merely send a picture of his trophy.</p>
