Mistake in Application

<p>I have already been accepted to several schools, but have recently realized my GPA posted was not accurate (After Just calculating my GPA again)</p>

<p>The reason it was not accurate was because I went to a four year college my first semester of college and did not factor those grades in. I got all C's at that school, and it brought my GPA down to about a 2.7. I posted a 3.2 when I did my application. I did however post the grades for the classes, so if the UC's calculated my GPA themselves, they would have got the 2.7. Will this affect my admission decisions and is there any chances my admission could be withdrawn? </p>

<p>One other questions that I'm already fairly certain about from reading other places, but things I just wanted to verify.</p>

<p>I withdrew from a class I stated I would be taking. It was a make up class for a class I received a F in, but it was not part of my IGETC or towards my major, should I notify schools about this?</p>

<p>Thanks in advanced</p>

<p>u really should. not notifying them makes it worse.</p>

3

<p>i dont ever remember posting what my GPA was on the application. im sure they figure out your GPA themselves.</p>

4

<p>I cant remember ever putting in a manuel GPA on the UC Apps… I just remember putting in all my classes and it did it itself.</p>

5

<p>Yes notify them asap. If you notify them later it will exacerbate your situation. 2.7 is a big difference from 3.2.</p>

6

<p>I think the Cal update might have asked for it.</p>

7

<p>no cal and all the other schools calculate the GPA’s themselves from grades earned per unit (i called cal and la’s admissions to confirm if my GPA was correct in their database)</p>

<p>you need to report the mistake asap and call by phone, send an e-mail, and make damn sure that they know this was a negligent mistake, not some ploy to get a higher GPA and be accepted to the schools</p>

<p>you don’t want to end up getting your admission rescinded, BTW what is minimum eligibility to be accepted at the UC’s? or does it depend on the college you applied to?</p>

<p>It seems strange this would be an issue, seems how all my classes posted are accurate, it was just the manually inputted GPA that was not. </p>

<p>I guess I might as well as call admissions and make sure everything is on track though for the schools I’m interested in.</p>

9

<p>yeah…tell them about the W also so there are no surprises when you send your transcripts</p>

10

<p>So as long as I notify them would you assume things will be ok, or can it still result in my admission being taken away?</p>

11

<p>i dunno…talk to a counselor/ UC representative they could give you a real answer (but get more than 1 opinion from someone involved in the transfer process as counselors are occasionally found to be inaccurate)</p>

<p>If you think you can hide it from them completely, don’t report.
However, if you think they might find out, you must report.
What will happen if you didn’t report, and by any chance they find out, is considered “academic dishonesty,” and your admission is automatically rescinded.</p>
