I have recently been admitted into UC Berkeley as a transfer student for the fall semester. Cal was my top choice, so I’ve been absolutely elated about this news.
So I sent in my SIR, and in the process of looking through the required transcripts that I need to send in, I noticed something strange: the date listed for my high school transcript was “2009-2012.” I thought, “How bizarre, I started high school in '08, and though I consider myself decently capable, I certainly did not finish high school in 3 years.” So I looked around, checked my application for admission, and realized that I had very carelessly entered that I started high school in '09, when I had actually started in '08.
It seemed like an insignificant mistake at first, but I the more I thought about it, the more worried I’ve become about this error. The conditions for admission do state that all reported information must align with official documentation. I’ve sent my admissions officer a letter about this, but it will be a few days before she gets back to me. I’m worried that in making this mistake I’ve come across as misleading, and though high school is not a big factor in admitting transfer students, I’m still very concerned that this is grounds for revoking my admission.
The anxiety intensifies.
SO, CC… What do you think? Will this bae be moving to the bay come fall? Or have I carelessly sabotaged my hopes and dreams with this typo?
Enjoy the bay bae, I don’t think its a big deal.
What luckie said. Youll be enjoying the bay most likely :). Your mistake isn’t bad enough for them to flat out rescind you. However you may have to come to an agreement with your admissions officer.
^^^^^ agree!
Not a chance will they rescind you for that. That would be absurd.
Phew~
The consensus seems to be that there will be little if any repercussions for my silly typo. You are all wonderful people who have given me peace of mind as I await a response from my admissions officer.
Thank you 
^ What was the response after all ?
