<p>@MakeBank: Her post above yours said that she <em>tried to change her grade within the school records</em>.</p>
<p>Honestly, karens, it sounds like nobody here has concrete experience with getting black listed. It sounds like you are black listed, but my experience with the government is that everything has a process for review. You’ll probably have to go high, though. Start off by talking to an admissions officer.</p>
<p>The thing is… you havent changed. Lemme give you a good lesson in life. Try your SINCERE hardest and be HONEST. If you get in hen great. if you dont, then understand that your mistakes in your past put you were you are and move on knowing that you have grown out of your former self. You are going nowhere fast right now. All that is stuck in your brain is “oh *****, i cant get into a UC, must get into a UC num num num, must be UC, num num num” rather than saying, I screwed up, this is what happened, I was stupid this is how I have changed and these are my grades since then.</p>
<p>Why on earth would there be a way off the blacklist? It defeats the purpose of a blacklist. </p>
<p>You’re done at UC. Move on with your life.</p>
<p>Of course there is a way of the black list, there is a way off the terrorist no fly list. Something is seriously up with your story, though. If all you did was report one grade wrong, that would be a typo. You wouldn’t have to say “I’m a new person now” or whatever, you just hit the wrong key. So there is clearly something else going on.</p>
<p>lockn read the part where the OP said : “People, the full story is that I had one (1) 10-11 year grade reported as an A. In reality, it was a B. i tried changing it at the school but it didnt work, so the school told them and they got rightfully upset at me.”</p>
<p>lockn</p>
<p>yes sometihng is going on.</p>
<p>the grades dont match up. i gave the UC a bad grade and the school record didnt match it cause i was not able to chance it in the system and they saw me trying to so they told the UC.</p>
<p>But that doesn’t jive with “Can I write them a letter and explain how I have changed?”.</p>
<p>If he really just made a typo and tried to correct it, this wouldn’t be necessary, it wouldn’t mean you were a deplorable person. If the cheating thing was really about you, on the other hand…</p>
<p>OP, are you saying you tried to get into the grading system at school to change your transcript grade? That’s a whole different story than mis-reporting an A vs. B on a self-report section of the college app, and I can see the UCs blacklisting a candidate for that kind of fraud.</p>
<p>That’s exactly what she’s saying^</p>
<p>Can’t believe it’s taking so many of you this long to understand what this person did.</p>
<p>karens,
You have not changed. Punishment changes people, not contemplation of punishment with the hope that you will be told that everything will be OK. You messed up – take your punishment. Embrace it because it will change you for the better.</p>
<p>p.s. for those of you advising this person to look into privates, s/he was also rescinded at USC. This person tried to lie at the USC forum aswell.</p>
<p>lol karens. You got screwed from both the UC’s and USC. There is no way off the blacklist, what’s done is done. If you were to apply for both undergraduate and graduate you would be automatically denied.</p>
<p>I’ve known some individuals from the forums and even in person that have gotten away with not reporting past schools with rather crooked tactics of covering their footsteps. But what you’ve done is crossing the border I think, nobody should be manipulate their transcript just for a B to an A. I’m guessing the high school you attended assisted in your blacklisting by notifying all the colleges you applied to black list you.</p>
<p>So if this girl is blacklisted from all UC’s and privates, where else can she apply? </p>
<p>Don’t privates also have a blacklist among private schools? </p>
<p>Out of state public then? International?</p>
<p>Korea’s top universities will accept anyone from America. Look in that direction.</p>
<p>I’m sure the right small private will take this student if the family will pay full freight.</p>
<p>seriously your story does sound weird. when i applied for UC the first time, I got confused and didn’t know you could enter number grades, so I was guestimating my gpas like 3.2 I put B… 3.5 I didnt know if it was a B+ or A- so I put A- lol… and they didnt blacklist me… so just because you made one mistake doesnt mean that they would blacklist u… </p>
<p>just go to a state school and be happy that they didn’t take bigger actions towards u.</p>
<p>The only places this person can even apply to are out of states, privates that are not USC, and international universities. But given that the high school was the one that gave the information/transcript out to the schools she applied to, that she tried manipulating the transcript. Then most likely she can’t go anywhere because some of them require high school transcripts for transfer.</p>
<p>Basically screwed all over the place.</p>
<p>^^ not if she goes to community college for 2 years</p>
<p>But they’ll have his/her SSN.</p>
<p>Look… giving a wrong grade is one thing, but the OP showed herself to be of dubious moral character by lying on her application and then attempting to illegally change her HS grades - for which she was caught by her HS and reported to the UC system. If this is the true story and she’s not just a ■■■■■, she has definitely been blacklisted. There is no letter on Earth that would show any believable change of character in such a short time. (As she would have been caught in the last few months).</p>
<p>karens> You need to get the proper information from an admissions officer from a UC school. They’ll let you know exactly what your status is and if it is permanent. You might have to look into transferring OOS, but… if your HS has you on a special list of their own – then, any school you apply to that requests HS transcripts will get a call or a letter from the HS explaining to them what you did, and you will be in the same situation you are in now. You should also contact your HS administration and see what your situation is on their end. If you DO have a status alert on your HS Transcript and you can’t get it cleared up… you are f*ed.</p>
<p>All that is really needed is karens SSN for the UC’s and USC to be automatically denied. When karens tries to apply to a universitiy that requires a high school transcript for validation of high school graduation or stats then karens will be automatically denied again.</p>
