UC App - Made a mistake

Applying to College
1

<p>I made a mistake on my UC app, I just caught it this weekend when I was just looking over it out of boredom.</p>

<p>I had work experience from April 2009 - October 2009, until I quit. This was in my sophomore and junior year. </p>

<p>However, for my app, I accidentally wrote that I worked from April 2010 - October 2010, but I still had the checkmarks for my sophomore and junior year.</p>

<p>I know I should call up the UCs and tell them about it, but will talking to them make the chances of them asking me to submit proof of my other activities go up? (the 10% check thing) I didn't lie on any part of my app, the most I did was raise my hours for a few activities a little bit, but I'd rather not go through the trouble of finding all the documents that proved I actually did what I wrote on my application. Yes, I am lazy >< </p>

<p>If I don't call them up and explain this to them and I do get checked for the 10% thingy, will they just pass it off as a minor mistake (after they see the documents proving the actual date was in 2009), and nothing happens?</p>

<p>Just send an email identifying what is, in fact, a typo. It’s not a big deal and I doubt it will trigger a full audit. Frankly, they are so inundated with applications and related documentation right now that they probably won’t get to your email for quite some time and probably won’t care unless this work experience is the centerpiece of your application. The real reason to send it is that if anyone brings it up at any point, you have documentation that you notified them in a timely manner of the mistake when you found it.</p>

<p>Would you advise me call them or email?
Do you have the email to use? I know I can find it, but if you have the one that is “better” yeah. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You could try e-mailing an admissions counselor to your schools directly, or calling UC. I know it can feel like you are a bother by calling but they are all actually very helpful!</p>
