UC Application Mistake

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - GENERAL

Hello,
I have gotten really nervous recently after finding out that I have made two unintentional mistakes on the UC application after I have been admitted to UC Davis. I am a transfer applicant. The first one is in my High School transcript. I found myself to put an A for the fist semester of English in 9th grade where it supposed to be an Incomplete. Second semester is an A which is accurate. (I have completed 1 year of english composition at my CC, so the Eng. requirement for my degree is done). The second mistake is when it asked me if I ever had been on Academic Probation and I checked No. my first semester of CC back in 2014, i was placed on stage 1 probation (which sort of a low gpa warning, nothing severe) After that semester My academic standing remained all Good standing. All grades failed/passed were accurately reported. So I misunderstood the question and thought they were asking if I was currently (while applying) on probation. How to avoid having my admission at risk of being cancelled? Are these considered major or minor mistakes? I already sent out my Official transcripts, but they did not recieve them yet. Should I call and correct those mistakes now before they find out themselves? Or leave the situation alone?

P.s. I already SiR,d and prepeared myself to go there. Really hope they are not big deal. Thanks.

Call the UC you SIRed and ask them. Be honest and ask them what to do… the answer differs for everyone.

@NCalRent I did call admissions and the phone person told me not to worry about it as long as I am in good academic standing currently (which i am), of course after telling me how I should of put yes, and better than them finding out, etc… But I don’t know if that should comfort me. And Btw, If the status of my transcript on myadmission indicated “Recieved” does that mean everything is verified and nothing is incossistent with what I self-reported?

Glad to hear it.

Received indicates they have them - that’s it. From here. they may notice another discrepancy, contact you with questions or request more info.

If you made the phone call, a note has already been placed in your file about the discrepancy. If you were told not to worry, don’t. It’s taken care of. You did the right thing.

@ProfessorD thanks! Yeah, I mean they contact you right away right?, if there is something they found that needs explanation. Status of my transcript been recieved since jun 2. And I heard that they contact you and question you instead of right away cancelling your admission. But well, I explained to them Its an honest mistake.
