So, I submitted my application saying I got a B in a college course when I actually got an A. I called the UC application center to get that updated, and they did not help me at all whatsoever. I sent UCLA a request to get that changed, and they changed it, or so I think as they sent me an email saying that they would fix it and to inform my other campuses, and I sent UCR an email and have yet to hear back. I also sent Berkeley something, but is it not allowed to be changed at Berkeley or UCR?
@annahebert: I would allow some time to hear back from admissions.
From UCB website: Q: Can I make changes (grades, courses, activities, personal insight questions, etc.) to my application after I submitted it?
A: Out of fairness to all applicants, only changes in critical information may be made to UC application data. This includes personal information, release authorizations, and some exam updates. To make changes to critical information, please log into My UC Application or contact the UC Application Center. If you contact the UC Application Center, please make sure to include your name and your UC Application ID number. Making these critical changes to your application will update the information for all of the UC campuses you applied to.
Please note that changes to your courses, grades, exams, activities, awards, volunteer work, employment, or personal insight questions are not guaranteed to reach us before your application is reviewed. However, minor changes are unlikely to have an impact on your admission decision.
For UCR, this form is listed on their website: Academic Update Form

I think a lot of UCB applicants got the text from a UCB student to join ZeeMee.
From Reddit, seems like one of ZeeMeeās owners:
āExit76: Hi, this does not mean you are accepted. ZeeMee is an official partner with UC Berkeley. One of their current students who works with the admissions team invited you to join the general chat for students who have applied. Itās a great way to connect with other applicants and get all your questions answered from the admission team and the current student ambassadors! If you do get accepted, Berkeley will give you access to join their private chat channels for accepted students on ZeeMee.
Also a cool fun fact, ZeeMeeās CEO and Head of Product are both Cal grads!ā

What I am surprised by is that the admissions office will give phone numbers to another platform without applicantās consent.
Oh ya, I didnāt think about that.
Lots of schools do it. I get texts all the time from schools telling me to join their applicant group chats too.

Got email back from Berkeley Re Subject Test scores (yes it took them a month)
āYes. We have access to viewing your SAT subject tests, and therefore you should submit the official scores if you are offered admission. We donāt to have the official scores now, but we will need to have the official scores to finalize your admission.ā

how did you receive the invite? Text or email?
I didnāt think that any of the California schools were considering or accepting SAT/ACT scores for admission purposes?
@jaycbee: This is the UCās stance on SAT subject tests.
Recommendations for fall 2021 applicants SAT subject tests:
Remember, these are recommendations, not mandates. You will not be penalized for failing to take the SAT Subject Tests. On the other hand, submission of these test scores (just like submission of AP and/or IB scores) may add positively to the review of your application.
The regular SAT/ACT test scores will not be considered for admission purposes.
exactly what I thoughtā¦ SAT and ACT test scores are not being considered for admission purposes. So no need to include it in your Bio here, b/c they arenāt being considered right?
SAT/ACT tests scores are not being considered for admission purposes but they may be used to determine your eligibility for the California statewide admissions guarantee (ELC), as an alternative method of fulfilling minimum requirements for eligibility or for course placement after you enroll.
