<p>I just realized today (February 19th) that for my UC application, I entered wrong information.</p>
<p>What I did was, I entered my city of birth to be CITY IN CALIFORNIA (say Fullerton). Instead, I was born in Taipei, Taiwan.</p>
<p>What should I do now? Should I notify the UC Processing Center in writing? Or should I directly notify each individual UC that I applied to? Or should I just ignore it?</p>
<p>Thank you for any opinions/tips/help.</p>
<p>THIS IS FOR UC'S!!!</p>
<p>i'd call the admissions office tomorow and let them know asap. if you cant get in contact send emails!</p>
<p>I e-mailed UC's because they got my name wrong, and they responded more than a month later (they did change my name correctly). Place of birth is rather important... especially if you are not a citizen/perma holder. I too suggest that you get contact with UC's asap.</p>
<p>strange error...are you a citizen? because I don't think it will be a big problem, but THAT kind of "error" would make me wonder...it is not like you misspelled it...you put down the wrong country</p>
<p>sure it will be okay, but when you call, be sure and clarify you are a citizen....</p>
<p>I was born in Spain but to American Parents, so I clarify that...make sure you ddint make any other errors before you call</p>
<p>when i emailed UCLA, and i have a lot, i get a response withing 30-60 minutes.... and they always pick up when i call so i dunno</p>
<p>if you are a citizen, it won't matter, so notification is not really necessary. If you have attended a Calif HS for three years, it won't matter whether or not you are a citizen. If you the answers to the first two questions are No, then it can matter.</p>
<p>mine was berkeley lol</p>
<p>I am a citizen, but I don't want any problems when I do get accepted. </p>
<p>BlueBayou, should I not notify them at all? </p>
<p>1) I don't really want to annoy them.
2) It might hurt my application - they think that I can't do something so simple correctly.
3) It is not a big mistake.</p>
<p>Will it bother them, that I am bring something so mediocre to their attention?</p>
<p>But I don't want any problems if I do get accepted into the UCs. And I don't want them to investigate and think that I am lying.</p>
<p>So does anyone else have opinions? Right now, I am leaning forward to calling each individual UC but I am not sure.</p>
<p>^it's not mediocre and you are responsible for correcting your mistake. Now or later, you are going to have to contact them, so if I were you, I would act now. I doubt you will be annoyance for those kind of problems.</p>
