My offer of admission from UCI was recently withdrawn. The reasons being that I was unable to send in my college transcripts. I had sent in my official high school transcript on 6/28. In my junior year of high school, I took a college course from Chaffey College that was held at my high school. The grades from that course were present on my official high school transcript in a separate category.
During the month of June, I was visiting family in India, where there was a large time difference between America and India. I also had some issues with slow network signals. While traveling in India, I kept in my mind the deadline for the freshmen admission conditions and did as followed. On 6/28, when was about to turn in my college transcript (because UCI request both high school and college transcript from me) I saw that Parchment was not allowing me to request transcripts. I messaged my counselor saying that I am unable to send in my college transcript and my grades from my college course are present on my high school transcript. I also asked for advise on how to deal with the matter since I am not in the country. On 7/1, in the morning, I received a message informing me to sending in my college transcript as soon as possible in order for my holds to be cleared. Unfortunately, I saw the message on 7/3 because I was on my flight back home. On the same day, I order a transcript from Chaffey College’s website using National ClearingHouse. I used the my counselor’s email to send the transcripts. I messaged my counselor, explain the process that I had gone through to send in the transcripts. 2 days later, I received a message from National ClearingHouse that the transcript was received. On the same day, 7/5 I received a message from the counselor, telling me to send the transcripts from Parchment. Feeling a little in the dark and unadvised, I mistakenly decided to send another transcript, but this time using <admissions.uci.edu> through National ClearingHouse. Little did I know that National ClearingHouse wasn’t a portal that UCI accepted. They didn’t inform me of any of those terms until I went there and spoke to them the day I was withdrawn. </admissions.uci.edu>
On 7/18, I received my offer of admissions withdrawn letter. I then decided to write an appeal explaining everything I had done in detail and want I was messaged to do like I have explained above. I attached the message and confirmation of sent transcripts documents. I also went to Chaffey College directly to request a physical transcript (which took one business day and delay the process for me). Then on 7/19, I went to UCI to hand in my appeal with all the documents and transcripts. While I was, I explained my situation to someone working there and they informed me that I was guided wrong about the transcript and that there was a lot of confusion in the communication. They also informed me that since I have turn in my appeal by hand, it will take longer for the decision to arrive than by online.
I understand that there has been a lot of misunderstanding from my part and I also understand that I should have turned my transcript on time. However, I wanted to do it as soon as possible even after the date because UCI had set a late deadline for all documents till 7/15. So my question is now, that regrading my situation, will my appeal pass successfully?
I have decided to look into community college for transfer admission to UC. However in the mean time, I will be waiting for the response for 4-6 weeks.
