URGENT! -- UC Application

Transfer Students

<p>I just realized that I stated the wrong year at one of my jobs in my work experience. What can I do about this? I don't want this error to get me rejected! Maybe that's why UCI has yet to send me any form of acceptance / rejection letter...</p>

<p>Relax, that will NOT affect your acceptance.</p>

<p>I posted this EXACT question about a week ago. Don't worry about it. It's not a big deal and UCI gave me an acceptance notification too.</p>

4

<p>Well, I am worried because if I have to send in proof of my ECs or work experience and they see that it doesn't match up with what I stated in my UC application then they will think that I am a liar! LOL.</p>

<p>Adcoms will understand human error. A lot of people besides you probably entered wrong work information as well. Not everyone will remember their exact workdates. So some months may be off, or they might make a yearly mistake like we did. I doubt they'll reject anyone for small errors like that.</p>

<p>I hope you are right. I heard that they are strict about ECs and work experience since a lot of people lie on their apps. I just don't want to be one of those people! I didn't come this far to be rejected based on my ECs or work experience. BLAH!</p>

<p>Where did you hear this?</p>

</p>

<p>Gabe and others on this forum.</p>

<p>and what did they say would be the penatly if you entered wrong information?</p>

</p>

<p>Your acceptance will be revoked.</p>

11

<p>Well that sucks, I made the same mistake you did and may be off by one month on another one of my jobs since I guessed the workdate. With the chances of my application being revoked being increased, can I still re-apply next year?</p>

<p>Being off a month or two is nothing to worry about. I think inputting the incorrect year will cause some problems. Yikes!</p>

<p>Bump, bump, bump it up!</p>

13

<p>the only thing i would be concerned about is.</p>

<ol>
<li>Mistake grades</li>
<li>Not finishing IGETC</li>
<li>forgetting to wear pants when u come to class.</li>
</ol>

<p>I'm almost positive that none of that will matter. I believe the fact that you actually DID what you said is more important than WHEN you did it. Of course it doesn't matter what I think but I don't see admissions officers revoking an admission over something like that. I think their spotcheck process is mainly to uncover cases where students blatantly lie on their application.</p>

<p>Time will tell.</p>

<p>Yeah, I really hope the adcoms don't check up on the fact that I cured cancer.</p>
