hi! so i really want to go to a uc, so if i dont get into any that i applied or get accepted and get rescinded for whatever reason, when would be the right to time to apply to a cc? because i was planning on doing the tag program if i didnt get into a uc straight after high school. thanks in advance!
CC applications for Summer 2021 and Fall 2021 are usually available in the Spring. Check the CC websites for their application deadlines along with deadlines for taking any placement tests.
ok so, say if i were to get rescinded quite late (like july) would i still be able to enroll in a community college?
Applying in July for Fall 2021 at a CC will be school dependent so you need to find out the deadlines once they are posted by each CC. You can apply for Summer or Fall once the application is open but not attend.
What you should worry about is why you think your acceptances may be rescinded? If you have a D or F now, contact the schools and work with them before final transcripts are due in July.
thank you! im just worried since i did make quite a bit of errors regarding my coursework history and although ive emailed and done everything i could to make the updates (some schools told me they will see after decisions come out) im worried that if accepted, my application could get rescinded because my transcript that i send in in july doesn’t match with what i self reported.
What will get you rescinded is incorrect grades reported or not meeting the UC a-g course requirements. Mistakes with course names, course categories or reporting courses in the wrong year are not an issue especially if you have already notified the schools.
unfortunately, one of the mistakes on my application was reporting a grade wrong, so i guess i should be pretty worried. I fixed the mistake with davis and riverside told me they got the update, but im extremely nervous about uci and ucsb which don’t take post submission updates.
Grade discrepancies have to be major like not reporting a D or F vs. an A or B.
As long as the UC’s were notified of the errors (even if they do not allow updates), it should not be an issue. However, if you want a CC as a backup, then just apply when the application opens for Summer or Fall.
thanks so much for you help i really appreciate it! the mistake i made was putting an A when it was actually a B by mistake. i know this alters my uc gpa so i just hope that ucr and davis got the updates.
