Will UCLA rescind me?

So I got into UCLA for pre-history. yay.

The issue lies with my self reported grades. Essentially, I’m an out of state student and have only taken honors and AP classes. 12 APs, the rest honors. I marked my honors courses as honors when apparently I wasn’t supposed too (because I’m oos). I saw a post regarding this at UCSB, and apparently the AO’s know how to recognize this and recalculate it, but I’m not sure what UCLA protocols are. I feel like this is a pretty obvious mistake, and it would be hard to miss, so maybe they already know? I just don’t want them to think I was trying to get a leg up or something. Another small error I made was marking my AP Comp Sci Principles class as C/Computer Science, when it was supposed to be a D/Science class (?). In my school its considered a math, but I am not sure if this is that big of an issue.

I have only ever gotten A’s, and didn’t mark any letter grades wrong, just the weight of them. I plan on calling admissions tomorrow to get a definitive answer.

I also used this video from a UCI OOS Admissions officer when I was filling out my UC app, and at ~24:00 she essentially encourages to do what I did (that’s why I am here now).

Marking your Honors classes as Honors for an OOS applicant will not be an issue since the UC’s will not use those classes in the UC GPA calculation. They will determine which Honors classes are appropriate for their HS course rigor evaluation.

Regarding listing the wrong CS class. Fill out the form or send an email about the error. Not an issue if you notify them prior to enrolling and sending your final transcript. Only issue would be if you did not meet the minimum UC Science eligibility by categorizing the class wrong. If you were accepted to UCLA I would assume you far exceed the minimum science requirements without that class.

Yes, if the APCSP class is under D/Science, I still have enough science and math credits for admission.
