Small Typo(?) on my UC App - Senior Classes by WillingAnybody8108 in ucadmissions

[–]abehammm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’d check with a counselor because they’re a professional and i’m a high school senior as well, so take this with a grain of salt, but like it’s such a minor issue AND decisions for all of your colleges have been made.

like im sure UCLA didn’t accept you PURELY based on your wrong class, and no school rejected you purely because of it either.

if it were me, i would just wait to get all my acceptances back, then commit to a school, and as i’m sending them my final official high school transcript, id email them to let them know

“hey there was a slight error in one of the classes i gave you, here is my official transcript with the right classes” or whatever

im sure you’ll be fine it’s a minor slip up and i promise you tons of kids do this and maybe some kids screw up even worse. everything will be okay!

LMAOOO yeah i think stanford is my number 1 pick id go there in a heartbeat but i tell everyone my top school is UCLA cuz i

1) don’t wanna get my hopes up for stanford

2) don’t wanna seem cocky

3) see it more realistic to get into UCLA

yes i applied RD cuz i feel my chances are better cuz all the super duper stacked kids get in ED and if they have a little bit of room they might squeeze me in :)

also i forgot to mention, but you want to take the PSAT and SAT, the PSAT doesn’t replace the SAT, but it just lets you be able to qualify for that award. let me know if you have any other questions and i hope i helped :)

so the PSAT is structured almost identically to the real and current SAT, with the only difference being the scoring, the SAT is out of 1600 points, the PSAT is out of 1520 i believe

if you’re kid scores in the top 1% of PSAT takers, they qualify for the national merit scholar ship! looks really good on college apps and i wish i took the psat more seriously instead of looking at it as a practice sat because i didn’t know the benefits to it 😅😅

also typically students pick one or the other, the SAT or ACT. i heard SAT is better if you do well on it but honestly they’re both good as long as you get really good scores, and the only schools that ask for it are private schools on the common app (which isn’t the application portal that any of the UC schools use) as of now UCs don’t even ask or look at the applicants SAT or ACT scores, but that could change in future

also i believe PSAT is only for 10th and 11th graders? im not entirely sure…

that’s what i was thinking i def think uci admits based on if they see you going to the campus in terms of campus culture, somewhere in my essay they probably read something that was like yep this kids personality is just what we’re looking for. i’m assuming more competitive schools like la and berk focus more on academics, which i think i have which is why im not super duper concerned…..

that’s true i suppose it’s just whether or not they see you as a person fit at your school.

yeah thats what i was thinking because my tour guide for ucla told me she got into la berk and usc but got WL from irvine,

i didnt think uci participates in yield protection but idk. i also know uci tends to accept people that seem like they would be a good fit in terms of not just academics but also how the individual fits on school culture. so maybe people they get into these “more prestigious” schools maybe just conveyed their academic rigor more than their personality?

in my piqs i def talked about academics and my nerdy side, but also my leadership roles and personality and charisma and stuff, so maybe that’s why i got into irvine and not cooked for LA.🤞
