Application Questions

I had a couple of questions regarding the application itself for transfer students.

1) I applied to a couple UC's when I was in high school. In my application, I didn't include the +/- for grades. In addition, I mistyped a grade. I typed in a C for a Spanish course when it was suppose to be a B. I was really unmotivated back then if you're wondering how I could be so stupid. I haven't look at the actual transfer application itself, but I assume there will be some portion asking for my high school records. Also, I did not include a course taken at a local junior college since I thought it was unnecessary.

My question is that when they notice the difference, would they consider this as fraud and not consider me for admission at all?

2) I applied to some private universities through the Common App in high school. When I tried logging in to the account I already made, the website says they have no record of it.

Does the Common App website delete accounts every year or something?

List EVERY course EVER taken at ANY community college. It will ruin you if you don't. As for the high school transcript, they don't care if you are transferring as a junior. They will only look at your community college transcript.

I definitely intend to when I apply again. I was just concerned with the application that was already submitted since they have past records.

No you will not be asked for high school grades, SAT scores, or anything like that. I don't think a mistake on your app from high school will affect your future application.

You should be fine. High school records go out the window when you apply as a transfer so incorrect high school grades won't affect you (because you won't report them on the UC application when you apply as a transfer applicant). Incorrect community college course grades reported on your previous UC application is unlikely to come back to bite you, but you should be prepared to provide unofficial transcripts ASAP if you receive a request for course grades/info from the admissions office.
