So I just found out today that I listed the section numbers instead of the course numbers on my UC application. UC San Diego calls me up and is like, "well, you gave us the section numbers, but we can't do anything with that." As you can imagine I was pretty embarrassed. Some of you might be asking how the heck can somebody make that mistake; well, the online website for my school isn't that great--what i mean is things aren't labeled that clearly. I usually just register for classes online and whatnot, so I've never had to discern between course number and section number. WELL as the UCSD rep. pointed out to me, I made a huge error.

I contacted the UC Processing Application Service and told them what happened. They said just to send them an e-mail with all the corrections, and that it shouldn't have any affect on admissions. I contacted all the UCs that I applied to also just to let them know about this. I hope everything will be okay.

Yeah, I am so grateful to UC San Diego for giving me a call.

Yea its really nice that they called you. I was always worried that if you mess up on something like that then they would just disregard your application. I mean they have thousands of correctly filled ones (not trying to be mean or anything). I guess it doesn't work like that though, good to know.

What do you guys think? Is this gonna make a difference?

As long as you notified all of the schools you should be fine.

Hey, you asked

If possible, I would try to include your full academic record on the application update by listing
Term: Courses - Grades
F06: MAT 001 - A
HIST 005 - B

S07: MAT 010 - B
ENG 01A - A

I'm not sure if you will have enough space depending on your educational history. Put this in a document so you can fax or email the information to the campuses as well if they need it. I would call or contact each admissions office and explain the error, let them know if you were able to include the information in the update or it wouldn't fit so you need to send it separately, ask how (Email or fax) to get it to the office.
