Thank you so much Ms. @Sally_Rubenstone. You’ve lifted a great weight!
This means so much not only to me but my family as well!
Take care and Bless you always!
Hello, I recently noticed an error in my application activities section, and I think it was a system error. The number of weeks in my activities is off by a couple of weeks in three sections. Two of them have 4 extra weeks and one has 8 lesser weeks than the initial number. The decisions of the University has already come out, and I just noticed this error. Is this worth mentioning to an admissions officer or counselor of the University?
Also, I would like to thank you for the amazing work you’re doing here, having a forum like this is very helpful.
@Yeloow–It’s nice that you’re being conscientious about your errors, but they’re definitely too small to correct, and they certainly didn’t affect your admission decisions.
So live this alone … and thanks for your thanks!
Hello, I hope you are doing well. I recently applied to some universities with Coalition, but I have realized that I forgot to list two courses (Computer Literacy and Health Education) in my 9th-11th Grade Coursework section. Should I contact the admission offices of the universities to notify them of these missing classes? Although they are not core classes, they still counted toward my high school diploma requirements and are listed on my high school transcript.

Just noticed an incorrect birthplace info for both my parents after submitting common application 2 weeks ago to a very competitive school. Instead of Republic of Korea (South Korea) I put Democratic People of Korea (North Korea)!
What is the best way to handle this? Will this mistake look really bad? Please advise. Thank you.
Where on the common app where does it ask for Planned AP/ IB Tests? I do not see it under the Testing section as I read on a forum. I’m trying to avoid having to make corrections later! For the UC, is better to be cautious and under-report planned IB tests if I’m not sure, or should I report what I reasonably think I will take, even if there’s a chance we don’t take them all? Thank you!
I did an activity for four years in school, but in the common app I selected only 9, 11 & 12. I missed 10th. I realized it after submitting the application to a T-5 school. I’m freaking out.
Should I contact the school to correct that? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
For a very well-known national competition, I said that I was a 2022-2023 winner (which hasn’t happened yet) when I was really a 2021-2022 winner. Should I email them to correct this? Usually the winners say that they were a 2022 winner.
What is the best way to submit 4years of summer work? My son worked in a family owned restaurant from 9-12 grade, 30-35 when a freshman and sophomore, and 40 his junior and senior summer. (His senior summer he had a few weeks of more than 40. Should he submit it as one activity, listing 40 hours a week, or average it out to 37 hours a week? Or, should he just list it as 40 hours a week and make note of the hours in the description? Thanks for your help.
I just submitted my UC application next week and I realized that I put A’s in for all of my second semester 9th grade year, when it was actually credit or no credit. I also put AP gov. for a full year, instead of one semester. Is the AP govt class able to be fixed when the UCs send grade updates later? I have already emailed UC admissions and one school I have applied to about the credit grades. Do you think there is anything else I should do? and will this effect my chances of acceptance?
Thank you so much!
@monkey211 unfortunately Sally Rubenstone (“Ask the Dean”) left CC last year and her old threads were closed and archived. This one was not closed, though she no longer responds. You may want to ask your question in a new thread to see if someone else can respond.
Already answered in the UC General Discussion Forum. Thank you. I will close this discussion.
