Hello, I recently got an email asking me to explain a discrepancy within my UC application where I put down I took a Digital Media class in my 11th grade year but it was an honest error when I was doing my application and I put it down since I thought we needed all a-g requirements on the grades and I put down digital media since it was the closest class to film which I took as a college class and I forgot to remove it after putting down all my College Courses. I already called admissions and they told me to respond to the email and that it shouldn’t affect my admission. Should I be worried? What should I do if I get my admission rescinded from this? Any help is appreciated. @Gumbymom and others pls help.
I dont think there’s much risk in here, just respond back to the email and explain honestly the mistake and you should be fine.

I agree with @V3rnor that you should be fine as long as you explain the mistake.
Okay, thank you guys. I guess only time will tell what happens next.
Please come back and let us know. Sounds like all should be fine.

@Gumbymom @happy1 @V3rnor I was going through my UC application and I found that I put down that I had an A in my Honors English 10 second semester grade when it was really a B and that I put an A for my AP Computer Science Principles class first semester grade when I only got one A for my second semester grade. I feel like such an idiot only seeing these errors now. My official transcript says its already been reviewed on the Applicant portal but they haven’t sent me an email about the errors, they only asked about having the extra digital media class mentioned above. Does this mean I’m about to have my admission rescinded? What should I do to prevent this? Thank you for any help.
I would contact admissions about the newly discovered errors and take ownership of all the discrepancies. Better to inform them now than to have them send you another email inquiry about these discrepancies.
Historically they rescind for D’s and F’s so a mix up of some A’s and B’s should too much of an issue.
It is all in the hands of admissions so all you can do is wait for an answer.

Hello, thank you for the quick response, do you have a recommended email or phone number I should use to contact them. Or should I just respond in another email to the discrepancy email I already got?
Concerning email v. phone, an email is always better as you’ll have it on paper. Concerning who to send the email to, sending both a brand-new email and following up with the previous discrepancy email won’t hurt.

I agree with @V3rnor to email for a paper trail but can call to give them a heads up.
Thank you for the advice, I was wondering if should I just send the email to tritonadmissons@ucsd.edu which is who sent my discrepancy email or to admissionsreply@ucsd.edu.
Should I ask for someone or say something specifically when I call in? Or should I just say I want to report an error on my UC Application? Again thank you guys for all your help.
Did you get a contact name for the original email? If so, then use that contact. If not, you can ask for a supervisor or a person in charge that you want to report an application error.
No, the original email did not have a contact name, so I guess I would need to ask for a supervisor. I would have to call tomorrow since they have already closed but thank you for the advice. This has been extremely scary for me and I’m thankful that there are people like you guys willing to help. Thank you guys sm.

Hello, so i called them today and they told me they weren’t accepting any updates to the applications at this time and they told me to just let them know about the new errors by sending them a comment to the contact us page. I’m not sure what else to do. 
I would address the original discrepancy and state while re-reviewing your UC application you noticed a couple more errors which you can also explain in the email. You want some written documentation about all the errors in case they notify you later for more details.
Okay, I’ve sent the follow up email to the original discrepancy yesterday, should I just use that as written documentation of my errors?
Yes, keep a copy of that email for documentation purposes.
Okay, so now I just have to wait, but do you by any chance know how long it would take for them to get back to me? Also have there been previous rescinds due to similar issues like mine? And is there anything you would advise to help my keep my mind off this? Thank you @Gumbymom
Over the many years that I have been on CC, I have seen acceptances being rescinded for mainly failure to report D’s and F’s or not maintaining Senior grades resulting in D’s or F’s.
Your errors are minor in comparison and I really do not know how long it will to take before you get an answer. Hopefully within the next 2 weeks.
