UC Berkeley Rescind

[mikemac]

All I know is every time a kid is nervous and wants reassurance, you slam them. There are nicer ways

@lindyk8 my comments to kids worrying about being rescinded or other questions about UC rules and procedures suggest, and will continue to suggest, that kids turn for reliable information from the people at UC that are usually happy to help. This is slamming? As Davis wrote in its alumni magazine with regards to being rescinded

At UC Davis, the best action is to contact the university early, even before final grades come out. Says Campbell, “We tell students if anything changed from when you put your application in, let us know as soon as it happens. We want to work with you early on.”

There is no reason for an admitted student to fear making contact, even with news about poor performance, because the university’s goal is to keep the student eligible to enroll. If the student delays, he or she may find that it’s too late to sign up for summer school at community college, which often begins in early June.

Are the people at Davis in on the conspiracy to slam kids too?

If anything, kids need protection from posters giving incorrect information that can really take them off course. Just in the past few days you told a kid transferring to UCSB that they couldn’t change their major until they were on campus. Link is http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/18448011/ for anyone that cares to check. Actually the rule at UCSB allows a change of major prior to enrolling. More germane, if they don’t change before enrolling they can’t change for 2 quarters after arriving. Still sure your “reassurance” is the better way?
