<p>How does UCI Admissions detect fake transcripts? Someone got in this year with a fake transcript as a transfer student from a community college.</p>

<p>This is weird…</p>

2

<p>got in by sending a fake? or by claiming different grades? It’s pretty hard to fake an official, as it has to be sealed, and sent from the school you’re transfering from.</p>

<p>Sent a fake transcript and accepted by Admissions.</p>

<p>I doubt Admissions actually verify the authenticity of the transcript with the school or the GPA with the school…</p>

<p>Looks like Admissions do neither of them…</p>

<p>wwwwwwwwwwww</p>

<p>Well, if you need to send a fake one, then you dont deserve to be going to uci!</p>

<p>ehh, why would you even need to fake the transcripts? UCI is pathetically easy to transfer to if you’re coming from a california community college.</p>

<p>I’m in the top quartile of transferees(as measured by GPA) and I never studied did homework or tried.</p>

<p>So you know someone who sent fake transcripts to UVa, USC and UCI, huh?</p>

<p>Should probably stop caring about those who get in via cheating and just focus on trying to get as far as you can yourself, eh. Unless, of course, his accomplishments start to affect you, like he takes credit for something you did or he gets something over you, but meh. Everything is able to be forged. Some guy recently was just caught who got into Harvard, won awards and thousands of dollars via things he completely plagiarized. His teacher recs, his transcript from high school, his transcript from colleges like Stanford and MIT where he said he studied, and yeah, even the essays he submitted for the award were not his own. He did get caught, but who knows how many more there are out there. Hard to really check within a period of three months with 50,000 applications, so yeah, it is possible to get through colleges this way. Of course, doing this, you realize even getting caught for the smallest misdemeanor involved with fake transcripts can get you kicked out every single college that holds some value and that pretty much messes up your entire future, so need to factor that in, too.</p>
