<p>well I was accepted as a poli sci major at ucsd and davis. still hoping to get into cal. my question is this: on my employment record I put down my last 2 jobs, but the problem is I was getting paid under the table at both. so theres no recordof my taxes or ever being employed. are they gonna ask for w-2’s or tax records or anytning like that when I enroll? cause if they do then im screwed…</p>
<p>doubt they’ll ask…</p>
<p>if they don’t ask i can BS and say that i worked for Donald Trump as a apprentice. Maybe they check randomly?</p>
<p>The ucs arent secretive about doing random checks…</p>
<p>word.</p>
<p>but i heard its only like 10% of the applicants that they check on</p>
<p>donsarnit that doesnt make me feel any better. well I wasnt working at lawrence livermore lab or curing cancer or anything it was only as a cashier and bartending. I think Im gonna call a uc to make sure(giving a fake name of course LOL) I cant even smoke weed anymore cause Im freaking paranoid over this, raaaar</p>
<p>yup… I read that it’s 10% as well.</p>
<p>where are you reading 10%… are you pulling numbers out of your ass</p>
<p>i can’t wait anymore!!~~~!!!
although waiting is better than being rejected!!~
i just wanna know so badly now!!!gosh…
2 weeks more to go!!!</p>
<p>iummmmmmhii</p>
<p>there was an article in the paper here(sacramento bee) last week which was talking about admissions to colleges getting harder and harder. and one of the facts they had was that the UC offices randomly check 10% of applicants</p>
<p>UC’s have been saying 10% for a long time.
I don’t think its true.</p>
<p>If UCLA gets over 40,000 applications, do you really think they have the resources to verify over 4,000 EC’s? I could be totally wrong, but it doesn’t strike me as plausible.</p>
<p>Furthermore, does anyone have any anecdotal evidence of someone’s EC’s being checked? I’ve only heard of one case, which seems odd if they are really checking out the EC’s of 1 out every 10 applicants. I would imagine a lot more people talking about their coaches/employers/club advisors/etc being contacted if this number were really true.</p>
<p>I’m not advocating that anyone ought lie on their application, however.</p>
<p>as for pulling numbers out of my ass:</p>
<p>time magazine had an article regarding this last August or something… the issue was geared toward higher ed. They listed that 10% are randomly checked.</p>
<p>I suggest you take the time to research before you call people out on pulling something out of their asses.</p>

<p>statement: hurry the f.uck up?</p>
<p>I have to agree somewhat with Nuveen. Schools don’t have the resources to spend much time on these applications. </p>
<p>I would still be surprised if they even read the essays. I know many believe every word is read: I am not one of them.</p>
<p>Why would they even read essays for GPA’s that don’t meet their standard. How many 3.0’s and lower get sent to CAL and UCLA hoping “They will put it in the wrong pile at decision time” I know a handfull of students who have applied to CAL and UCLA with this “hope”. </p>
<p>Diamond: I would agree that schools have a target number such as 10%, but rather that really happens or not???</p>
<p>yeah…irvine accepted me the 20th of february…i think uci just tossed the personal statements and used them to make origami</p>
<p>I seriously think all these punk UC’s are gonna wait til the very last day of April before posting my decisions. Of the 4 UC’s I applied to, only 1 has responded so far. Now I only check twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.</p>
<p>Countdown!</p>
<p>After getting an acceptance letter from UCSD, I emailed their admission office about a week ago…because I dropped a class, which was non-uc transferable class… well, I dropped the class before I got the acceptance letter…( of course, after I updated my fall grade and in progress spring grade)… do you guys think this will be a big deal?</p>
<p>No#10chars</p>
<p>iluvschool: </p>
<p>i am in the same situation because i am on boarder line of not passing in two classes, well not going to get a B. do you guys think i should just drop it and take it in the summer session offered at the UC?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
