Text Message (SMS) Terms

1. What we text you

Reminders and updates about your student's college application essays in the Admitted California portal:

• Reminders to draft, upload or finish UC personal insight answers and Common App essays;
• Updates on an essay review you booked: that it has started, that your reviewer's feedback is ready, and the time of your 30-minute call;
• Occasional notices about your account.

These are not advertising texts. We will not use this program to send promotions or to sell anything.

2. How often

Message frequency varies. While essay drafts are unfinished you may receive up to one reminder a day, plus updates about a review when something happens. Reminders stop on their own once the essays are submitted for review. We only send between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. Pacific time.

3. Signing up

You join by entering a mobile number and ticking the consent box on our text reminders sign-up page or in your Admitted California account. The box is never ticked for you. Signing up is optional and is not a condition of any purchase.

You must be the account holder of the mobile number, or have the account holder's permission. A student under 18 is signed up by their parent or guardian, who consents on the student's behalf.

4. Stopping texts

Reply STOP (or STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END or QUIT) to any message. You'll get one final text confirming you've been unsubscribed, and no more after that. To rejoin, sign up again on the sign-up page or reply START. You can also ask us to stop by emailing jim@admittedca.com.

5. Help

Reply HELP to any message for help, or contact us at jim@admittedca.com or 562-212-4312.

6. Cost

Admitted California does not charge for these texts. Message and data rates may apply from your mobile carrier, depending on your plan.

7. Carriers

Supported on the major U.S. carriers. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery depends on your carrier and coverage, and we can't guarantee that every message arrives or arrives on time.

8. Your privacy

Your mobile number and your consent are used only to run this program. We do not sell, rent or share mobile numbers or text-message opt-in data and consent with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. A messaging provider delivers the texts on our behalf and may use the number only to deliver them. Our full Privacy Policy applies.

10. Changes

If these terms change in a way that matters, the date at the top changes and we'll tell subscribers by text. Our general Terms of Use also apply.
