Accepted! After rejection from UCSD

<p>UCSD was a bit of a reach but I'm proud to say I have been admitted to UCI and hopefully UCSB! Check the portal, and if it's not up for you stay hopeful!
HAPPPPY DAAAAAAAAAAYS!</p>

<p>Which would you rather attend?? And why? I’m in the same boat, I’m accepted to UCI and UCSB, and I’m kind of leaning towards UCSB, but people on this forum have posted they don’t take UCSB seriously…</p>

<p>Me too! This acceptance took off the sting of the rejection from UCSD. Now I just have to choose between UCI or UCD.</p>

<p>What are the pros of UCI aside from its rank?</p>

<p>@California I am more inclined to go to UCSB, however UCI is closer to home so I don’t really know right now</p>

<p>Hi, what time did you all check (pacific time)? Im quite nervous at the moment, I applied for a biological sciences major. Many of my peers have already been accepted with this major, but I need some reassurance!</p>

<p>@s94malik I checked at around 10:45pm last night.</p>

<p>Macdroid14 what were your GPA and SAT/ACT scores?</p>

<p>3.91 UW
1680 SAT (yea I know it’s low lol)
Looking through the forums, it looks like the UC’s favor high GPA/low SAT more than low GPA/high SAT. Just what I’ve been seeing/my opinion.</p>

<p>Ugh. Great -.- I have a 3.7 UC weighted and a 33 ACT so this is just perfect -.-</p>

<p>Basically same as BigLeap :/</p>

<p>You never know. There are still other factors that are reviewed, not just GPA and test scores.</p>

<p>I got accepted as a Comp Sci major with a 3.68 UW, 31 ACT, and 2060 SAT. I’m sure you’ll do fine, BigLeap and TheNexus. They do weigh in other factors.</p>

<p>10:45 seems quite late. I saw on the portal website that admissions will be posted before 9am. I applied as biological sciences. </p>

<p>Had a 4.0 weighted GPA, 1690 SAT, good essays, and tons of work with UNICEF. I’m also an IB Diploma student, don’t know how much that helps.</p>

<p>@s94malik
Last night a lot of acceptances were given out at random times at night. So… not sure when they plan to send notifications out now.</p>

I’m in the same situation! I was accepted to UCI and UCSB, and I don’t know which one to lean on. At first I was more inclined to go to UCSB over UCI, but after talking with some UCI students in the UCI Facebook group, I don’t know which to pick if my top 3 schools doesn’t go through. :(</p>

<p>Ok, thanks. I hate how random UCI is with their decisions =/</p>

<p>I just got an acceptance from Chapman University, so that gives me some hope for UCI.</p>

<p>Congrats!!!</p>

<p>Can you post the link to the UCI FB group I can’t find it. And yeah I had a really low sat as well (1640) but 4.2 gpa oh and I checked my status at 11:40pm pacific time.</p>
