Hey guys, UC Irvine was originally my back-up / safety school, but I didnt get any regents or CHP notifications so I’m getting a bit worried. Thanks for your time!

My essays were pretty good i believe. My friends and teachers said that they were unique and very well written. I worked on them through the summer.
Many of my friends with lower stats received regents/ chp to uci. Not to brag or sound pretentious, but does UCI reject over qualified students? I have received invitation to apply regents at both UCLA and Berkeley so I am surprised I didnt get anything from UCI.
I applied computer science.
