<p>Anyone planning to attend this? </p>
<p>It's this Friday in case you didn't see it .</p>
<p>I would have liked to, but its on Friday and I have class…</p>
<p>anything really important going to go on?</p>
<p>I really want to go too, but I live up in the Bay and it’s just a long drive…</p>
<p>^ same situation</p>
<p>I’ll give a status update after friday i guess. </p>
<p>How are you guys doing the mandatory counseling meeting? </p>
<p>Gotta drive all the way down here huh</p>
<p>Yea Peter, can’t miss that one lol.
I faxed in my info, I hope that isn’t going to hinder my chances of getting an appointment at a decent date. Did you get a confirmation email yet?</p>
<p>just curious. Any bio majors transferring to uci?</p>
<p>Yea, I’m a biological science major. And what mandatory counseling meeting o_O?</p>
<p>alright I just got acknowledgment for mine on June 19 for Psychology</p>
<p>see you guys there (maybe)</p>
<p>Ya i got a response right away the next day .</p>
<p>My appointment is on the 10th of July at 10:00 am</p>
<p>BTW the mandatory counseling meeting is for all transfer during that session they will set up your classes for the year and if you don’t attend one they will put a hold on your record until you do. </p>
<p>Social science email went out couple of days ago for other schools it might be a few days but it’s required for all transfer. </p>
<p>It kinda of makes sense. So you kinda know what classes to sign up for</p>
<p>so, who went??</p>
<p>99.999999% of the women at the school were BEAUTIFUL!!!</p>
<p>I did i thought it was pretty interesting.</p>
<p>They provided refreshments which was nice coffee/tea/juice all the standard and fruits and muffinsss!</p>
<p>Each individual school was on hand along with housing/transfer start programs. So you could actually talk to someone from each school and ask about graduation requirements/minor degree opportunities which was nice.</p>
<p>They had a transfer panel with a couple of transfer that talked about their experiences at UCI and why you should SIR to UCI. Very friendly and approachable people. Had a cute girl on stage too which was always good =)</p>
<p>Then they either showed you the transfer lounge which is a portion of a building with 5-6 computers / lounge chairs /mini fridge/microwave just for transfer student in between classes. It’s actually in a pretty nice location kinda near the Social science/paul meager/Social ecology buildings. </p>
<p>Then a campus tour. Which i can summarize by saying OMG campus is a circle , park in the middle absolutely gorgeous. Ring road is cool and the campus is very well laid out imo. You can never get lost in it. I made a detour to the bookstore and played with the Ipad all in all pretty fun. </p>
<p>This event was more to convince you to SIR to Irvine. I believe the next event will provide alot more information either on june 29th or july 9th i think ?</p>
<p>how do you set up a counselors meeting</p>
<p>Great thread and response, peterr86! Looks like it was informative and pleasant. </p>
<p>I wasn’t able to attend today: how can I go about getting something similar when I visit there next weekend? Is this possible? (do I need to schedule a ‘visit UCI’ session on the phone?)</p>
<p>It won’t have all the bell and whistle as today. I do advise against going on your on and maybe waiting till June.</p>
<p>But if you want i do believe there are campus tours daily make sure to call ahead and park at the student services parking which is off of bridge street and pierson? It’s kinda weird </p>
<p>My suggestion-</p>
<p>Walk a circle around Ring Road it’s basically a road in the middle of middle ring that goes to all the different schools. </p>
<p>The graduate schools are on the outer ring the undergrad in the middle and in the center is Aldrich Park.</p>
