FALL 2018 UCI Irvine Official Transfer Thread

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Irvine

Thanks for the response. I’m actually probably financially okay - even with the markets lately, I’ve been saving extra in my IRAs for years and have more than enough to pay for a couple of years at a UC if needed while still meeting my goals - but I’m still curious. Plus, any money I don’t have to spend just puts me further ahead on retirement.

My current job wants to keep me on part-time wherever I go, including letting me work remotely. That would almost certainly pay better than any program the school could offer (I’m north of $50 an hour equivalent right now). But my goal is to have zero loans once I’m done. I know my salary right now precludes me from any “needs-based” stuff, but I have no idea what if any merit-based options they might toss my way.

(I’ve also got a few minority classifications I can leverage for scholarships once I make a decision - gay, ADHD, older, etc. - but many of those obviously have to wait a bit.)

Anyway, thanks again. And, congrats on graduating (if a year late)!

@gonewiththeair thank you for your reply, I was starting to think it had got lost in the mail! My welcome packet arrived today too (San Diego) got in 03/20.

643

I just realize I applied to UCI as CSE and not CS by accident. This is most likely I have not heard back yet. I submitted a change of major, should I also email them about this mistake? I do not have all the requirements for CSE but I have all the reqs for CS

644

@Twenmi ASAP

645

@choukevin I emailed UCI admissions rn, I don’t know how this happened. Should I also call them?

I am very aware I will most likely have to appeal at this point as it is very late in the process idk how this happened.

EDIT: Very strange. I TAGGED to the right major but applied to the wrong one ■■■■■■■■■■

646

@Twenmi yeah call them ASAP tomorrow and explain your situation to them. That’s super weird if you tagged to the right major but applied under something else lol I’ve never heard of that happening. I think it very well might be too late at this point to change anything considering they have already released some decisions but I would still call them

647

651

@ugh4145 how many major prereqs do you have in progress this semester?

652

@choukevin oops I finished spring 2017 haha, although two major pre-req courses aren’t offered at my ccc

653

I was accepted but I have transfer conditions, am I still supported to get welcome packet now?

654

I’ve been on hold for an hour and a half, is this normal? Should I just hang up and try again?

655

@Twenmi Never give up :))

656

@JulianSprings did you tag?

657

I gave up at the 2 hr and 50 mark. I couldn’t stand to listen to “Thank you for holding, please continue to hold and we will be with you shortly” @Piktuto

658

@Twenmi today is Cesar Chavez Day. You won’t get anyone until Monday.

659

Wow I was unaware! Thank you @UCIfilm
