Hey Y’all! For those of you who got a letter saying you got in, just wait until tomorrow morning because maintenance starts in the early morning. So after the maintenance, I’m sure you’ll see that big old acceptance message. Unofficially congrats in the meantime! lol
@Eptheus my boyfriend is applying from a cc, but he’s also a second baccalaureate applicant (first degree was from ucsb), and on top of that for CS. so we’re frankly quite shocked since he just applied this application cycle without expecting much. spoke to a friend who got in with TAG, and she noted that she did not receive the same physical acceptance letter as we did which I’m presuming all had a picture of the vice chancellor of student affairs at the bottom? I really hope @AdultSwimFan is right though!
either way, I’ll try to give uci admissions a call first thing 8 am tomorrow to get to the bottom of it if somehow his status has still remained unchanged. will keep everyone posted!
Don’t forget to join the transfer 2018 group on Facebook!
@breadpakora if you don’t mind sharing, what pre reqs are your boyfriend missing?
is the myadmission portal down for anyone else?
@alexj31 Mines not down. Did you TAG for UCI?
I called them about the letter. They said a whole bunch of letter had accidentally gone out to transfer students due to a system error. They said to just ignore that letter and check our portals for acceptance/rejection information.
I was wondering at what GPA I should fell “safe” in engineering for UCI. Do you guys care to weigh in?
@Eptheus That’s what they always say (or hint) when they encounter an error. It’s definitely a sign of being accepted for those who got the letter.
@AdultSwimFan That’s definitely just a guess and you definitely aren’t a UCI admissions representative.
Ya this dude has been saying random gibberish like they’re facts for the past couple of months on multiple threads
So I previously received an email saying, “We are in the process of reviewing your application. Before we can complete our review and reach an admission decision we need [your transcript]”
Is it something to be concerned about?
@alliot I also got the same thing. They asked when I took a certain class, even though everything was right on my application. I wasn’t sure if it was a good or bad thing.
Do you guys know if admissions evaluate applications based on who submitted it first? In order?
They didn’t specify any reasoning as to why, but one reason I can think of is I have about 90 to 100 units completed by the end of this semester (Between IGETC and major I was previously pursuing, and major I am currently pursuing).
@alliot I think they were just looking further into the application. I wouldn’t be too concerned.
I feel kind of discouraged now. UCI really messed up by sending those letters out. Gave people false hope.
Hey guys quick question i was checking checking my Financial aid status for UCI and when I clicked on my aid reward it says “Your file is complete and we are expecting to begin awarding financial aid in early May. You will receive notification from us once your award information is available.” is this totally separate from admissions or …
Is it possible to transfer as a double major? (art and business admin.) I know that business admin. is not included in their TAG majors so I’m really wondering how that double major combo would work. Also, is it possible to state Art as my major then bus. admin. as my minor?
