<p>So for UCSD I'm guessing the housing trick for them worked because the people who were told that they had to come back later to apply for housing got accepted and the people who were told that they couldnt access it ended up being rejected. Is this the same for Irvine possibly? </p>
<p>I doubt it. Because Irvine accepts/rejects applicants in batches, you wouldn’t be able to tell if they had rejected you or just not input your acceptance on the website yet.</p>
