How is the UCI Waitlist looking this year?

@coolforschool oops forgot to @, haha. I was referring to the link above: http://www.acceptancerate.com/schools/university-of-california-irvine
Most of the information just seems off…

It obviously is off haha. It’s from 2012.

I’m so excited. Hopefully we all get good news next week.

@collegelyfe17 haha yeah that information is off. That is from year’s past and uci has not even released their admission data for this year yet :stuck_out_tongue:
They Will release it sometime in May.

may is approaching soon >.< good luck everyone!

i’m actually really nervous. there’s still that possibility that irvine will reach its target enrollment. Anything can happen, and I don’t want to be too sure that they will pull from the waitlist, although I really do hope they take us off…
Anyways, do you guys think looking at the Facebook group is an accurate way of predicting how many will enroll? (haha yes i’m that desperate to get the estimate of the numbers) I know obviously there are people who enrolled and aren’t in the group, but there’s also people who already go to UCI plus those people who chose another school over irvine still in the group so maybe it balances out?

@lollicupcatxx
Yeah I’m actually really nervous too!
What you said is definitely true. We won’t know for sure until we actually get the admission decision and all we can do is hope for the best

LOOOL I ACTUALLY LOOKED AT FB TOO
I mean less people are in this year’s group compared to last year’s group so…

hopefully we have some good news soon!

Yep!

Oh also, from reading past collegeconfidential waitlist discussions, I noticed that when UCI accepts people off the waitlist, they accept early (May 1-May 8 ish), and if they don’t accept anyone, then they just reject them on may 15. So early news is good news probably!

@collegelyfe17
Oh and I just realized what you were trying to say haha
The admissions data i said is correct. I got it from the uc website

Hopefully we hear next week. I’m hoping for an acceptance.

@waitlisted1234 How many people were in last year’s?

@lollicupcatxx
Do you mean how many people were accepted last year?
I don’t remember but off the top of my head, I think around 80% was accepted.
2013: almost 0%
2012: 100%

I am hopeful for this years waitlist! :smiley:

@coolforschool
:slight_smile: let’s try to stay positive!! Personally I think we have a good chance.

But if we don’t get accepted off the waitlist, we can always transfer or who knows we might end up falling in love with the school that we go to.
So if this doesn’t work out, you guys will all do amazing somewhere else!!

@waitlisted1234 oh, I meant the number of people who were in the fb group for class of 2018
around this time last year.

@lollicupcatxx
Oh idk how many there were around this time last year. But right now last year’s group has 10k people (including random people who aren’t even going to uci or like people from the wrong year)
And this year’s group has like 3.7k which you’ve probably seen before.
It’s just kind of sort of… A good sign maybe??? There was a lot less acceptances this year and it’s proven cus of all the articles about how they waitlisted a lot of people.

So yeahhhhh

@waitlisted1234 thanks for answering my question! and also does UCI always do an all or nothing waitlist acceptance like in 2012 and 2013? sigh i think I might faint from the anxiety of the waitlist

@collegelyfe17 according to previous posts its usually about 35-40% acceptance off waitlist, unless its 2013 and they over-enrolled.

Hopefully it will come out soon haha
