<p><.< It’s only a theory chill I havent heard either :(. I don’t want UCI to be my first UC rejection <.<. I already know I will get one from other ones D:</p>
<p>Yeah I know its only a theory. Hopefully we will be discussing getting in soon. This is just so nerve racking, its been a month and I see most of friends in.</p>
<p>at least by march 31…WE WILL KNOW >:O. <em>HAhahaha…<.<</em></p>
<p>T__T my dream is to be able to write on the “Accepted!” thread for CC’s UCI forum ): ): ): <em>sigh</em> this wait is killing all of us D: i was expecting like at least one or two emails by now but I guess not…</p>
<p>lol at the dream. Not cuz I don’t believe you XD but it sounds funny XD. <em>don’t take it personally :O, didn’t mean to sound mean</em>. I was such a loser today, I got an email from UCI today…then i saw the words financial aid and literally QQed <.<.</p>
<p>^LOOOL. i got the same email too! And I was SO like OH YAY at the moment and then i realized =<strong>=. and im still getting those random emails from those random schools saying “we will give you another deadline” for the one millionth time and they trick me too because they start with the word “university” so i get all like oh yay again but then i die inside when i read the words following saying “of the pacific”
=</strong>_= aiyah.</p>
<p>those tricky dicky email D:. I was so bored and counted how many emails i got from each UC. and I got 15 from UCB and like 10 from UCR <.< and rest like 1…or 2 <.<.</p>
<p>Sorry for spamming this thread everyone T.T and listening to me be angry at not hearing about the decisions :(.</p>
<p>@Shibykin Well at least you got 15 emails from UCB. I applied to UCB too but I only received 1 email from them, asking me to activate my UCB application account. What was the email about? Don’t mind asking. Maybe it is because I am OOS I don’t receive emails from them :/</p>
<p>lol. well 1/2 of them was about scholarship, then theres the thank you for applying emails, then theres the supplemental questionaire that i had to fill out :)</p>
<p>Well nothing at 7:00, maybe in the next two hours. Shibykin, that is really good. A supplement to Cal is like half way in/probably will get in.</p>
<p>Haha yes :(</p>
<p>from what i read in the berkeley thread getting the supplemental means that they’re trying to find a reason not to reject you. if you don’t get the supplement you’re either officially in or officially rejected so getting the supplemental could be better or it could be bad. it all depends on your point of view. hahahaha</p>
<p>For me with below avg gpa it’s a good thing. Btw I think the wave was tomorrow not today since acceptance thread showed Monday and Wednesday having ppl getting in this week while today and thurs seems empty</p>
<p>so it would be monday wednesday friday?
my friend told me today that she thinks its a once a week thing… D: ?? idk about that.</p>
<p>well no1 got in today and some ppl said they got in monday and yesterday some did :)</p>
<p>College Admissions are so unpredictable. My friend got into Irvine for Bio-Medical Engineering a few weeks ago, yet he checked that he got rejected to Cal Poly. While, I got wait listed for Electrical Engineering at Cal poly, but got into Purdue Engineering (one of the best in the country) and have yet to hear from UCI for Undecided Physical Science. </p>
<p>Hopefully something tomorrow.</p>
<p>@legend: getting into a school and graduating from it are two different things. lots of people get into purdue engr, but many drop out. there’s a saying about cornell: easiest ivy to get into, hardest to graduate… blah blah blah.</p>
<p>if you wanted an extreme example, look at reed college in portland, oregon. (while not as much anymore) they use to take ANYONE who could read, write, and pay tuition (with fin aid, etc). ie not selective at all. at the same time. they were ranked in the top 5 in % of alumni who get phds in science and engr (behind mudd, mit and cal tech… good company in the sciences)</p>
<p>but yes, college admissions is weird. a friend of mind go into caltech early and the ucsd med program, every ivy league turned him down.</p>
<p>^Very true on everything you said. That is pretty shocking that your friend got turned down to every Ivy, because I heard the ucsd med program is as prestigious as Harvard or something and of course Cal Tech is Cal Tech.</p>
<p>

<p>Sorry to butt in, but Reed didn’t accept ANYONE who could read,write and pay tuition. True only very few were rejected when the acceptance rate was ~70-80%, but quite a majority of those who applied were the brightest students in high school. If they weren’t, of course they wouldn’t be able to manage Reed and possibly dropped out. It was what was called “self-selection”, which applied to places like University of Chicago and Reed when they didn’t attract as many applicants, but still remained two of the finest institutions in their own right. Now in the past decade that’s changed a lot with application rates down to ~30% at Reed, but you guys are very right, selectivity has nothing to do with how tough the place is. In fact, I’d say selectivity and the rigour of a place are inversely proportional.</p>
