<p>tgbyhnasdf, I was accepted on the 1st with no scholarships or anything.</p>
<p>haha this doesnt help me at all, you guys are like all 4.0+ GPA, 1400 SAT. anybody with a 3.5 or below get in?</p>
<p>Yeah, their average GPA is 3.9, so where are the people with lower end gpas? Or maybe it's just that lower GPA people are less likely to post on CC</p>
<p>Nope, at least not at my school. It seems that everyone will a 3.6 and below has not received a notification yet.</p>
<p>Hey guys...
I was accepted because I was one of the ELCs...
But, when I went to MyUCI(website), my acceptance status was still pending...
Well, I received financial information, which asked me to send file tax for 2004 or to send a notification to indicate whether I will be going to UCI or not...</p>
<p>i've received the financial information...does that mean I'm in?</p>
<p>taffy-i have a friend who was accepted with under 3.6.. i think he has a 3.5 or a 3.4...SATs weren't great either, i dont even know if he broke 1200, he is a chem major.</p>

</p>
<p>I've heard some rumors that if you receive the financial info beforehand, there's a strong chance you're in, but I can't confirm that.</p>
<p>i've received some financial info but i think they send that to everyone b/c i didn't even report any income on the app, file for fafsa or anything, didn't apply for a fee waiver or anything...</p>
<p>i also got brochures before about UCI Campuswide Honors Prorgram when I definitely don't qualify for that...</p>
<p>I got financial aid info too. Can anyone confirm if this hints at admission?</p>
