@irottah Anyone really. I’m not entirely sure I can afford UCI at this point but I made it just to start discussion/getting to know fellow transfer students.
According to last years thread it shows up as a banner on the right side. Last year it looks like a lot of people who got admitted around this time got regents, but I haven’t seen anyone on here who has noted they have.
