Official UC Irvine Fall 2017 Transfer Applicant Thread

Applied H2H, No reply!!! I am going crazy now. I have heard a lot of people receive H2H notice. I have not heard anything yet. Is it a really bad sign?

@futureanteater97 no, just a regular transfer, computer science. I thought I had tag, but actually it turned out that I did not. :slight_smile:
Oh, I sure hope so too! I am soooo tired of waiting. The last 2 weeks seem like 2 months times infinity :smiley:

@vitaminCC that’s worrisome. The whole point of H2H is we get our decisions early. Did you make sure you were eligible with a 3.7+ gpa and did your honors counselor file the paperwork for UCI?

@vitaminCC From what I heard an honors program orientation at my CC, admission into certain impacted majors, such as business administration, is not guaranteed by UCI’s H2H. Did you apply to an impacted major? This MAY be a reason, although I can’t say for sure.

*heard at

I checked with my CC honor office today. It seems like everyone else gets some good news. I did apply fot business administration. I am guessing there will be a “no” for me. The waiting is killing me. If they want to reject me, at least let me know since i am enrolled in H2H.

@lenocturne I’m also a regular transfer for Psych and Social Behavior! Hopefully they let the regular transfer students know soon!!

I hope you picked an alternate

@BackNSchool83, do you know if it is possible to apply to Med School with a degree in Psychology & Social Behavior?

I don’t know, I have a friend who is a PSB who is a bio minor who is going for med school so I think you can.

@fathergustav You can apply as ANY major for Med School! English Majors actually have one of the highest rates of being accepted into Med School! As long as you take the required classes (like certain Bios, Chems, and OChem) you are qualified with, of course, extra circulars like research/volunteering thats medical related!

Sorry for asking for the 10000th time
But like when can regular applicants expect anything?
Currently feel like a dummy for refreshing this portal page

@loyalfan49 A lot of TAG students have already heard but the majority of us (big release day) has been predicted to be April 21 around 4 or 5 PM.

I actually had no idea, I thought major was one of the stipulations. Thanks for the help!

@Nataliee177 I heard it might be around the 14-15th because some students heard back around that time last year. Maybe it was the earliest batch?

@futureanteater97 Yea, some of us might hear April 14th but the big batch will probably be April 21.

@Nataliee177 thank you! :slight_smile:

How likely is it that UC Irvine might accept me to my alternate major? I applied to Political Science but my low gpa (overall 3.13/ UC 2.8/ Major prep 3.35) might hinder my chances in that application but I alternatively chose Social Science and Public Policy which shows a lower gpa admittance. Any insight?

Hey guys what does the webpage look like when UCI makes a decision? Does the UCI portal say you have a message?

@IndianCSguy it’ll say congratulations on the top right side of the portal if you get in
