Official UC Irvine Fall 2017 Transfer Applicant Thread

whats ur gpa

ADMITTED!

Major: Psychology
IGETC: Will be completed by the end of this semester
Pre-reqs: Completed
GPA: 3.1 when applied but should be higher by the end of this semester
I’m in the TAP/Honors program
I got accepted to all the Cal States I applied to
Pending: UCSB and UCLA

I found out yesterday morning that I was admitted. They sent me an email at 4:30 am saying that my portal was updated. I didn’t expect to get in because my GPA was low but I think my Personal Statements helped me out and my extracurriculars and my full time Job. Good luck to everyone else! Don’t lose hope!

@UCIAnteaters Hi, any updates from the grapevine? [-O<

I don’t think personal statements mean much, because if people get shitty grades you’re damn right they will be writing about how their house was destroyed by a hurricane the day after their dog died etc… Could be totally true but think of it from the admission councilors point of view, they must see sob stories every other application. Thats just my opinion of course.

@TransferCS My gpa is 3.65 cumulative. I got into UCSB for CS so far.

I have a friend that got in with a 3.44 GPA I read his essays and they were about 9-10 range some nice ECs upward trend. Also I was admitted stats below.

Electrical Engineering
3.65 UC GPA (bunch of Cs when I was younger and stupid)
3.90 GPA MAJOR
waiting on UCSD UCLA and UCD

i got two C’s and it dropped my gpa to 3.37 smh

For me I deeply talked about how building a GUI at a hackathon was the coolest thing to me back in high school and I was involved in FTC (robotics/ was programmer) and won Inspire Award and had a job. I thought my extracurricular would stand out :confused:

Hey CS majors, what CS courses did you take to fulfill your one year requirement?
I took Java, Python, and the first CS course taught in C++ (course that you need to take other CS courses).

@calbee java I, java II, C++ (my school doesn’t have advanced C++), data structures, and computer organization and assembly language (this one is more of an engineering class, but it was awesome! We wrote our own assemblers, virtual machines and compilers)

I took discrete math, Java(intro/object-oriented), and data structures

Seems like 3pm pacific time was the release on Wednesday, I’d suggest checking around that time again today.

I took C++(intro,object) and Data structures

Thought that would be enough plus my 3.435 GPA

Thanks for the replies everyone.

@Jackter Did you apply for TAG?

Java I, C++ 1, C++ 2, Discrete Math, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations

Preferred Major: Data Science
Alternate Major: Computer Science

GPA when I applied : 3.42
GPA currently: 3.57

Non-TAG

intro to vb (doesn’t count), C++, advanced C++, data structures

I messaged the counselor last night regarding some waitlist questions, and this is what the counselor replied, “We don’t know if we will have a waitlist at the moment.”
Is this normal tho?

Should be any minute now…

WAITLISTED!

Business admin major. Good luck to the rest of you guys
