<p>If you got rejected from the school of your choice would you go on forums posting that you were rejected?</p>

<p>Check the Ivy League forums.</p>

<p>The answer, for many CCers, is yes.</p>

<p>somead896:
i think the main purpose of this forum is to share to information, not brag about where they go or where they got in...</p>

<p>so id say yes...</p>

<p>I'd say yes too.</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted</p>

General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc:
Still don't know whether i should go to UCI or UCD</p>

<p>Has anyone been accepted to the business administration major for uci yet? I haven't heard anything and i'm kinda worried! How do you think this b.a. major compares to berkeley's or riverside's b.a. major? since business administration is a b.a. instead of a b.s. degree, does that mean that it is not as good as riverside's or berkeley's?</p>

<p>I have a question for those who have been accepted. Could you guys tell me what the timestamp was on the UCI Status change email?</p>

<p>I got an e-mail saying my status was changed on March 9th, at 3 AM.</p>

<p>Mine read Sunday, March 09, 2008 3:16 AM</p>

<p>looks like the first wave was all acceptances. I havent even heard of anyone at my school getting rejected from UCI... YET? I think acceptance letters go out first</p>

<p>someone from my school got rejected already. yesterday</p>

<p>Decision: Accepted! (Yay!)</p>

Congrats to everyone who got in! I</code>m really happy I got in--this was my #2! :) I think I<code>m going to be attending UCI if I don</code>t get into USC (I
m still crossing my fingers!). One question, though, I was accepted as an "Asian American Studies" major when I applied "Undeclared". Is there ANY way I can switch to "Premed" if I attend? Thanks!
And to all of you who are still waiting, GOOD LUCK! :) :)</p>
