General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc:
UCI Need effin change the way they accept people and do it all on the same day. So that way people don't suffer while waiting! RAWR!
Also I'm very excited to go next fall semester (:</p>

<p>Am I the only kid on CC who applied as a Spanish Major? :P</p>

<p>Well, haiku, UCI had 13 freshman Spanish majors this year (compared to 1200 Bio majors), so odds are...</p>

<p>^ Lame, do u know the Drama majors numbers, and the Public health ones too?</p>

<p>If you go here:</p>

<p>UC</a> Irvine Office of Institutional Research</p>

<p>you'll find more numbers that you can shake a stick at (go to the Student Data section).</p>

<p>And my name still isn't Lame.</p>

<p>^ lol</p>

<p>I didn't mean to call u that</p>

<p>Are you actually considering Public Health? I am a public health science major and I was one of few PHS majors....I know only two others and im involved in the Public health club. A lot of the people who become Public Health majors changed after realizing bio was not their cup of tea.</p>

<p>PH policy</p>

<p>yes, cause this year I've spent a lot of time with members or people from the WHO</p>

<p>and I am heavily considering that and epidemiology as a whole.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if im accepted or rejected. I received this from UCI a week ago:</p>

<p>The university may offer you admission in an alternative major, either as noted on your application or another alternative major, if comprehensive review suggests potential for you to succeed in a specific program of study.</p>

<p>All applicants must submit complete and accurate information in their original UC Applications:For freshmen applicants this includes listing all A-G course grades and courses taken for the correct respective terms for admissions consideration by the filing deadline. If freshmen applicants have repeated A-G courses, applicants must report the original and repeat grades for these A-G courses.</p>

<p>If you are admitted, please be aware that your admission is provisional. Information on your application must accurately match official documents submitted on your behalf, including your successful completion of the courses you listed as follows:Freshmen: courses listed for 12th grade (minimum 3.0 weighted GPA for senior year)</p>

<p>You are being considered for the Business Administration major.
- Preferred Major: BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
- Alternate Major: BUSINESS ECONOMICS</p>

<p>My status hasn't been updated since.
Has anyone else gotten this message too?
Does anyone know if it means im accepted?</p>

<p>Has anyone still not heard from UCI? It's the 20th and I'm starting to get a little bothered.</p>

<p>BCG this is the most cryptic message I've read so far...
It is very difficult to understand the meaning of the message you received... "may be" waitlisted.</p>

<p>xavier...im still waiting as well.</p>

<p>lol, after i posted that here, an hour later I received an email from Irvine regarding of my admission status changing. I checked and was rejected. Lol Made me wait to get rejected. God dammit!!</p>

<p>BCG: what are your stats?</p>

<p>Rejected. And shocked.</p>

<p>3.85 UC GPA
SAT: 2080
SATII: 760 MathIIC, 710 BioM
4 APs +3 for senior year</p>

<p>I"m shocked because my friend with a 3.6 GPA and 1730 SAT was accepted.</p>

<p>I guess I'll be going to Santa Barbara...</p>

<p>^ One of my friends got in UCI with a 3.9 GPA, 1410 SAT I, 550 SAT II</p>

<p>I think it has to do with the major!</p>

<p>what was ur major?</p>
