@BIMguy I was accepted to a few other UCs but UCI is my first choice since it’s close to home. Plus, its a really nice campus, I like how everything is centrally located (on campus), lots of shade, and it has a good reputation in the community (other than that flag fiasco last year lol).
@Ecain17 That is great and a valuable addition to your resume. And wow did anything change drastically in your GPA over that time? In a release by UCI from last year’s admissions, 9 out of 10 students got in for CS&E… my brother got admitted for that major this year. He will be going to UCD because it will take him 3 years instead of 2 to graduate at UCI, I hope that you knew that. Well I don’t want to scare you, but from my college in NorCal (where my brother took his classes too), some of his CS classes did not articulate so he will have to take them again at UCI, which means another 2 quarters and he did not want to waste that much time.
@Eterion I agree with everything you said, UCI definitely has one of the better campuses! Will you SIR to any other school?
@BIMguy My gpa actually went up slightly since I applied last year lol. I got waitlisted for UCD as well :/. I got accepted to CPP, but I didn’t take speech so it would get rescinded if I got accepted. That’s why I hope I get accepted off the waitlist from one of the 3 UC’s that waitlisted me or else it’s UCR for me.

I’m about a year away realistically but without financial aid left at the 2 year level, I’m trying to make the jump.
Is anyone (who was accepted to UCI) able to look at their financial aid award offer? I’m not going, I already declined and SIR’d to Davis, but they keep my offer on the table till June. Was just curious what they were going to offer me.
@boxandwhiskers This is the wait list thread so I don’t think anyone here as been admitted to UCI, you may want to post your question in the actual transfer thread or an admitted students thread.
@Ecain17 :)) woah, whoops.
@Ecain17 that is really weird! Lol I hope you do too man, good luck!
@BIMguy thanks you too.
I just wish I knew already. Since my major has an acceptance rate of 15%, I doubt I will get accepted off the waitlist. :((
@BIMguy Where will you transfer if you don’t get into UCI?
@Ecain17 I am 19 and in my second year… I have SIR’d to UCSC but I don’t really want to go there, I am submitting my spring grades to USC and then I will get a decision in mid-June (it’s tie with UCI in terms of preference) so that’s in the air. I will just end up staying another year if neither one works out. The reason is because I changed my major in my second year so I can still finish approved courses and bring my GPA into the 3.8s and be more competitive next year. Did you SIR to UCR already?
“UCI Admissions is processing the last waitlisted admits, which are very few. We wish you the very best on being accepted, but please keep other options open, or, reapply for Fall 2017.”
from UC Irvine Admissions Facebook page
@dondon123 - I saw that too, but I’m thinking that’s for freshman waitlisters since the SIR deadline for Freshman admits was May 1st. Transfer SIR deadline isn’t until June 1st. Have you called and verified?
@BIMguy yea I already submitted my SIR for UCR. It looks like the chances are slim for UCI according to the Admissions Facebook post. I’m still waiting on UCSD or UCD then.
@Ecain17 I assume that is for freshman. Not transfers.
@nissincupnoodle I hope so.
Just got accepted off the waitlist!!
I checked the portal like an hour ago and found out this.
