Official UCI Fall 2016 Transfer Waitlist Thread

@bangarangbrian Woops thought this was the UCD thread. I didn’t make an appeal and was accepted off the waitlist.

@uctransfer16 what major?

@bangarangbrian History.

anyone else here still waiting like me? the anxiety is killing me! seems like a lot got off already

@bangarangbrian I am waiting as well. I received my financial aid package from USC and it’s going to be really tough to make that work so I’m hoping UCI works out…

What are you stats?

Major: computer science
GPA: 3.2
Pre-Reqs: all completed
IGETC: completed
EC: CS club, competed in NASA Swarmathon comp, hackathon comps

@@bangarangbrian
Still waiting

Major: software engineer/CS

So based off the people still waiting, it looks like the ICS majors are the ones still pending. Hopefully we are the next wave fingers crossed

@uctransfer16 grats man i remember u from the old thread. im stilling waiting on mine tho. hopefully soon

@lugi350 yea you’re right. Most mathematical stem majors have to take cs classes and you could also minor in cs with math as a major.

ACCEPTED to Irvine still can’t believe it feels like a dream lol on 5/26!!! Really thought I was going to get rejected since UCLA rejected me lol

Major: Gender Studies
UC-Transferable GPA: 2.89 (with 5 honor classes maybe that helped didn’t TAG)
IGETC: complete
Prereq’s: Everything
EC’s: Honor classes, PreMed/Health Club
PS: Honestly, I believe this is why I was accepted! Strong personal statement lol! Pretty much connected the career that I plan to go into Physician assistant with gender studies! Also got it checked by UCI advisors that came to my community college. 8.5/10
Accepted: Cal Poly Pomona, UCR, UCI
Waitlisted: Only UCI but not anymore yay
Rejected: UCLA

I know I have a low GPA and feel very blessed for getting accepted but it’s also because my major isn’t as competitive! I hope those still on the waitlist get in! Best of luck!

@chelsterzzz well deserved, congrats!

Is there anyone still waiting? or is that it?

@dondon123 im still waiting. looks like a lot of CS and engineering majors are all still waiting. I read from the freshmen waitlist thread that they were just getting their acceptances/denials this past week. So i dunno what that means for us

@bangarangbrian did any freshman get accepted in the last week?

@BIMguy a few. Most CS majors got rejected though. I hope it’s different for us. Still staying positive. http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-irvine/1887697-uci-class-of-2020-waitlist-p10.html

@bangarangbrian Thanks for that. Yeah I will most likely end up going to UCSC. haha

@BIMguy dude same. UCSC is where I SIRed to but UCI is my #1 choice. Banking on going to UCSC for now. Are you gonna do that Engineering Transfer Transition Program before orientation?

@bangarangbrian Yes same but honestly, from what I have heard at Intel so far… it is better to be the best at a lower-ranking school than be a top 50/100 student at a higher-ranking school (pretty much everyone saying that rankings are BS and useless). I won’t be able to take part in that program since I am currently interning at Intel until September, it will be a struggle to attend the orientation haha. Will you keep me updated? And do you have any friends that are going to UCSC?

@bangarangbrian I appealed and got off the waitlist for electrical engineering. I got off on May 28th. I am not sure if I got in because of the appeal or just getting off the waitlist and there is no way of finding out.
