<p>Hey guys, I'm new to this but I have a question. I recently got contacted by UC Irvine's admissions office and they sent me an email like this:</p>
<p>"We are delighted that you have applied to UC Irvine!</p>
<p>We are in the process of reviewing applications and would like to give you
the opportunity to provide additional information about yourself. This is
an optional supplemental component to our review process that may assist
our readers in evaluating your application.</p>
<p>If you would like to provide supplemental information, please log on to
your account at MyAdmissionsApplication@UCI via UCI</a> Office of Admissions & Relations with Schools
to access the questionnaire. The completed supplemental review
questionnaire must be submitted by the deadline shown in your
MyAdmissionsApplication@UCI account.</p>
<p>An admissions decision for fall 2012 will be posted to your
MyAdmissionsApplication@UCI account by the end of March for freshmen
applicants, and sometime in May for transfer applicants.</p>
<p>We look forward to hearing from you.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>University of California, Irvine
Office of Admissions and Relations with Schools"</p>

<p>I was just wondering what this means? Does it mean that I'm borderline to becoming denied? I'm going to fill it out, but that prompts another question as well - is there a word count limit?</p>
<p>Please respond, I need to know ASAP!
Thanks everyone!</p>
<p>You are a borderline applicant, cam be either rejected or accepted but I believe if you fill it out, you are more likely to get in than not doing it at all. It’s optional anyway but when did you receive it? because for me I feel like it’s pretty late that they just sent it to you in the beginning of March. For LA or Berk, people got supplemental request in Late Jan or Beg of Feb. Be sure to check the deadline and if you log on, then you will know the deadline and the limit of words</p>
<p>I haven’t really checked the admissions website, but I just recently got the email on March 1st, 2 days ago notifying me about the supplemental essay. The deadline is on March 6th, so that is confusing as well because the notification is such short notice. It doesn’t say anything about a word limit though. Ahhh, thanks you anyways!</p>
<p>I think Irvine just sent the supplementals out later than UCLA and Berkeley. My son received a supplemental from all three schools. He received the email from UCLA on Jan. 30th, from Berkeley on Jan. 18th and he just recieved the supplemental from Irvine on March 2nd.</p>
@stupidquestions I know I’m about 3 years too late in this thread but if you are still around, I’d love to hear if you got into UCI. I too have received a request for supplemental information. Hope everything worked out for you!
