*UC Irvine Class of 2015 Decisions Thread*

<p>@collegedesparado Yeah, I’m kind of freaking out. Most of my friends already got theirs, and some didn’t. I’m actually surprised because a guy at my school who has a 3.5, and 1800 sat, got in before I did and he has like no ECs. Hmm I’m hoping its random. </p>

<p>I hope we both get in because its not an impacted major! ^_^</p>

<p>Wow, that’s pretty shocking ):. Yeah, hopefully we both get in, and if I get admitted to Irvine and rejected at Davis, I’ll see you at orientation! :P</p>

<p>@ Bluandgold
what are your stats?</p>

<p>I thought they usually send out a big wave on tuesdays… its a tuesday…and I don’t see any notifications =[ I haven’t seen a big wave since my friends got in , and that was like two weeks ago!</p>

<p>@tt6446: was the guy’s gpa (that got admitted) weighted or not weighted? and no one in my school has heard of any notification ever since Feb either… ): this is really freaking me out >A<</p>

<p>Yeah, I believe that the UCI admission officers are purposely creating suspense for those that are still waiting for their decisions. Anyways, my friend told me that about two weeks ago, he received an email saying that he got rejected from UCI; I am uncertain on whether to believe him or not.</p>

<p>@crabbie1234, the friend that was addmitted had a weighted gpa of 3.5, sats is around 1800, very little ecs, but idk how his essay was</p>

<p>So scared… Havent gotten anything yet, :frowning: :frowning:
Does uci even read the essays and take it into consideration? … Or for that matter, any ucs in general?</p>

<p>geez the admissions office lady only told me to check everyday as batches are released everyday randomly…sure doesn’t help!</p>

<p>Anybody get accepted into UCI nursing yet?</p>

<p>Sorry for the late reply. I got in to Irvine with 3.93 UW and 2100 SAT. :)</p>
