***UC Irvine Class of 2019 Admissions Results/Stats Discussion***

Accepted to undeclared first choice was nursing 1720 SAT 4.23 W GPA 3.88 UW 100+ hours volunteering at UCLA Ronald Reagen Medical Center saw people with similar stats get in bummmed

Im really pissed right now cause ppl with way lower stats have gotten in but i have no decision

@fizzy110‌ I’m overseas as well and I really hope they release them soon because I am reallyyy nervous

The worst part is that im instate and have no decision

My daughter just got accepted into biological sciences!!!
4.4 uc gpa
3.8 uw (i think)
ACT 25 (low, but only took it once)
did not bother taking SAT
also accepted into ucr, cpp, csusb, and csuf…
did not apply anywhere else…
yes, i am a proud mommy!!!

@Yamseverywhere,there have been a real range of high/low stat acceptances so far, so i doubt it means anything. Plus UCs are known to be extremely holistic!

Just checked my D’s portal and she was admitted Chemical Engineering

4.2 UC GPA
3.8 UW
ACT 33
SAT II Math 2 - 760, Chem 760
ECs - average
Essays - this unbiased mom thought they were pretty good…
Also accepted UCSB, UCSD (though neither for her first choice major), UCSC, Cal Poly Pomona
Rejected - Cal Poly SLO

@Yamseverywhere‌
Stay cool, man.
No decision yet doesn’t mean a reject yet, in-state decisions are still being rolled out and the only decisions aren’t all acceptances! There are plenty of rejects too! You probably don’t see many rejects here because once a person gets rejected he/she’s for more obvious reasons won’t post them here.

So if you get your decision late, you’re still as likely to get an acceptance.

@Yamseverywhere‌ I am in state as well and I know its difficult to deal with, but stay positive and please don’t worry, our decisions are coming out in the near future ^^

@imjennah‌ @AiiGee‌ Thanks guys. I just felt like venting some frustration

No problem, can’t lie and say none of us are anxious/ frustrated ^^

Btw, I got my score yesterday.

@Schrodonger what why didn’t you want to get accepted? congrats!

@Schrodonger‌ they see your strong personality ^^ truly, congrats!!

@Schrndonger “I know I’m better than most colleges in the world”

I want to give you the benefit of the doubt but I think you’re t r o l l ing

@Schrodonger‌ You must be a t r o l l! =D>

@imjennah‌ Yeah I’m not even gonna go there though. I don’t wanna go there.
@fizzy110‌ No I didn’t actually say “I know I’m better than most colleges in the world” in my essay, but tbh that’s what I feel like. Maybe not the world, but UCs for sure. I really don’t want to go to a UC school because it’s just not interesting to me. I wanna get into Stanford or something, but I know that’s a dream haha

I did say that I feel liek I didn’t really care about being admitted though

Decent t roll.

5/10

Would of been perfect if it wasn’t for your description of your essay and your whole “I wanted to be rejected” mood… those gave it away too easily.

You need to be ‘realistic’ while providing ridiculous stats.
