***UC Irvine Class of 2022 Applicants***

@Tangledfan did you get financial aid or was it denied? My D got the email on Feb 9th but the financial aid was denied. Is this still a good sign?

My financial aid was denied

Mine just says: Received- On time. What does that mean? Did I get it, or I still haven’t received my status yet, but they know I have applied for financial aid?

@picklesdelite It means that they received your FAFSA on time, so they know you applied for it.

Did anyone who was accepted already receive their official acceptance letter or their financial aid?

@person2000 not yet

Why are some financial aid being denied?

@Tangledfan: What is your EFC? Did you run the Net Price Calculator for UCI to see of your cost estimates?

Am I the only one who clicks on the link to the UCI portal and it tells be that it can’t reach this page??

Mine is still up and working fine. Try this link: https://services.admissions.uci.edu:8443/cgi-bin/myadmission.cgi

@03miata if you are vpn’d in another server for anything you probably have a firewall issue. I know I do.

@ssaeed @Bean981 Thanks !!!

I just called the UCI admission, admission notification will be sent via email between mid to end of the March with “Your Admission Status has been updated, please check in your UCI portal for details”. Hope this information helps everyone still waiting

I called them too and they just said throughout march… Didn’t the offical UC site say Irvine will come out early march? Confused and frustrated

I can say from 3 years ago my daughter didnt hear from UCI until the end of March. That was the last school she heard from and got in (it was a reach school for her). She is there now so sit back and watch the show! It will be a long 24 days to go until they are done with all!

In prior recent years they have started to send notices on the portal about mid March and rolling throughout. Similar to this year they sent notices to Honors (CHP) and Regents early and nothing much more until mid March. And they haven’t in the past notified everyone at once - it has rolled for a few weeks with acceptances, then waitlists, rejections

I m really scared of this… UIUC denied, apparently it seems Purdue will deny… I really hope I get into it…
Could you guys tell me chances
SAT: 1390
GPA: 4.2/5
Essays: ok-ish

No AP’s
No SAT Subjects
Not good profile except few volunteering and organising… That’s it…
Yup, and one more thing… int’l freshman applicant…

@Gumbymom my parents income is high

@Tangledfan: If your parents income is high and your EFC is high meaning over $30,000, then you will get no financial aid. You can however take out the Federal student loan amounts of $5500 Freshman year, $6500 Sophomore year, $7500 Junior and Senior year.

My husband and I are full pay for both son’s since we have a high income and our EFC is greater than the costs of a UC or Cal state.

Does anyone know how competitive UCI Business Economics is? I’m worried I’ll be rejected from my first choice major which is Business Administration, but if I can’t get that I’m hoping for at least Business Economics
