Sorry to hear. Great major! I minored in Religious Studies.

While I await my rejection or waitlist, may I just observe, that the “world class” UC system has an parade of absurdly bad websites. UCSC gets first prize, UCD second prize.

Thank you for applying to UCI. After a thorough review of your application, we regret to inform you that we will be unable to offer you admission for the Fall 2023 term.

Within our comprehensive review process, we take great care in the consideration of every application. Admissions officers review each application and carefully balance many factors including but not limited to grades, coursework, honors and awards, work experience, community service, and leadership. We are honored to receive so many applications from such talented students.

Should you believe you have new and compelling evidence to support an appeal of your admission decision, you may choose to submit an Appeal to Selection Decision through your Applicant Portal. You can learn more about the appeal process on our website. Please note that the deadline to submit an appeal is April 15, 2023.

For an appeal to have merit, it must bring to light new academic and personal information, as well as information pertaining to extenuating circumstances that had not been present in the application, and that clearly shows the student to be stronger than had been earlier evidenced. Please note: high grades received in the senior year, recently acquired awards, or an increase in activities are not a basis for the reversal of a decision.

If attending UCI remains your ambition, please consider applying to UCI as a transfer student. For more information about transfer requirements, please visit our transfer admission webpage.

We wish you every success in achieving your educational goals.
