UC Irvine Class of 2027 Official Thread

ACCEPTED! w/ Honors Collegium for Biological Sciences

4.31 capped UCGPA (3.97 UW/4.6 W) w/ ELC designation (class rank is about 15/600)

12 APs/5 Honors, no IB

A couple leadership positions, a lot of community service and STEM ECs. Highlights are a bunch of Science Olympiad medals and being chosen to supervise school district’s summer camp. Reported a collective ~200 hours of volunteering.

PIQs were nothing special in my opinion, but very concise and fit the prompt well. I thought that a weakness was that I didn’t really have a wide breadth of ECs/low leadership positions but I guess it all worked out well!

Also: Accepted to Davis with scholarship, waitlisted from UCSD and UCLA
