UC Irvine Fall 2015 Transfer Thread

Uci just tweeted to remind us transfers to check our portals regularly. Just now

@Tristana‌ Now I’m sure the UCs want us to develop an anxiety disorder…

like we weren’t already checking our portals every hour…

@damnImwaiting LOL

this is too much !!! I just want to know it asap

Their twitter says that Freshman decisions will be this month and transfer will be next month.

Did anyone else get a video message from UCI chancellor sent to their email? It’s a private YouTube video and it only had like 450 views is that a sign only the people that got it are borderline, admitted, or rejected? :confused:

No… I didn’t.
but it shouldn’t be an indication of admission status

@xtyphoon Nope, I didn’t get anything. What was it about? Was it just a general ~this is why UCI is awesome~ kind of video? o_o

Yeah it was about the Vice Chancellors journey to Irvine and become an alumni etc.

I got an email from Irvine early this morning,

We are delighted you have applied to UC Irvine!

We are in the process of reviewing applications and would like to give you the opportunity to provide additional information about yourself. This is an optional supplemental component to our review process that may assist our readers in evaluating your application.

If you would like to provide supplemental information, please log on to your account at MyAdmission via www.admissions.uci.edu to access the questionnaire.
The completed supplemental review questionnaire must be submitted by the deadline shown in your MyAdmission account.

An admissions decision for fall 2015 will be posted to your MyAdmission account by the end of March for freshmen applicants, and by the end of April for transfer applicants.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

University of California, Irvine
Office of Admissions and Relations with Schools

Did anyone else receive this email? I now have to write on one of two, or both supplemental essay prompts. So yet again, I have an essay to write, only this time depending solely on the quality of the essay(s), will they make their decision to admit me. Pretty nerve wracking. Any comments or suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks!

you are on a borderline that I can be sure. Try to do your best and get help from the writing center !!! Good luck. Btw, I didn’t receive that particular email

That’s what I’ve seen and heard everywhere else on these forums. Time to blow em out of the water with my words. Thanks boy561.

Good luck jasonb511!
Sorry I’m tardy to the party, but I’ve been freaking out a lot about my admission decision lately so I would appreciate it if you guys would chance me, just to see how I’d fair…

for those of you who got regents from UCI, would you mind posting your stats? I was somewhat hoping to get regents from UCI, since my transferable GPA is 4.0. I also have some good extra-curriculars, and everyone who read my personal statements really loved it. :frowning:

Yep I got that email on March 25th. I’ve been stressing about it too I have until April 2nd to respond. Any tips? Should it be a full out essay or a paragraph or two?

@giraffinyoucrazy‌ im pretty sure only people who BOTH qualified for honors AND regents got their acceptance. If you check UCI’s website, it says regents comes out “early April”, so I think you’re still in good standing :smile:
it also looks like only a few majors have been admitted for regents so far

@xtyphoon‌ congrats! does it include an interview too, or just the essay?

@myneighbortotoro‌ i’m also in the honors program at my school and have completed the program! I saw that on their site but since i knew people were getting offered already, i was getting worried. I hope to hear something soon!! I am a psych major if that makes any difference. I’ve completed IGETC as well as the requirements for the major. the wait is driving me crazy!!!

@jasonb511‌ would you care to post your stats if you haven’t already? I’m a little concerned with the fact that I haven’t received a supplemental questionnaire from any of the UCs.
