@IWannaMakeDrugs My stats suck. But I do have the advantage of a medical hardship and previous ccc gpa of like 2.6 that i’ve brought to an overall 3.20. If the semester would end right now! Keep in mind the supplemental questionnaire is only given out to a small percentage of students. They want to know in more detail about my hardship, and how I’ve overcome it. And for @xtyphoon, i wrote a full on story lol. 1800 words. Was necessary. A lot of background information, and how I’ve overcome my situation. They said the wanted details… Good luck to all! I really hope to see you guys next fall. (If I dont get into UCD:)

@myneighbortotoro I was a bit disappointing when I thought regents scholarships had already been giving out, but you’ve renewed my hope at the tiniest chance of me getting it! I knew I wasn’t getting honors because my cc isn’t part of the participating colleges, but I was disappointing at the thought of not getting regents.
@jasonb511 my stats are about the same so I expected the questionnaire. I guess its only a few more weeks until we all know for sure. I had a 2.2 GPA from my last CC. I retook some classes to replace D’s and got it up hopefully enough to get into UCI or UCSD.

They just sent me the supplemental questionnaire and asked me to answer theessay questions (optional).
@Platocrat Were your essay promts these?
A. ESSAY RESPONSE #1
In your application you may have mentioned an extraordinary talent/skill or academic achievement. This may include participation in Junior Olympics, national debate competitions, recognition for musical talent, etc. Please take this opportunity to share with us more detailed information about the level of your achievement, depth of participation, and passion for this particular area.
B. ESSAY RESPONSE #2
Please describe any special circumstances that you would like us to consider that may have affected your ability to achieve academically. This may include personal circumstances, family experiences, and opportunities that were or were not available at your school or home. If you participated in an educational preparation program (i.e., MESA, Puente, CC Honors Program, U-Link, etc.) please describe your level of involvement and how each program was beneficial to you.
@jasonb511 I received that as well.
@jasonb511 Yeah, I got exactly those two prompts
Does rolling basis mean at random, and not following batches?
The day is approaching. Finally!!
I wonder what the exact date is >.< Sort of hoping that UCSD and UCI upload on the same day. Want to get this over with /sobs
Well April 7th was the date last year so if that’s any indicator you should keep a look on your myadmissions definitely!
@StoneTower Unless i was reading the wrong thread, i saw that most people were getting their decisions on the 18th.
@csayala93 I must have been reading the wrong thread too because I saw no acceptances on the 7th last year…
@csayala03 and @kmariel I think I remember reading a person saying that in the other UC Irvine transfer thread in the UC Irvine board. This person could have been wrong, but I’m far too lazy to go looking for another thread that was posted in last year. I was just hopefully taking this person’s word.
Anybody get their aid package yet? My “portal” updated yesterday with new tabs. One of these tabs is the “My Aid Award” and it has the following message…
Your file is complete and we are expecting to begin awarding financial aid in early May. You will receive notification from us once your award information is available.
UCI is being absolutely ridiculous if they are really waiting until May to release aid packages.
As long as they release their decisions before April 19th so I can at least know I don’t have to accept stuff from UCR ^^; I really don’t mind. Mine says the same thing though. It seems like awhile to wait, but w/e.
