UC Irvine Fall 2015 Transfer Thread

@transferee i’m still waiting :frowning:

Raging hard at this school. The deadline for CSUs is in a couple days and I’m waiting for a response. Their lucky people are even considering them after the American flag fiasco

What was the american flag fiasco?

and the gunman on campus thing…

Anyone know when they’ll send us a financial aid estimate?

Early may

Im freaking out because I havent gotten anything yet and I am a bio major @_@

Pending (and killing me)
Major: Public Health Science
GPA: 3.4
No TAG
Prerequisites: only missing O chem series
EC: president of student government and international club, emt for 5+ years tutor for math, english, and a few science classes
Rejected: UCLA, UCB, UCSD
Accepted: UCSB, UCD, UCR, and a few CSUs
Pending: UCI
Honestly, UCI is the only school I want to go to, I really like the public health science degree with emphasis in health informatics and UCI is the only school to offer it. I have been going crazy all week and the fact that I am still pending is making me lose it.

I applied as a biological sciences major, but I don’t have the ochem series. Is it automatic rejection for me??

Stats:
major: biology
Gpa: 3.2
Igetc: yes
Tag: no
Prereqs: missing ochem
Applied: ucsb, ucd, uci, and ucsc
Accepted: ucsb, ucd, ucsc
Pending: uci

@jazzdancer95
GPA: 3.67
Tag: yes
IGETC: yes
Prereqs: will be done by the end of this semester

hopefully we will both hear from uci soon!

Accepted on Friday 24th, checked about 8PM.

Major: English, (creative writing emphasis) Accepted as a senior, since I’ll have 100+ units by end of Spring, due to university, AP classes, etc…
GPA: 3.45 upon application, 3.49 after first semester
Prereqs: Done, American Lit in progress
Tap: No (university transfer)
IGETC: Technically no, though all IGETC classes would be completed if you considered my university courses
Extracurriculars: Tons of writing experience, including internships and employment, along with humanitarian rights clubs, activism, etc
Essays: I didn’t think they were good, but I had them checked and okayed by 5+ people, including two official readers. I’m a natural writer, so essays are usually my shining point (though maybe not this time.)
Other: lots of financial hardships, went to a high-ranked but homophobic private university and left for political reasons
Rejected: UCLA, UCSB, UCB
Accepted: UCSD, UCI
Pending: USC

I’ll be proud to call myself an anteater provided things don’t pan out with USC. :slight_smile: You all have been great. Godspeed.

Does anyone know if Psych and Social Behavior is a impacted major? Thanks!

hey so I’m not TAG and I’m still waiting just like a whole lot of you. I am transferring into UCI as a Junior. What are my chances of getting in? And PLEASE, how do you find out if you got accepted, will you get an email and it’ll explain where to look???
Major: double Criminology/Psychology
GPA: 3.45
IGETC: done
*i have 2 Associate’s degrees if that helps.
If anyone could help me answer those 2 questions, I would be absolutely grateful!! Thank you.

@transfereee Ah, same here! I thought the decision would be rather easy but I feel rather happy that I’m in the position to have to choose between a few good schools though it’s giving me a headache!
UCI is awesome too! I’ll be visiting all three schools. Might meet you there :stuck_out_tongue:
@ultraattitude I don’t think so at all! I didn’t complete my ochem series either.

@MAL0812 you will need to login to your portal to see if you’ve been accepted. The email usually comes the day after.

@csayala93 I’ve been logging in everyday, twice a day since the beginning of April and I still don’t see anything new. Would it be under message center? Because that’s blank too. Thanks for the response!!:slight_smile:

@MAL0812 Same here! I’m not TAG and I’m still waiting. Also, I am criminology major.

I also would like to know anyone who applied to the biological sciences or ecology and evolutionary biology got accepted without finishing organic chemistry.

Because I was worried if I didn’t get into any biology sections that I changed my major from ecology and evolutionary biology to psychology and social behavior this Wednesday (I only tooked two psychology classes so far). And was accepted to that major this Friday.
Only reason I did that was when I message the admission of me not completing the organic series (I only need ochem 2) would my application still be considered.
The only thing the admission replied back with was that since I didn’t complete the organic series I was not eligible for ANY biology majors. I was about to cry when I read that…because I thought that it was only given priority to those who have according to assist. But the admission still said the same thing.

I wouldn’t worry much I think, I don’t think it would be an automatic rejection if you don’t complete it. I would also call to make sure. Sorry, I don’t won’t to give wrong information. I’m just sharing what I was told. :frowning: I hope there is still space.

Also, I was wondering how popular is ecology and evolutionary biology at UCI?

@WinterRose I got scared so I just did the same thing as you and changed to psychology. Hopefully I get accepted into that major as well…

@MAL0812 When you get admitted there will be a large blue banner on your Zot Portal that says “You’ve been admitted” :slight_smile:
