UC Irvine Fall 2015 Transfer Thread

@chr1st1 Good morning :slight_smile: Have you heard back?

@Skyles21 @UCI6288 hi, I was the one who called UCI yesterday and they told me that due to the high number of applicants, they will probably be sending out their decisions till Monday of this coming week. It totally sucks because now we have to wait even LONGER to know if we’ve been accepted/rejected/wait list.

Lol @orange2015 no I havent. That’s funny I wanted to message you this morning and ask you the same thing

Can someone call and confirm with UCI today that they are still sending out acceptances?

Waitlisted! Better than rejection
Major: Sociology
GPA:3.19
Applied: UCSD, UCI, UCR, UCSB
Accepted: UCSD, UCR
waitlisted: UCI
Rejected: UCSB
I guess my essay was strong

What I don’t get is why they’re waiting until the last possible moment to release the decisions. I’m under no assumption that they’re not already pretty much done with decisions, save for maybe a couple they’re still going over. Why not just let the decisions they have already made be completely released? It’s not like they’re waiting for one day for everyone like UCB, they’ve been giving out decisions. So what’s the problem with giving out everyone else’s?

Seriously, if anyone has an idea why that I’m overlooking let me know. The logistics of this make zero sense to me.

I was waitlisted at UC Irvine even though I had a TAG so I send the admissions counselor a message about it and received this response.

"If you read the TAG requirements for UCI it does
state: has earned a minimum GPA of 3.4 in all
UC-transferable coursework by the end of the
summer 2015 for fall 2016 admission and will
maintain GPA of 3.4 in all UC-transferable
coursework for all subsequent terms.

You had a 3.00 in your Fall 2014 term and this
made you ineligible for TAG."

I was under the impression that “maintain GPA of 3.4 in all UC-transferable
coursework for all subsequent terms”, meant that my GPA could not fall below 3.4? And not that I had to achieve a minimum 3.4 for every subsequent term. I mean hypothetically if I applied again for TAG next year and didn’t take any more courses I would get in because I had the 3.4 upfront… it just doesn’t make any sense to me, does this seem right?

@arkcount unfortunately this is right. Some of the wording with the TAG agreement is slightly misleading, but if you read it carefully, it is clear. There is still a chance you’ll make it in with the waitlist.

Is it just me or is the myadmissions portal down?

@dannybui9 It’s just you. I can login just fine. Still nothing though. No messages. Nothing,

Mines is fine as well, nothing changed apparently. I honestly don’t want to get my hopes up! I am prepared to get rejected

@taffylaffy My dream school is UCI. I dont wanna get rejected!

@lilpop same here!!! but i just dont want to get hopeful and then get crushed you know?

It is quite likely that today will be either rejections or waitlists :’( :’( :’(

then I am F***ed lol @taffylaffy. I really wanna go to UCI

@lilpop i dont want to say: “dont lose hope” but then… looking at the trends lately, most acceptances already got out. As days pass by it’s just waitlists! Have you heard anyone that got accepted recently? (Like yesterday or today?)

My friends are also waiting for UCI. @taffylaffy

@lilpop I am a sophomore transfer, so it is unlikely I will get in anyways. My friends are waiting as well! But they are all applying as sophomore transfers!

Same here. Damn this is making me having a heart attack.! @taffylaffy

@lilpop you are a sophomore transfer as well?? from a UC? or a CC?

Checked my portal right now and still NOTHING. This is unbelievable.
