UC IRVINE FALL 2020 TRANSFER WAITLIST THREAD

For y’all who want to transfer to UCI, but are on the waitlist :slight_smile:

I’m a computer science major transferring from a community college. UC Irvine is my dream school and I got on the waitlist yesterday. For now, I’ll be attending Cal Poly Pomona and go through the admissions process there as I wait to hear back from UCI. Fingers crossed that there will be spots open at UCI !

Psychology major also transferring from a California community college! Waitlisted on Monday 04/20. As of now, I plan to commit to UC Riverside until we hear back!

I’ve already seen others saying they’ll be turning down UCI for their school of choice, so there’s bound to be some spots eventually : ) positive mindset woohoooo

Major: Computer Science (Non Tag, Non Honors)

I’m a psychological science major transferring from a CCC in the fall. Was waitlisted last Monday and I plan to commit to UCR (Sociology) for now. I was talking to a counselor at my school and she was told that UCI would be accepting more people on the waitlist this year due to Covid-19.

I’m a political science major transferring from a CC! I got waitlisted on 4/22 and as of right now, I am committed to Cal State Long Beach for now until I get a response. I hope that I’ll get in!

Social policy and public service major
Waitlisted 04/20
Transfer from UC Riverside

Praying I get admitted! Good luck to you all!!!

I’m a business major transferring from CCC. I got waitlisted 4/20 and will be committing to UCSB unless I get off the waitlist for UCI. Hope we all get in guys!

hi yall! ive been super anxious about waiting to get off the waitlist, UCI has been my lowkey dream school since middle school lol and haven’t SIR to any school yet with the hopes of hearing back soon! but if I do SIR it will be to UCR. Anyways I got waitlisted 4/20. I’m a sociology major, transferring from a CC. praying we all get admitted, good luck!!

Hey everyone! I’m an intercampus transfer from UCSC, I committed to UCR for now but still waiting to see if I get off the waitlist at UCI or UCLA. I applied for biological sciences at UCI and physiological science at LA. Hoping we hear back within the next months!

CC transfer here. Waitlisted for business admin on 4/20. Got an email yesterday telling me to SIR, but when I checked the portal nothing new showed up. Checked again today and I was accepted. 3.63 GPA at the time I applied. Finally a school choice I’m excited about :smile:

Just got an email today at 4:20PM saying my application was updated and I checked the portal to see that I was accepted for Business Admin! Hope everyone else gets in as well!!

I just wonder, did anyone who got off the waitlist already opt-in?

Welcome everyone! I’ve heard that plenty of freshman applicants got off the wait list and were admitted recently. I hope the same goes for us transfer students next month! Good luck everyone!

Hi! Thank you so much for mentioning this thread on the Fall 2020 transfer thread! I really hope we get in! :slight_smile:

Congratulations! So excited for you! :slight_smile:

Congratulations!! ??

Let’s say I accept an offer on May 29th from another UC and UCI accepts me late June. Would I still be able to go to UCI or am I forced to go to another UC?

@ChipsSs yes you can decline your SIR at the UC that u got into and then accept UCI’s offer
