UC IRVINE FALL 2020 TRANSFER WAITLIST THREAD

Anyone else super anxious? I really hope they send out waitlist admissions by the end of this month like they did for last year’s transfers.

I’m super anxious! I hope we don’t have to wait much longer. And I really hope enough spots will be available this year to let us in :slight_smile:

I am also anxious lol I hate it. I think they’re almost done with the freshmen waitlist since some were mentioning it on the cc for class of 2024. Last year they started with transfers on the 29 of this month, so I’m hoping it’s still the same and we hear back soon!!

I saw on the c/o 2024 waitlist thread that most of the people who got off the waitlist saw a change in their uci financial aid page before getting their acceptance. I also noticed some transfers on that thread commenting that they also got that request for more documents. I’m so nervous!! What does this mean!!!

I saw that too!! I went to check mine just in case and it just said that my application is complete and all documents were submitted on time which also said under the “status.” and just a note on the top how to send in your tax forms etc that’s all for me tho. Also, they mentioned something about housing, and mine also said “Your financial aid records indicate that your housing plans are: On Campus - Residence Hall” like some of theirs but I just think it says this if you put on campus housing on your financial aid but idk! still crossing my fingers!! i keep checking this page and the freshmen one

Does anyone know why Business majors got admitted off the waitlist really early? Just curious haha

^^^ there must have been room.

Do yall know what their system is when they approve students of the waitlist? Bc I read it’s just “pools” of students but have noticed that they been accepting based on major/college.

That makes a lot of sense now haha thanks!

I’m not completely sure, but I think that each major has it’s own waitlist pool.

Last year UCI released acceptance letters to waitlisted transfers on May 28th. The year before, they sent them out end of June (according to CC threads). I wonder if we’ll get any updates this week. Fingers crossed! Good luck to you all!!!

I forgot to ask in my previous post, has anyone gotten glitches in their applicant portal? The freshmen waitlist and appeal thread mentioned glitches in their portal. I’ve checked my portal almost every day and haven’t gotten a glitch.

Has anyone gotten in as a CS major through the waitlist

Not yet, sadly :confused: I looked at some waitlist threads from previous years and CS is known to always be full at UCI. Hopefully us CS majors don’t get screwed this year.

I haven’t gotten that glitch either. I wonder if it means anything haha

Hoping there is a wave tomorrow!!! I peeped via twitter that last year ppl were getting accepted may 29!!! ??

Same!!! My friend was just admitted off of UCLA’s waitlist. She’s a transfer from a UC. I’m assuming the UCs are slowing admitting off the waitlist. Hopefully we hear back soon!

I am also on UCLA’s waitlist. Would you please be able to tell me what her major is?

@JerryMZ191 I believe she applied for a life science major. She’s a transfer from UCR and was majoring in bio there. I’m not sure if that helps or not.

Any updates? Hopefully we hear back after Monday (SIR deadline)!!!
