Are you planning to attend?
OH! Also include your geographic location and if you grew up in a poor, middle class, high class family.
Anyone else get the email about discovering the joys of being an Anteater? Why do they tease when everyone is waiting with bated breath for an acceptance?!!
Got the same email. Not sure what that means…
This is probably the most grueling month of my life. I’m so nervous for the letters
I have a 4.25 GPA and 1510 sat. 790 math sat 2. Chances for engineering and for regents?
Did anyone get a financial aid status update? My son did but it just said that they received everything on time… do you think this has anything to do with admission or completely separate?
@JessicaF They are separate, but we are getting close to early admits for Irvine. This is my kiddo’s dream school. So nervous!
@CopperlineX2 good luck! It is really nervewracking!! Do you know when early admits will be notified? From past years it looks like around the 15th?
I got an email telling me how much financial aid I’m getting (I got no money whatsoever lmao) did anyone get a similar email? Does it have to do with admissions or nah
I got the same email. It has nothing to do w/ admissions
regents came out on a mid-February wednesday last year and the year before. It could be tomorrow guys!!!
hopefully! I think it came out at midnight or something because I saw a post at like 2 am from last year on 2/15.
Have they noticed early admits yet??
I don’t think they’ve sent out any admissions decisions yet 
yeah they haven’t sent out anything yet
Got in today with campuswide honors.
Decision: accepted
GPA: 4.41
SAT/ACT Score: 1490
Essays (Good or bad?): average not as good as my other schools
Extracurricular Activities: academic decathlon (acadec) (4 years), founder world scholar’s cup, math club, nhs, internship at court of appeal, volunteer at school guidance office during the summers
Awards: National Hispanic scholar, ap scholar with distinction, acadec 8th place state comp, wsc 4th place regionals
AP classes (and test score): art history, world history, Lang, chem, us (no class but took test), Spanish Lang, macroecon, and calc ab
What made you stand out?: honestly idk. I feel like my test scores are above average but not the very top. My essays were average. I don’t feel my extracurriculars were that great but people always tell me that they are great ( I don’t see it though). I feel like I told UCI why I was a good student though. My essays focused on how I overcame challenges like adhd and still managed to be close to the top of my class. I also said how I really liked history and how that relates to the modern world. I’m also a twin so maybe that helped? She also got in.
Other colleges applied: cal, UCSD, UCD, uc Merced, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Duke, Brown, Swarthmore, Notre Dame
Colleges accepted: none others
Colleges denied/waitlisted:
Are you planning to attend? Maybe depends on other schools
Btw I’m from the LA area and from a upper middle class family.
