<p>@DareToZlatan Congrats on the acceptance! When were you notified?</p>
<p>@DareToZlatan congrats! :)</p>
<p>AHHH MORE DECISIONS NEED TO COME OUT!</p>
<p>IKRRRRr</p>
<p>From what I can gather from Irvine’s twitter page they’re placing a heavy emphasis on the e-mails. If you got an e-mail keep checking the portal but if not you should really just carry on with your day and wait for the next batch.</p>
<p>If i didnt answer the supplement, will that hurt me?</p>
<p>Frustrating doesn’t even begin to describe it…</p>
<p>I guess I will wait tomorrow </p>
<p>@visvim Thanks!! I received an email at 3:32 am from the admissions saying that my application status had changed, so I checked the portal when I got home from school and it said I was admitted. Have you gotten accepted yet? Is UCI among your top choices? </p>

<p>@DareToZlatan I haven’t received a decision yet :\ and yes, UCI is my #1 choice</p>
<p>if I don’t get decision by tomorrow, it might mean I got rejected ahhh </p>
<p>@Steponme111</p>
<p>:( i really hope that’s not the case. i hope they’ll continue to accept/reject til the last day at least.</p>
<p>Has anyone been rejected yet? All of my friends got accepted last week and I have yet to see a decision :(</p>
<p>Ok going by what it said on the UCI Admissions twitter page…they’re going until the end of March o__o I don’t think I can take this anymore. It feels like they’re releasing like 3 decisions a day or something. Even some of the people at my school are getting super restless.</p>
<p>@visvim no i didnt. i applied for aerospace engineering initially.</p>
