UCI Fall 2015 Transfer Thread

Didn’t see a transfer thread so I decided to make one. Currently a Business Administration transfer student that’s waiting on responses from schools for acceptance. Just want to see the stats of others applying for UCI as well. I applied to all UCs except Merced and Santa Cruz. Also applied to Cal Poly SLO, SDSU, UW, SCU, UO, and Cornell.

Major: Business Administration
GPA: 3.53
IGETC: Complete
Major Courses: Completed all except for Calculus 3

I know the business admin major at UCI is currently impact, but was wondering is there any chance of me getting in? Also did anyone get accepted for their tag yet? Thanks. Best of luck to all!

Anyone get a letter from UCI talking about receiving financial aid information and to check MyAid link in MyApplication? Is this something? Or maybe I’m just too excited lol!!!

Also, do you guys happen to know when in March they’ll be sending out admissions notices? Also, where shall we check, the portal or email? :open_mouth: Thanks!

Hey everybody, I think ya’ll should read this… Why UC Admissions may lag with applications:

I thought the admission decisions aren’t sent out for transfers until April?

In the past, some early admission decisions were released during the first or second week of March. Lots of those people were CHP or Regents recipients though. Either way, the wait is killer lol

Good luck to everyone!

Can’t even see if my application is pending or not on the UCI ZotPortal. Is everyone else’s portal also blank and says customize this page?

EDIT
Nvm, didn’t know they’ll send you an email if you’ve been admitted or not.

The wait is killing me holy crap x_x; Has anyone got anything yet?

Nope… :confused: Only got an email from them saying they received my financial aid. :frowning:

Hey guys transfer student from last year, just thought I’d say last year we received our admissions around 4-15-14 iirc. It may be delayed some this year. I chose UCI over UC Berkeley and have no regrets, amazing school.

You decided to go to UCI over UC Berkeley!!! Why would you do that??? Why???

i got accepted today!
