UCI FALL 2018 Transfer Waitlist

But they also had the issue of over admitting students last year. So I don’t think they will release before the SIR deadline this year.

I called them today, and the girl at the admissions office told me that they won’t start even looking at waitlist students until after the June 1st SIR date. She said it’s a pool of applicants who are they essentially reselected for admissions. This is going to take so long! What would you guys recommend? Just focusing on another school now?

@Hopeful14567 Always!!! Just focus on selecting a school that’s already accepted you. In fact, I’d go as far as to say pretend like your waitlist at UCI is like a rejection. Keep it in the back of your mind but just focus elsewhere. Don’t miss deadline praying and hoping for what ifs from UCI. That’s what im doing and when or if UCI decides to add from waitlist and IF im one of the people selected, then I’ll evaluate my options then. :smiley:

Good luck :3

@OhHeyThere69
That’s awesome advice! It helps to not get your hopes up. Where else did you get in for CS? What was your GPA?

@Hopeful14567 I didn’t get in anywhere for CS!! :smiley: I applied to 5 CSUs, 5 UCs and like 2 privates. I got accepted at UCSB for mathematical sciences. It’s not bad though. I’m a non-traditional student (25) and still had a solid upward trend. 121 units completed w/ IGETC. GPA is a 3.3 but Ive gotten As in all my CS classes. Probably got denied because I haven’t finished physics series… oh well haha. I got accepted to UCSC but because my college didn’t “officially articulate” one of the CS classes, they told me “sorry bruh. we like you. We’ll admit you to ANY non-impacted major you want. But ya dun goofed on the prereqs for CS.” and my appeal didn’t work either. How bout you? What schools did you get into? :open_mouth:

So I applied as an Informatics or Cog Sci major to UCR, UCI and UCSD. Only got in to UCR, so I’m hoping UCI comes through! UCSC is legit! I’m sure you’ll have fun, and you can minor in CS so it’ll look good on job applications.

I heard someone from IVC got off waitlist

@citrusexact I heard the waitlist just closed so does that mean all spots filled up?

@collegedreamer167 Who you hear that from? I doubt it’s already closed. It ain’t even june 1st yet! xD

Also, congrats on UCR! I’ve heard good things about it (aside from surrounding location lol) What major did you get accepted for? :0

I actually decided to turn down Santa Cruz. I’d rather do applied math for a bs at santa barbara that theoretical math at santa cruz for a ba. lol :smiley: plus its closer to home and I have doggos. lol But I did consider trying to minor in CS. Sadly, that isn’t an option at any UC that I’ve seen so far. bahahaha

@OhHeyThere69 look on the UCI waitlist 2022 college confidential thread. They all were saying it recently closed. Also I didn’t get into UCR. I SIR to UCSC

@collegedreamer167: The UCI Freshman waitlist has closed but not for transfers yet.

waitlist 2022 is for freshmen, transfer waitlist should not be closed

@collegedreamer167 oops! my bad… I meant to tag @Hopeful14567 lol But yeah freshman have to SIR a month earlier than we do on May 1st dont they?

Ohh okay! Sorry for the confusion!

@CitrusExtract know anything else about this ivc waitlist acceptance?

The IVC Acceptance is interesting, because they told me that they would start coming out after June 1st.

No, i was surprised bc I didn’t think that the acceptance should be come out before June 1st, but my uci friend asked that person, and she said she got accepted from the waitlist, so i don’t really know either

Just as a quick poll:
How many of you guys appealed the admission decision? What was the basis of you appeal?

So I called them today, and they said that acceptances from the waitlist have started coming out, and will go all the way to August 1. Honestly, that is total B.S.

@Hopeful14567 i didn’t appeal. Nothing new to base it on really. But why is it bs to start accepting waitlisted students now? Id hope that even though the SIR deadline is june 1, student would be proactive enough to have already made a decision by now. Lol in my eyes, the june 1 deadline is to simply purge the stragglers and cement their numbers lol
