UCI Fall 2019 Transfer Thread

@jbravomed You do not have to wait that long. UCI will come out this week or next week.

So like, I went to Highlander day only to get rejected the next Monday (i.e., TWO DAYS LATER)!

I’m hoping that I find out about Irvine before this Saturday so the same thing doesn’t happen and I get extra salty…lol

Okay guys so I literally just asked UCI admissions on Instagram when we will hear back and that f’ing said end of next week

@Gg1503 oh wow. They tryna flex like a tier 1 UC now I guess.

Me: Hi, I was just wondering if regular applicants will be hearing back this week or next? :slight_smile:

UCI IG: Hi! You should be hearing back by the end of next week! ??

Me: So not the end of this week anymore?..

UCI IG: We’re going to try and get them released by the end of this week but there is a chance they might not go out until the beginning of next. Rest assured we’re trying our best to push them out for you all!

Me: Well thank you guys!
May I ask, what goes into you guys deciding when to release them?

UCI IG: It’s all dependent on internal evaluation and when we receive information from students.

Me: Oh okay, because I know some people are expecting to hear back from UCLA and Berkeley before UCI and they’re getting frustrated. But thank you for answering my questions!

i gotta give it to UCI IG tho. they are super quick and responsive. I’ve messaged @caltransfers and @uclaadmission and they never even responded

Ok just found out they actually replied to me. They told me general admits will hear beginning of next week lol.

@adreezybones Seriously? I don’t get why they need to wait so long - I’m sure they have made a majority of their decisions by now. They should send out a couple of these…

what are they playing at lmao do they usually wait this long to release?? i feel like us general admits shouldve at least heard something by now

So much for “rolling admissions” and Uci has less transfer applicants from last year…

@ameabo UCI has always been one of the first uni’s to release a decision, smh…

Grinding my teeth over this lol. I just wanna know so I can get started with roommate shopping ahhh

@fleets UCI has the most transfer apps it has ever had, that’s why it’s taking so long

@90smix it doesn’t say they had the most tranfer apps. It just says it’s #2 for transfers. They seemed to only have around 19,000 this year and 21,000 last year

@Gg1503 Huh, I heard a bigger # but yeah UCI is getting reallyyyyy popular so I don’t think any decisions will be out 'til next week

@90smix here you go the numbers
20,259 cc transfer for fall 2018 out of 116,192 total applicants
19,306 cc transfers for fall 2019 out of 117,330 total applicants

have any non-tag people heard back yet?

@AeroDE Thanks :slight_smile: WOWWWW UCI is very popular

Update: H2H transfer but still haven’t heard back. Called admissions and they told me to wait till the end of April. Messaged them but no reply yet

I haven’t heard back yet either and I’m a non TAG and non honors applicant.
