***UCI Freshman 2019 Waitlist Thread*** Stats, information and discussion

Thanks @4everpraying for the update!

@4everpraying they said that about admisssions too but admissions had a CLEAR pattern

We have had no info yet re and we did appeal. We were told that her meeting with the perf. arts faculty and obtaining their recommendation would not influence outcome. Daughter SIRed to UCSC which was not 1st choice, but just got off waitlist of excellent out of state private. UCI would still be preferred for proximity and cost. This is so frustrating not to hear any news.

I just called to the admission office. The guy answered said the appeal is 4-6 weeks from the submission time. The waitlist notification can be up to end of July. My D submitted an appeal mid- April to get off the waitlist. I am glad she submitted at least we will find out by end of May or early June. I will update if she gets off waitlist or deny.

@Gumbymom What do you do about sending transcripts to your school of attendance. I know they are not due until July but our high school orders them this week. My son sent his SIR to UCSC but is still waiting on UCI. Should he still send one to both schools even though he has only been accepted to one? this way it will be there in the event he gets in or will that cause too much confusion since they are both UC schools?

@TwoforT: I would just have them sent to both schools to be on the safe side. If UCI does not become on option later, the transcripts will be discarded.

Ok thank you @Gumbymom

anyone else got off the waitlist? We are patiently waiting

DD is waiting too… ? in state for Business

We’re still waiting too

Nothing here either. Talked to admissions again the other day not sure about waitlist but appeals taking 6-8 weeks. This is my son’s 6th week (7th on Monday) and we are still waiting. Eerily quiet I would say.

We appealed on 04/14. 7th week starts on Monday. Frustating

We appealed the waitlist too. Sent it in on 4/2

@4everpraying can you appeal a wait list?

@Nonomom yes, UCI is the only UC that allows appeals to waitlist

@4everpraying @Nonomom: UCI,UCSB,UCR and UCSC will let you appeal while on the waitlist.

@Gumbymom thank you for the correction! I had no idea

It shows no more waitlist available at UCI ?

UCI waitlist denied
Waitlist for Freshman Class Entering Fall 2019

Thank you for participating in UCI’s waitlist. The campus has met its admission target and is unable to offer you a seat in the class entering fall 2019.

If attending UCI remains your ambition, you may establish your junior-level eligibility through an appropriate program of study at an accredited community college. Because UCI is highly selective at the transfer level, we recommend you establish a strong academic record above minimum eligibility. To learn more about transferring to UCI, please visit admissions.uci.edu.

Again, thank you for your interest in UCI. We wish you every success in achieving your educational goals.

Same message here. However, we had appealed and the appeal is still pending! What does that mean?
