UCI Nursing for Fall 2016

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Irvine

I applied as a transfer student, but I heard they gave out the decisions (even for nursing transfers) last year around March 18th.

Also, I got an email last week saying that my application is under review. However, my two other friends who sent their application to the nursing program did not get this kind of email. Did anyone get this kind of email?

Fingers crossed I know it’s pretty early but I’m hoping they start giving out the decisions tomorrow, March 1st!
Post here if you applied to their nursing program too!

Good luck, my friend. Younger sis also applied for nursing, but as a freshman. We’re hoping she gets in. UCI is close to home, so we won’t have to worry about housing for her.

Thank you, good luck to your sister too :slight_smile: My parents are planning to move close to Irvine as well, so i’ll most likely stay with them.

I applied to the nursing program as a transfer too. I would assume you would hear from the UC admissions first then the program admissions?

May I ask what your prerequisite GPA is? relevant field experience?

5

UCI Transfers probably wont hear about admissions until mid April many sources have said.

@RichardEmt34 I private messaged you, check your inbox :slight_smile:

Bump! I applied as a transfer too!

I just talked to the assistant director and she said over 2200 students applied and for the most part only 80 were accepted. I guess it’s ridiculously competitive this year:/

@Kebbss Do you know the number of applicants for transfers?

10

I just got waitlisted… any idea about the chances of getting in still?

@squamous I didn’t ask about transfer students but I think it goes the same every year: 30 freshmen and 20 transfers.

@squamous

The numbers for this year are not up, but the numbers from last year are posted. Here’s the website to give you a good idea on your chances if you are transferring:

http://www.oir.uci.edu/files/adm/IA21-fall-transfers-select-yield-by-major.pdf

Breakdown of data: Last year, only 11% of Transfer applicants were accepted into the Nursing Program.
Total applicants last year: 111
Total students admitted: 13
Total students who enrolled after admission: 6

For Freshmen:

http://www.oir.uci.edu/files/adm/IA19-fall-fr-select-yield-by-major.pdf?R=444085

Breakdown of data: Last year, only 4% of Freshman applicants were accepted into the Nursing Program.
Total applicants last year: 1,915
Total students admitted: 77
Total students who enrolled after admission: 27

Also, those who are accepted with Regents are notified mid-March. I had a classmate who transferred last year into the nursing program and she was notified near the beginning of March. She had a 3.9 GPA, was a CNA, and had volunteer hours as well.

Here are the stats of the students who were admitted last year (posted from the UCI Nursing website):

Freshmen:

http://www.nursing.uci.edu/programs/bs/freshman/

Fall 2015 Freshman Applicants: 2,215
Fall 2015 Freshman Admits: 78 (3.5% admitted)
Average UC GPA: 4.25 GPA
Average Total SAT Scores: 1925

Transfers:

http://www.nursing.uci.edu/programs/bs/transfer/

Fall 2015 Transfer/2nd Bacc Applicants: 95
Fall 2015 Transfer/2nd Bacc Admits: 15 (16% admitted)
Average Cumulative GPA: 3.78 GPA
Cumulative GPA Range of Admits: 3.40 – 3.96 GPA

If your stats look similar to this data, your chances are better, but it also depends on your essay as well as any experience you may have (i.e. volunteer hours, CNA certification, working as a CNA)
