<p>@gamer142 hahaha me too! Im only half puerto rican although a quarter Portuguese is sorta hispanic i guess</p>
<p>@clamfest: also have you heard back yet?</p>
<p>@ricky: nope no email or change on the admissions site yet. They got my appeals last Friday and the girl said it takes 3-4 weeks, MAYBE a bit earlier like 2 weeks. Guess I just gotta wait until the end of the month :I</p>
<p>@clamfest man i wanna see you get in so bad!</p>
<p>Personally dropped off my appeal to the admissions office this afternoon! Good luck to everyone appealing and still waiting for the waitlist! Especially @clamfest :D</p>
<p>@rickyseg sorry I haven’t responded to you (and possibly others I have no idea). It was finals week but I literally just finished my last final (yay data structures!). So, now we play the waiting game as I get my grades in and hopefully I can show UCI that I’m improving :D</p>
<p>@ricky: Thanks, dude. I’m patiently waiting, but not really lol.
@Hopey: good luck! Hopefully they get on with these appeals. I hope they don’t wait until the appeals deadline to start looking at them 
@TopHatFlyer: did you have to write anything to opt into the waitlist? Good luck!</p>
<p>@clamfest, nope they just updated my portal saying that I have a strong application so they want to give me a chance on the waitlist :P</p>
<p>@tophatflyer I hope you get in! although it sounds selfish of me あなたと日本語で話したいですよ。 I wanted to do the international dorm because my minor is japanese and i felt like i would meet really any people that spoke it otherwise.</p>
<p>@TopHatFlyer: Hmm I would assume they would give you a chance to explain yourself! UCSD has a section where you can write something 
May I ask what your gpa is? Oh and what school are you transferring from?</p>
<p>I haven’t gotten an admission letter either but did get the chancellor’s excellence scholarship! Does anyone know if the school of physical science even give them out? I already submitted my SIR and SLR.</p>
<p>Has anyone submitted their SIR yet? I finally did a few days and and applied for housing. :)</p>
<p>I SIR’d on Wednesday! I’m sad I didn’t fall in love with Berkeley and denied their offer but I decided that Irvine was more for me.</p>
<p>Is there a Facebook group page for UCI transfers or admitted page?</p>
<p>@abowwow join it here!</p>

<p>And yeah while UCB is an amazing school, the area is wayy to ghetto. You’re still gonna have a huge target on your head for getting in but not going :P</p>
<p>@kazzic thanks for the link! Haha I know, who needs a school with notable academic history when you can be at a newer school and make your own history lol.</p>
<p>@kazzic Exaaaaactly. I went to the Amoeba Records by UCB and holy shizz it’s ghetto and ugly lol. It’s RIGHT next to the campus too. I was like ‘yeah I definitely don’t feel bad that I don’t attend UCB’ lol.</p>
<p>Chicano packet? Most likely it says “hey bro you’re like the fifth Mexican, hit us up if you wanna start a Non-Asian or White club on campus. The black guy says he’s in”</p>
<p>@rickyseg, Yeah well I’m sure if you don’t meet many Japanese people at UCI, you’ll be able to go abroad or something to Japan 
(I’m actually at Narita as I type this out haha). Oh also, I’m half Japanese/half American so yeah I’m pretty Americanized (not to say that I don’t embrace my Japanese side). It’s just I was raised in the American school system and I lived in Singapore during my high school life so it’s not like I have the best Japanese or anything (but yeah I can communicate perfectly fine).
@clamfest, I mean I don’t mind telling you my GPA and stuff haha. I’m a computer science major at Pace University in New York City. My cumulative GPA as of right now is a 3.6 (hopefully higher after I get my calculus 2 and physics 2 grades back). How about you?</p>
<p>@TopHatFlyer: I’m about a 3.4-3.5 ish at the community college right now. Oh dang computer science. Yikes! My friend was going to major in that and apply to UCI with me, but he ended up completely bailing on it haha. Good luck getting those grades higher in time for UCI to see them! That’s cool, by the way, that you lived in Singapore. One of my best friends goes there a lot to see family and she always invites me to go with her lol. I actually really wanna go now haha.</p>
