@soco48 Congrats! Do you mind letting us know if you were in-state or out-of-state?
OOS. I grew up in Bay Area but did last three years of high school OOS. UC is so competitive!
Anyone from the School of Biological Sciences gotten off yet?
Will it be hard for me to get off the waitlist as a business major? My alternate major was media studies. Do they accept you off the waitlist based off of majors or?
Hey @Gumbymom , I’ve noticed that you’ve been giving some false information in regards to waitlist and appeals for UCI…it says right on the official UC website that UCI doesn’t accept appeals from those on a waitlist.
“Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, Riverside and San Diego will only allow appeals from students who were denied admission. Applicants offered a waitlist space may not appeal. Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz will review all appeals, whether an applicant is on the waitlist or not.”
https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/counselors/q-and-a/waitlist/
i’ve never seen gumbymom say that.
Same here grue… never seen that said before. I’ve seen her talk about how the appeals process works, never that you can appeal on waitlist.
@BreadButter33 Gumbymom said that uci does not accept waitlist appeals, check #46 on this thread
Did a second wave come out?
@null24 Not yet 
although apparently yesterday one person on here got in for nursing. that’s abt all I’ve seen here and on Reddit tho
@BreadButter33: I corrected my mistake after the original post in post #46. I admitted I made a mistake. Just like everyone else, I am only human so definitely not infallible. Thank you for reposting the waitlist information and I am not posting false information on purpose.
Next time you see a mistake, bringing the information to light without an accusatory tone would be more beneficial to all involved.
@Gumbymom Thank you for all your help so far!
I had a question to you because I assume you are knowledgeable about the college process in general. If I don’t get into my waitlisted schools, do you think it is better to attend UCR or go to cc? I am a biology major. I know if I go to UCR, then I would try and enter the Thomas Haider Program (I can skip mCAT, have the 3rd year to volunteer among other benefits). Or, I can attend UCR and transfer to another UC from there.
But if I go to CC, I can save money and have a better chance at transferring to a UC because of TAP/TAG programs. Personally, my mom thinks I should just attend UCR because of the rigor of classes and says attending UCR will make it easier to have a higher GPA and even make it into Medical school. She also told me students who attend community college most likely can’t get into a good UC school because biology is an impacted major.
So do you think CC or UCR is a better route for a biology major?
Thank you for taking the time to read this! 
Anyone else, please feel free to input any opinions! Any input will be appreciated!
@worriedSenior345: I sent you a PM.
on reddit, the person whose email i posted in post #218, who was on the waitlist, but received a weird email about housing and covid, just posted that he got in.
sooo are they just taking individuals off instead of in waves or what LOL still tryna manifest that acceptance tho ?
Anyone here get off yet? Literally @ren002 I think so HAHA this literally doesn’t make any sense at all. If they spend every day pulling one by one off the waitlist all they’re doing is wasting our time.
Some guy in UCI discord just got taken off waitlist an hour ago, Business admin transfer… transfer students are really getting taken off before us? …
Has anyone gotten in from the waitlist for computer science?
@Gumbymom I had a question… I have gotten accepted to University of Redlands and UC Riverside, and for both, I am basically getting all my tuition covered by financial aid (as a commuter student). I am undecided about where to attend in Fall 2020 as an undergraduate majoring in pre-business. I don’t know which school has more professionalism and has more faculty support to help students graduate and succeed in their undergraduate studies in the 4 years. Academically I don’t know which is better. I also don’t know if it’ll be tougher to find jobs at a smaller private less-known schools like University of Redlands compared to well-known UC’s. I also got waitlisted to UC Irvine and I like it as well, but I’m waiting for their decision. I got accepted to UCSD but I think it’s too far and dorming is expensive I live in San Bernardino County area. The ones I’m deciding between is UCR or University of Redlands, I think those are my best options and I won’t go into debt. Any advice would be helpful really, thank you ? If anyone else has any advice, that would be helpful too.
Not sure if there’s any Business Admin majors here, but a few of those got in yesterday according to UCI reddit and discord.
