Can I ask where you found this information @needhelp8929 ? I haven’t seen anything like that mentioned online.
@Orebitt One of my previous posts gives a link for the waitlist acceptances, if that is what you are asking about. User Gumbymom has previously stated that UCI DOES NOT admit by major, so if there is no space for a major unavailable, they will be given “undeclared” until spots open up.
@needhelp8929 Waitlist stats from previous years cannot accurately predict how many kids they’ll let off this year, especially given the current world-wide situation. The amount of kids admitted off of the waitlist depends on the amount of students that SIR, which is completely out of the school’s hands.
Today’s the big day…hoping for an ICS acceptance 
@Ravastar Good luck!!! I hope you get in.
yeesh, hopes up today for humanities (or undeclared at least, since everyone and their lover seem to have committed for biosci of the c/o 2024 insta)
@ravastar Why is today the big day? Do we know if the wave is coming today?
Why is today the big day? The SIR deadline from the most recent wave was yesterday so I think it may take a few days for them to process how many students accepted, decline, etc before releasing more offers. I feel like if anything, the earliest we would hear back is tomorrow…
@worriedSenior345 Most likely it will be tomorrow or today in which UCI releases ICS, Social Science, or Physical Science majors because the most recent SIR date for Engineers was 5/17. I think it’s going to be tomorrow that they release their decisions because they aren’t going to work around the clock to determine who accepted and who declined. Expect, at the earliest, tomorrow for the decisions to come out.
It’s not like they’re processing every application by paper… pretty sure everything’s electronic. If they were waiting for the Engineering deadline to pass to release ICS, Social Sciences, and Physical Sciences (which wouldn’t make sense bc the amount of kids that SIR for Engineering has nothing to do w/ the other majors), then they would likely release today unless they just decided not to. Kinda like how UCLA released nearly their entire in-state waitlist for L&S 8 hours after the SIR deadline. We’ll just have to wait and see anyway.
Usually it releases a few days after the waitlist deadline is reached. So, sit back and relax for a few days.
@mohsam Seeing how long it took UCI to release their waitlists and rejections, I wouldn’t count on it being processed today. Also, as GumbyMom has said, UCI DOES NOT admit by major. CC is a very small sample size!
@sbgirl02 Yes, UCI does not admit by major. They admit into the school first. So the Henry Samueli School of Engineering waitlist would have no effect on the waitlist for the School of Social Sciences. Also, releasing decisions for 100,000+ applicants is nothing compared to releasing decisions for what is probably less than 2000 per school.
@mohsam What we don’t know, we don’t know. Only time will tell.
@Ravastar @heyykelleyy Are you sure? I have not seen any evidence pointing toward that they are releasing today.
If you have any posts suggesting that, let me know.
I feel like we may hear back next Tuesday.
If you look at the current trend, some students heard back on Tuesday April 28th. I’m assuming they were given ~5 days to SIR, probably Saturday May 3rd.
Then there was a silent week. On May 12th, some more students heard back. They were given 5 days, a May 17th SIR deadline. With that being yesterday, there’s a potential next eave on Tuesday May 26th, after Memorial Day where UCI will definitely be closed. Of course, I’m just speculating at this point.
Yup, let’s just wait and see what they do
@sbgirl02 April 28th wave was given a May 7th deadline.
@mohsam that’s really interesting. maybe the SIR turnaround time gets shorter since the most recent one was ~5 days? I think thats good news for us then if it took 2 business days between the May 7th deadline and the May 12th wave.
