Uci waitlist discussion thread class of 2024

@futureanteater if they follow that same path then there might be a wave today although it doesn’t seem at the moment to be the last one

I called the UC admissions office regarding UCI’s waitlist and the lady who helped me let me know that all decisions were going to be posted by June 1st. I am really hoping this is right!

Huh, well I guess the trend is if you got financial docs requested you’re most likely getting in. RIP lol

@rkarjala not necessarily! I chatted w/ a rep on the admissions portal and they said the financial aid department is an entirely different entity. They didn’t confirm or deny if the document requests had anything to do with potential admissions so I wouldn’t worry too much :slight_smile:

@ztop123 If this is the case we’re very likely to receive another wave next week!

@rkarjala did you get any documents requested via the portal?

@futureanteater97 Nope. All I had requested was my parents tax information and my FAFSA (all due around March). I did have on campus housing in the change plan section, however.

@rkarjala that’s what everyone was requested!

@futureanteater97 oh really? I thought some people got new requests for student tax forms or something like that recently?

@rkarjala I’m not entirely sure. I was requested two tax forms and a dependency form (so 3 total).

I chatted with an admissions rep (just now) and they said all waitlists decisions (regardless of outcomes) can come out as late as AUGUST?! I’m SO confused right now and don’t understand this discrepancy…

Anyone who didn’t apply for FAFSA have the forms requested? Or did the people who was accepted on 5/20 have the forms requested without applying for FAFSA

Psych majors?

@futureanteater97 Wait that is so weird. Did the admissions rep say that specifically about UCI or about the UC’s in general?

I believe I had the student tax form requested until I filled out the dependent verification worksheet. After that the student tax form disappeared and I suppose it was replaced with a second parent tax document

@ztop123 this was through UCI’s admissions page and I chatted with a rep through their page. They were super vague and gave a general answer (all decisions will be out by August regardless of the outcome). Did you call UCI’s admissions office and they explicitly told you June 1st?

I think people who got the requests were only the ones who were eligible for financial aid. I’m not eligible and I didn’t get anything. All it says is that my fafsa was received on time. It also says " UCI may require verification of all data submitted for corrections if you become eligible for need-based aid." So I think only the people who are eligible for the aid got the requests.

@futureanteater97 I called the general UC admissions and asked about UCI. She then confirmed it was UCI specific and told me that June 1st was the last day that decisions were to be released. I was a little surprised ngl bc I kinda found that date to be a little early with the whole covid situation!

Any hope for today?

@sprinkledoom at this point we don’t know when itll come but given that we had a wave on Wednesday it doesn’t seem likely but who knows
