The hearing for the Harvard and MIT challenge to the new federal rules that would revoke the visas of foreign students studying entirely online this fall is set for Tuesday. By Wed (July 15) the government is requiring schools to certify that students are taking in-person classes to meet the visa requirements. So, I doubt we’ll hear back from UCI until the outcome of tomorrow’s hearing and the passage of July 15th.
@Camlian yea that’s just another setback the UCI now has to deal with which will postpone the decisions
Trump administration rescinds rule on foreign students
Anyone have firsthand knowledge of students being notified of decisions? Either accepted or rejected?
Hello All! We just received a reply from UCI admissions after following up on our waitlist status. It’s a generic response of “they are experiencing delays, and everyone will hear back by the END OF SUMMER”. Not very helpful… At this point, we would probably be in enrolled with our safety school by the time we hear back from them ?. We are waitlisted for CS.
@Stingers yes it’s been mentioned that they said waitlist could come out any time till the end of summer but you’re right at that point some might have even started school
UCI is annoying a f. Woud it kill them to send out a mass email to waitlisters and tell them that there are delays? But no. Radio silence. Eight months is an egregious amount of time to wait for an admission response. That’s nearly one fully gestated baby.
Screw them.
@Nightmanrunneth Agreed. My fall semester starts in less than a MONTH. How could I possibly switch schools at this point, not to mention that no one on CC has gotten off for ICS, why waitlist us if you aren’t going to take anyone off
@Ravastar I agree my school also starts next month and at this rate it seems late to SIR to UCI even if they do accept especially if no one from ICS has gotten off
has anyone been rejected?
anyone else having trouble logging on to their portal? it says slate 403 forbidden…
@elizabeth1246 yes maybe this is a sign they are updating?
