UCI Waitlist Thread

<p>Post here if you got wait listed. If you have any info on the waitlist too please post here. Does anyone know how this process works? Do they randomly choose who gets off the waitlist or is it random? Do they also send us a supplement too? Also if you are on the waitlist and you know your not going there please reject the offer! A lot of us are on this waitlist and its our only hope</p>

<p>I’m also waitlisted :frowning:
I’ve heard that UCI has a all or nothing policy with waitlists, seeing from the fact that all the students from the waitlist got admitted last year but none were admitted 2010, etc etc</p>

<p>Waitlisted. I like how we waited a month to find out that we get to wait for another month =) hahaha
Let’s hold onto the hope that spots will open up. Good luck to you all, I’ll be praying for you!</p>

<p>Applied to BA major and got wait listed today</p>

<p>Waitlisted too :frowning: bio sci major. </p>

<p>I really hope this year they use the waitlist…</p>

<p>Wait listed too… I heard that the wait list is pretty unpredictable every year.</p>

<p>I’m also wait listed as a Bio Sci major too… worried about what I should do considering we find out by May 15th and other colleges I’ve been accepted to have housing fees due May 1st…any advice or suggestions?</p>

<p>@christineeliza as a freshman at UCI who got admitted off of the wait listed, I had to put down housing for my original college, then once I got to UCI, I had to tell them to return my money, however I do think that I lost 100 dollars or something like that when cancelling my housing. Make sure you read the fine print to ensure that don’t loose too much money!!! If it says you won’t be refunded then you have a hard choice to face, either loose all of your downpayment or take your chances with your admission to UCI</p>

When did you hear back about acceptance? In may or did you hear earlier?</p>

<p>I was waitlisted too. Is it possible to send them an updated transcript because I have better grades now than when I sent in my application?</p>

<p>Waitlisted too, Not going to wait around for them to accept me lol</p>

<p>For you other guys who got waitlisted don’t feel bad, my friend with a 4.8 GPA and 2000 something SAT got waitlisted, like what even -_______-</p>

<p>admissions are getting very hard now a days. I would rather do the CCC route and treat myself a seat.</p>

<p>Wait list too… Wondering the acceptance rate ?</p>

<p>I have no idea why I was waitlisted. I got into UCLA, UCSD, UC Berkeley, NYU, Brandeis, and Barnard College of Columbia Univ.
I easily should have gotten in.</p>

<p>sigh…im so worry about it…</p>

<p>anyone knows how they decide the use of waitlist and our chances to get accepted ?</p>

<p>Waitlisted here too. So nervous…UCI is my top choice</p>

<p>First it depends on how many people actually decide to go to UCI.
Last year they underadmitted 1000 CA residents (apparently) so everyone got off the waitlist.
But the two years before that, no one got off (I believe).
I guess you never know. Aghhh, waitlists give me so much anxiety…</p>

<p>So nervous…have you guys accepted admissions to other schools yet? If so what schools?</p>

<p>Definitely anxious and excited about hearing back in a few weeks! I believe the results may come out the first week of May or the second. I’m counting on getting into irvine or davis (got waitlisted from both). Unfortunately, I didn’t get into the other 3 UC’s I applied to, which is stupid but I’m dealing. I got into CSULB easily but I’m not considering just because I’d rather transfer from a community college to a UC if these waitlists don’t work out. Wish you all luck! Hopefully this year there aren’t a ton of people who accepted the waitlist option and people who accept SIR to UCI :)</p>
