UCI Waitlist Thread

<p>Rejected… Oh well atleast I finally got an answer after months of waiting</p>

<p>Rejected. That means I will be at community college for a couple years. Did anyone get off the waitlist?</p>

<p>Rejected. Going to UCSB now…at least I’m pretty sure that is where I will go now.</p>

<p>Yup, rejected. Definitely no surprise. Not like it matters to me. My hopes of getting into UCI continued to fall everyday after May 1st. Still angry that they took so damn long just to tell us we’re rejected.</p>

<p>Keep the faith guys. At the tutor center at my CC every single one of them has their choices laid out for them. UCLA, UCI, USC, etc. The cream can still rise to the top and you can still get into dream school if you attack school with the intensity needed to be top of your class</p>

<p>Wait so does that mean you got in? Little confused by wording @dyehard</p>

<p>I can’t believe this. I just can’t. I wanted UCI to accept me so bad. Thanks for nothing. This sucks</p>

<p>Rejected but got off waitlist for UC Davis and will be going there.</p>

<p>@laserdanger Yeah I got accepted from waitlist. Is everyone here CA resident? because I’m not which means UCI needs money …</p>

<p>no offense to you dyehard…but that’s just wrong that non-CA residents are the only ones getting accepted. I guess it doesn’t matter how good you do as long as you don’t live in CA.</p>

<p>Rejected as well. Did they only accept non-CA residents? If they did, that’s pretty unfair…</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>just shows how desperate they are for money in the California economy.</p>

<p>it’s been an issue for a long time :P</p>

<p>Now that UCI isn’t a choice for fall semester 2013 for me, is it better just to go to a cal state or go to a cc and transfer to a UC? (I’m doing computer science)</p>

<p>@stillwaiting123 **** UC’s man. Its all about USC</p>

<p>@stillwaiting123 If you got into SLO then I’d go there in your position. The other CSU’s eh, might want to transfer after CC</p>

<p>@stillwaiting123</p>

<p>I am going to Cal Poly Pomona and will attempt to transfer out to go to a UC after 2 years. I, too, am doing computer science. </p>

<p>both can work out, so its up to you.</p>

<p>I’m not sure how many transfer students are on here, but I know that Ms. Sun has stated that UCI tentatively will not be looking to take transfer students off the waitlist. With that being said, I was told to apply for a calgrant transfer entitlement award by CSAC. I put the two schools that I could’ve ended up at, UCR (SIR’ed) and UCI (Waitlist). I just received my award today and it says that my current school of attendance is UCI, with no award details for UCR at all. I’m not sure if Calgrants is working with the schools to know how they’re going to award grants, but I’m just going to assume that it’s an error. I don’t want to get my hopes up because it’s not even June 1st yet. Did this happen to anyone else or are there other transfer students out there that know more information?</p>

<p>^I don’t know if this is true for the CSAC thing…but for the regular Calgrant awards, the school that shows up as your “school of attendance” is whichever school you listed first when you filed your FAFSA. There was a section where you list the schools you want to send the FAFSA to (#1-10). #1 on you list goes on the Calgrant. i.e. if you had completed the FAFSA with UCSD as your top choice, the Calgrant award would say UCSD is your school of attendance, even if you are later rejected. </p>

<p>It’s important that you remember to change that to UCR (or leave it as UCI) once you receive a final decision…otherwise you might end up not getting aid from the school…</p>

<p>That makes sense. Thank you for the reply. It looks like there’s no hope for UCI for transfers as well so I’ll probably have to change the schools.</p>

<p>Hello Everyone
I went through the whole thread…lol… so I see that as a transfer student I have no chance of getting admitted to UCI if im on the waiting list? Is there any hope? Ive been waiting patiently to read that is like taking an arrow to the heart…any transfer student on the waitlist for uci here? I political science major by the way</p>
