UCI waitlist

<p>no have you? my appeal is pending/under review so i prob cant check it</p>

<p>should i appeal if i am waitlisted? what does that do?/how would it help? (would it?)</p>

<p>we have until april 15, yes?</p>

<p>i can’t check my financial aid, i figure it’s cause i’m on the waitlist, but i was just wondering if anyone could see it.</p>

<p>@howareyoudoing: i dont think it would really make a difference if you appealed since you have a better chance of getting in being that your a waitlister rather than appeal the waitlist decision. plus technically you have not been denied or accepted so i dont even know if it would be possible for to appeal the decision because there really isnt one.</p>

<p>would sending UCI a letter about your interest in UCI help your chances if you’re on the waitlist??</p>

<p>I talked to a UCI admission counselor the other day and he told me something a little different than what other people were telling me. Basically, you’re gonna start hearing about your admission status beginning to mid-May. However, this will not be the case for everyone. For some, they will not be given a response for a while. Some kids say okay to go to UCI, then say forget it in June/July. This leaves open space and if you might be given a reply then. Depending on where you stand after the counselors rereview your application, you may be hearing in May or even July.</p>

<p>told you guys!!! ^^^</p>

<p>Hey, I haven’t read through this thread, but I’m very curious about something.</p>

<p>I was accepted at UCI for a Psych major, and waitlisted at UC Davis for psychology. I’ve always wanted to go to UC Davis, though. If I were to find someone accepted at UCD for psych, but waitlisted at Irvine, would the office of undergraduate admissions allow us to switch?</p>

<p>I doubt that could happen. I’m sure there are others in your position and it wouldn’t be fair. I don’t think that admissions offices of UCI and UCD go hand in hand. Sorry to say.</p>

<p>i suppose so. never hurts to ask though. :slight_smile: Well best of luck to those on the UCI waitlist.</p>

<p>Does anyone know the number of student on the waitlist? do you think its more than last year?</p>

<p>^I am wondering that too. After seeing some of the other UC’s waitlist offer numbers like Davis’ crazy 5000 and SB’s more reasonable 1200, I’ve been kinda scared. I don’t see a reason for UCI to change the number of students they off to be on the waitlist if it worked so well last year with the 700 they offered. Then again I am on the waitlist anxiously waiting to be an official anteater. If not, off to UCSB for me haha.</p>

<p>Sb has 2,428 not 1200.
Irvine has 1,491.
Davis 5,065.</p>

<p>Mann i want to go uci so bad. I made it to sd but I rather get irvine</p>

<p>Did it say uci have 1491 in that article?? I didn’t see. You’re scaring me</p>

<p>^It’s in one of the pictures. Mann 1491 is so much. Hopefully 70% of that decided not to accept haha :]</p>

<p>that is a HUGE increase from last year!!! more than double! wow!</p>

<p>I hope like only 300 accepted the waitlist, i wonder if you can call and ask the number of student on waitlist.</p>

<p>FYI my friend got accepted to Irvine after being on the waitlist! :D</p>

<p>from this year or last year?</p>
