Last Friday, on March 24, I got a rejection letter from Irvine. But today, irvine sent me an email telling me to check my status again. I didn’t expect it to really change but checked anyways.
But when I logged in, it showed that I have been admitted from appeal.
This is weird because I don’t think appeals even come out in march, and I NEVER applied for an appeal.
I’m not sure if other colleges could have influenced it. In addition, Berkeley waitlisted me yesterday so that might or might not have influenced irvine’s decision?
Out of curiosity, does anybody know why this happened?
UC Colleges:
Santa Cruz - accepted
Davis - accepted
Los Angeles - waitlisted
Berkeley - waitlisted
I also am in the same situation. This morning I got an email stating that I was admitted after review of an auto appeal. I’m not sure if this is a mistake or not 
Also just got an email telling me to celebrate my acceptance on April 22nd. Strange but I’m also pretty stoked that I ended up gettin
Call admissions to confirm it.
A lot of people from my school got it. Make sure to call in case they just made a mistake with their system to be 100% sure.
Agree with @aunt bea, that you should call admissions and confirm. This sounds like the opposite problem that UCR has this year with their computer system. Many applicants were accepted and then found it that were actually rejected.
That sounds a little fishy.
@NonHuman I called today and the admissions office worker told me that whatever is shown on your admission portal is correct. So, congrats!!!
It looks like whatever mistake that was made to reject these admissions-worthy applicants was corrected. Congratulations!
@NonHuman Are you admited as freshman or transfer student? what major did you apply?
@Kersfire2 Freshman and chemical engineering. But I’m going to Berkeley instead now, so no Irvine for me
