<p>?!?!?!?!?!?!?!</p>
<p>Hope the people who got accepted reject their admission offer! I still haven’t heard anything from Irvine.</p>
<p>Waitlist chances vary from year to year and there’s never a guarantee that UCI will need to go to it this year if enough freshman accept their offer of admission. Some years it could be 50% and some years it could be 0%. If there’s anything super unpredictable in the college admissions process, it is the waitlist.</p>
<p>Ah well! For now it’s a waiting game I suppose…</p>
<p>Waitlist - 3,700 waitlist offers went out; 1,600 students opted in; all were admitted; 680 SIR’ed."

<p>Your chances are either 0% or 100% depending on how many students enroll. UCI has a very weird all or nothing policy when it comes to the waitlist. i.e., everyone gets in off the waitlist OR everyone gets rejected. Last year UCI grossly underadmitted…so they took everyone off the waitlist; in my year, everyone on the waitlist was rejected.</p>
<p>man…one more month !!! praying for them to use the waitlist!!!</p>
<p>I highly doubt they would use the all or nothing deal when it comes to the waitlist. They need to fill a certain amount of spots every year and they just happened to need every waitlisted student they could take last year in order to fill the open spots. The year before that they over enrolled so they didn’t take any waitlisted students.</p>
<p>Just one more month! Atleast it wasn’t flat out rejection.</p>
<p>I thought last year was unique because they under-enrolled CA residents since Irvine changed their admissions process a bit.
I doubt they would make the same mistake this year. Still hoping that some spots will be open, though. The “All or Nothing” policy seems really inconvenient for colleges though – what if you’re missing 1000 students but have 1600 on the waitlist? Then you would have 600 extra students… I just think in the past two years, one year was over-enrollment and last year was under-enrollment.</p>
<p>What are we supposed to do, we find out by May 15th if we get in and it’s my top choice but I have other colleges that have housing fees due May 1st?</p>
<p>Is it possible to appeal your waitlist or can you only appeal if you were flatout rejected?</p>
<p>@christineeliza You SIR to another college and you pay the fee there. Then if you get accepted into Irvine you cancel your original SIR and send one to Irvine instead. 
You just lose about a hundred dollars or so from your original SIR.</p>
