<p>hey guys, i got waitlisted to uci yesterday. it's my #1 choice.</p>
<p>i'm a 3.5w with a 27 ACT going into aerospace engineering. i wrote 2 great essays, play sports, 3 APs senior year. i'm really hoping i can get in</p>
<p>just exactly how does uci accept people on the waitlist? is it whoever submits the SIP first come first serve? by gpa?? if it's by gpa then i guess i'm screwed lol</p>
<p>Well I got accepted, but uci was a safety. Can I decline their offer so someone on the waitlist can be accepted? :)</p>
<p>Same here. Waitlisted. However, I’m going to Stanford.</p>
<p>woah woah, did you get waitlisted at UCI and accepted into stanford??</p>
<p>Everyone that’s not going and was accepted/waitlisted should PLEASE rejected ASAP. :D</p>
<p>Man, waitlisted… at least thats better than being flat out rejected, but the lingering hope is so frustrating! Thought with my stats I’d be rejected.</p>
<p>beachychic after you said that I will now hold onto my UCI acceptance as long as possible!
Just kidding. Still deciding between UCSD and UCI. Ill try to decline as soon as possible, seeing the ridiculous waitlist this year.</p>
<p>Just declined my offer! So someone should be getting off the waitlist pretty soon.</p>
<p>Thank you for your kindness MedalLily! It might help relieve the wait of someone else :D</p>
<p>No prob. I don’t want to stop someone from going who actually really wants to go there.</p>
<p>@ navyFIELD…LOL :(!</p>
<p>Thank you guys though! :D</p>
<p>Anyone have a rough estimate on how many people are on the waitlist this year? I am pretty nervous since UCI is my #1 choice :|</p>
<p>I was so sure I would get in, too. I’m just going to write an appeal for now, and see what happens. Although I scored comparatively higher on my SAT’s than some other people that got accepted, I guess my grades weren’t consistent enough. I hear there’s a 10 percent chance of appeals going through. But I’m not sure if that little statistic takes in waitlisters. So…yeah. You people who were accepted but are definitely not going…reject UCI now!</p>
<p>LOL, i read all these omg awesome stats ppl have when they applied and they got rejected. my stats are so-so, i havent even passed any of my AP tests ever and i took like 6 alrdy. i got waitlisted too hopefully a lot of our friends reject their spots at UCI to give to us. hope for a lot of open spots for us friends!</p>
<p>kind of bad news. so we have a family friend who is an admissions counselor at irvine and this is what she told us: basically, as far as appeals go, due to the extra economic budget deficits posed on the UC systems, they are pretty much ruling out all appeals for consideration because they have no room for anyone else. so even if they didnt recieve your orginal course, appealing the decision will not really help at all because the appeals are virually ignored this year. it sucks i know. hope this helped alot of people and saved them alot of necessary time.</p>
