How is the UCI Waitlist looking this year?

@Oracion I hope so… Oh dear God…

it must have been a really really small batch tho if we are just finding out about it now

I’m so sad today :-S also kind of mad, I’ve been waiting for so long, and this is what I got… Gosh

Hey guys, lighten up. The results are coming out on Friday, just sit tight and don’t scare the lurkers haha. I’m sure it will be fine. I mean, they accepted less people this year, and a good portion of those people did not submit an SIR. We’ll be fine.

Lets not give up hope. It is better that uci is taking time, this way they will have more precise data of all the SIRs from other UCs.

Yeah I think we have a better chance! But for the people that were not requested these documents it doesn’t mean they aren’t getting in. I mean maybe they didn’t apply for financial aid in the first place so they wouldn’t be asked for those documents. Also, the federal governments randomly selected about 30% of applicants to submit these to see if their information provided on their FAFSA is not false…but for these 30% of people that are requested for them, they are requested AFTER they get admitted.

hey you might be right. Decisions for people taken off the waitlist for UC DAVIS are due tonight at midnight. So it makes sense that UCI is waiting cause Davis is due tonight so people will be moving their SIR’s from UCI to UCD, and that way they get more spots.

Tbh I don’t think anyone got off the UCI waitlist yet. I know about 10 people on the waitlist with very high stats that have been accepted into better UCs, so it was a shock that they were waitlisted. They probably would’ve been accepted. Just saying.

Just so you guys know, I’m an accepted transfer student that did receive financial aid and I never received that FAFSA update so it means absolutely nothing. I checked mine earlier to confirm and it hadn’t changed within months of my acceptance. Also, Irvine’s never only accepted a small minority of waitlisted people, so anybody telling their friends they were accepted off the waitlist in may or April are probably lying

Shoot I lost sleep last night, but morning guys anyway lol
One more day waiting and this will end!

how many people do you think got waitlisted?

Good morning! Just saw someone posted they got off the ucsc waitlist so we shouldn’t worry that there’s no space at uci…

@blah97blah Wat?! Where did you see that? Because they just told me they didn’t accept anyone this year

My friend (who was on the waitlist as well) told me she got rejected from UCI a couple days ago…I haven’t heard anything on my portal yet, so hopefully tomorrow is Waitlist acceptances?! keeping my fingers crossed

@theMKNG No judge on your friend, but I personally don’t think that’s true :frowning:
Because I think they haven’t release any thing about wl yet

@Oracion true! You never know haha; but in my defense, she got pretty annoyed when I asked her about the circumstances regarding her rejection from the waitlist lol

@Oracion well I know my friend got in and he wasn’t lying because we were there when he got the email to check his portal???
but he’s choosing to go to SDSU

@lifeishard1 did he appeal? :-/

@Oracion yeah he did!!

@lifeishard1 Maybe it because his appeal got accepted :slight_smile: Congrats!
I also appealed but got denied haha
