Spoke with admissions yesterday, my admission to International Studies is not a glitch! This is such a load off my back.
@Lamorra did they give you a reason why they chose a random major for you?
Fasten your seat belts ladies and gentlemen. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.
@uisforutah Can’t wait to find out my admission status on sunday!
hey guys i just talked to admission office five minutes ago, they told me the results probably would come out all until next weeks. so i guess we would expect a rejection soon?
would not expect soon
@jingyiiiiiii So they’ve extended until after the 30th?
.
I guess that is what they meant
@jingyiiiiiii They must be worried about UCB’s admissions…
That’s what I also read on last year’s thread, but I believe they still got their decisions on the end of the month.
Is there an admitted students thread?
@KabirC backnschool started this one up a while back for admits: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-irvine/1885702-life-after-admission-what-to-do-and-how-to-prep-for-an-optimal-fall-2016-transfer.html#latest
I don’t get it though. Because even if someone does choose Berkeley, they are not likely to actually go on their irvine portal and click no. So they wouldn’t know until after June 1.
It would seem to be most effective for Berkeley and Los Angeles to do their decisions first. The reason being, most students chose UCI as “their backups”, I am sure many of the top students end up declining UCI to pursue UCB and UCLA.
I am hoping the late responses for rejections, and a lack of acceptances after that initial Friday means UCI is waiting for many potential students choosing UCB, thus, opening more spots for us!
if any of you are history majors ill be declining after today if that helps ;_;
@bolognese Current History Major. Anything will help. Good luck in your future endeavors!
Soooooo no news I guess is good news at this point…that is if they are looking to wait to see if more spots open up for acceptances and waitlist…I hope they start to RELEASE THE KRAKENS today…at this point they should already know who they are rejecting and who they want to waitlist.
@Blink5 Someone stated that the admissions may be looking into extending the time period for admissions. Would need more confirmation, but take that as you will.
@all - okay spoke to a Admissions rep and then waited some time to call back and speak to yet another rep (my paranoia in case the first rep gave out bad info) - UCI is still making decisions and its unlikely we’ll hear back today, better chance we’ll hear back tomorrow (Saturday/the 30th), but she also mentioned there’s a possibility we’ll hear back Monday (2nd).
Both reps admitted that things are a bit bumpy this year and the process is taking much longer than usual because this is the first year they’ve received so many applications (23K+). As a result, they weren’t prepared for the huge turnout and also wanted to ensure they gave every application a thorough lookover.
It really helps by the way, to just call them and talk to someone if any of you are feeling anxious. They know the boat we’re all in, so while they can’t give you a decision on your application, in a way it is somewhat calming.
Also, some people already received rejections as well, so if you haven’t received any update, it’s likely your application is still on the grill.
Happy Thoughts!!!
