UCI Admissions message “Thank you for applying to the University of California, Irvine. Due to limited capacity for transfer students, we are not currently able to offer you admission for fall 2016.
However, your application is strong and as a result, we want to provide you the opportunity to be included on a transfer student waitlist for UCI.”

UCLA
Rejected last friday
CS major

FYI to people who got wait listed. Last year’s thread wait listed people submitted a petition(which I’m still researching and I don’t know yet how to submit one), and some of them got admitted, so I don’t think it will hurt to submit a petition.

Anyone know by when us waitlist transfer students can expect to hear back? CS major

So if we don’t hear anything in the batch that’s apparently coming out right now, then it’s probably a rejection?

Notification of waitlist decisions will be sent toward the end of June.

what’s a petition?

@ctehin Appeal process.

@lugi350

@lugi350 what petition? i know you’re researching it but i would like to know of this as well. quick google search doesn’t really turn up anything about waitlisting admissions, only waitlisting classes (meaning you’re already a student there)

GPA: 3.6
Intended Major: Business Admin

seems like they’re sending out the waitlists right now. Does anyone know if you can SIP at UCI and then SIR somewhere else?

Still waiting on a decision… I don’t really understand how the portal works though, does the decision show up in your “messages” thing?

@isaypwnsj00 https://www.admissions.uci.edu/applicants/resources/appeal_selection.html

I believe this is the one. I’m not going to fill one out…

@ctehin showed up on the first page after logging in. the boxes turned green for me - waitlist decision. i know for a real admission it says like congratulations or something, big letters.

They appealed not petitioned. My fault.

Check page 43 and 44.

Waitlisted
Waitlisted sometime between 2:30 and 3:10. I’m really sad because UCI is my top choice. I almost wish they would of just rejected me instead of giving me hope. Either way I already submitted my SIR to Cal Poly SLO for ee. Will be accepting waitlist offer.

UC-Transferable GPA: 3.2-ish

PS: Pretty good, had a lot of insight and editing from people. Would rate 8/10
Accepted: SDSU, CSUN, CSULB, Cal Poly SLO, UCSB
Waitlisted: UCI, UCD, UCSD
Rejected: UCLA
Pending: UCSC

I just called UCI and talked to a helpful representative. The person said that there is one waitlist pool and everyone on it is not ranked in order of preference. By June they will have received notice from students who decline to attend UCI and they will be able to tell how many spots are available. Then they notify people on the waitlist that they are accepted. Some years they accept everyone off the waitlist (I hope this year too!), and some years, just a percentage of the waitlist. So now we wait…again…
