I see why you’re worrying for Davis, but as stated in prior posts the schools decide independently and I really believe that UCI screwed up a little this year.

I was rejected to UCI (4.2 UC GPA, SAT 1910, ACT 29, First Gen, Single Household, Low Income, as you can see I felt that those disadvantages should have made up for my lower test scores) and many other 4.0+, 2000+ got rejected, too. However, my stepsister got waitlisted with 1360(out of 2400) SAT, 3.8 UC GPA (easy/crappy hs), 380 & 500 SAT 2s, crappy essays (I read it and actually helped her out b/c I felt bad for her), no disadvantages. And I’m sitting wondering how the hell she got waitlisted and I got straight up denied. I’m not being bitter about it, but CAN YOU SEE HOW CRAZY THIS IS?

Yea, and this REALLY was surprising b/c I got into SD and not Irvine. Even my dad chuckled and was embarassed for me. So to the OP, I hope Davis will bring you good news and don’t let Irvine’s decision belittle your hope/chances for Davis.
