And next wave will be mostly rejections… It’s the same as last year >:P

Cmon UCI, give me something!

Congrats to @DPattt who got into UCLA! (http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/18249090/#Comment_18249090)
I just remember you because we are those who haven’t gotten a response yet from UCI, but I think you don’t care anymore…
@DPattt acceptance to UCLA is actually giving me some hope that there might be some acceptances UCI need to send out haha.
Thanks so much @Luigi0928 i believed i was super unqualified after not even receiving a decision from uci but i guess not? Im in disbelief rn. Honestly, id still rather attend uci
I really hope so @fizzman lol. Good luck guys. Ill post my uci decision as soon as i receive it
@DPattt Congrats!!! I saw you in the UCLA thread and I was like wait… didn’t I just see this guy on the UCI thread?
Why would you rather attend UCI though? UCLA is higher ranked, more prestigious, and they don’t tortuously release decisions in batches.
@ettudis Thank you so much I will have more friends going there and i just prefer the feel of the irvine campus to that of la. I am definitely grateful though that was unexpected.
Omg congrats @DPattt I got rejected hahaha

General Comments:
UCI was a backup. I’m also so angry they’re releasing decisions like this, nothing in the world would make me opt in for wait list. Screw that. And kind of pissed people with way lower stats got into engineering. However, congrats to those that got in!
Stalked this thread ever since UCI sent out applications.
Today I found out I got waitlisted.
Went in undeclared for social science.
Man, I was kind of happy I got a response, but now I have to wait again…
it’s so hard to not take college rejection letters personal
Thank you so much @paquetusepa
@dpattt congrats on your acceptance to ucla!!!
@DPattt. You good.
Looks like today is over.
So next Monday will be rejection?
@dpratt dude congrats on LA! it’s been kind of fun being on this thread with you + everyone else LOL
