@onmyway21 Not part of a dream lol; they sent me the supplemental essay application in late january i think.
Ugh well I didn’t get that…
I got a supplement and I still haven’t received anything. Maybe what is left are the bulk of rejections and supplement people.
what is that supplement thing?
@vivivu Ahh, there may be a trend after all since many of us received the supplement. Hopefully we all get in. Good luck guys.
@WinnieH The supplement was an application sent to students who were borderline, had a special talent, or who had overcome some sort of disability/hardship during high school. They are composed of two essays: one that you write about a special talent that you may have, and one about a disability or hardship that you have overcome.
It’s an essay (usually optional but idk in UCI’s case) that they give to applicants in order to get to know them better. Sometimes people say its given randomly but I don’t think that’s the case. It only needs like 1-2 paragraphs.
Lol well if I’m not a part of this trend then I guess I can call it a day.
@onmyway21 yeah I didn’t get one either…
@coolboywth I’m hoping it’s just a random thing they needed.
@coolboywth @onmyway21 Im not sure if it is actually a trend. I know that some people who received the supplements got accepted earlier in this thread, so I’d say we all have an equal chance of getting admitted/rejected at this point.
Did anybody here receive that supposed “likely letter” that was sent out a while ago?
My friend says that she received a supplement from UCB because they were on the borderline of accepting/waitlisting/rejecting her. They couldn’t decide, so they wanted additional information.
If that’s truly the case, then the people who didn’t receive the supplement are either certain acceptances, certain waitlists, or certain rejections.
ohhh I see thanks! @DPattt btw idk how it works but do I really have to submit the SIR saying that yes im gonna attend UCI then I can view my FA on My Aid? Because right now it just show that they received my FAFSA on time and nothing more?..
@WinnieH Im not certain, but im pretty sure you do not. They should update your aid before the sir deadline as that is a factor that decides whether or not many students will attend the school. I’d give it a few weeks.

@Yvask95 @Nataliee177 OMG what’s with us…I also dreamed of getting accepted to UCI few days ago. The thirst is real lol
@DPattt Nope never got the email either…
Btw just to add that I have a friend who received a supplemental questions but she didn’t submit them because she didn’t know it was important and she’s not interested in going to uci anyway. However she still got accepted like last week.
@DPattt what do you mean by the “likely letter”? Do you mean the letter that was sent out thanking the us for applying? If so, I got one. When it came, it scared the hell out of me. I thought I was being denied.
do we ever get the snail mail when we got accepted? and to those who haven’t got accepted yet: Don’t give up!!!
@hotairmarooned yeah, the one from the vice chancellor guy. I had thought that it was possibly an actual likely letter after reading a thread about it but i guess not lol. A lot of the others who received it got in, but here we are still waiting lol.
