@ucgogo I’ve lived in Irvine for ~13 years and I gotta say the people who go to UCI tend to love the change in atmosphere. It’s a mix of suburban and urban and we have lots of new asian malls/hangouts and the nightlife is definitely improved in the last few years. Overall, its a safe city, very clean, no crimes, etc. You’ll have a great time in Irvine but for me, I just want to get the hell outta here
if I didn’t get into my major does that mean I cannot reselect it again if I choose to attend the school?
@ucgogo irvine is a VERY nice city. i’ve visited a ton in the past year or two and i love coming every time! it’s safe, clean, and the food is great.
OKAY AND JUST LIKE THAT I AM OFF TO SLEEP, THANK YOU UCSD AND UCI FOR DESTROYING MY SPIRIT. HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK UCD FOR THE ACCEPTANCE AND THE QUICK NOTICE.
@jackisawesome I got waitlisted at Davis and rejected from Cal Poly SLO too lol
Is it true that UCI just recently released decision notices in last 4 hours??
Everyone with above average stats got denied Cal Poly; Davis seems weird though. I have a friend who got waitlisted Davis too with 4.6 2280
Do you mean Cal Poly SLO or Cal Poly Pomona??
I love how many colleges are handing out waitlists this year 
@jackisawesome I think Davis didn’t want to “waste” acceptances on applicants they think will go somewhere else (i.e. those with exceedingly strong applications).
Hey guys, I decided to share my info since I’m as low as a candidate can get haha
I got accepted around 8:20 p.m. Criminology major.
In-state
GPA: 3.84 unweighted 3.4 weighted I believe
SAT: 1520
ACT: 21
AP US history, ap language (2 lol), ap government, and ap statistics. Haven’t passed/taken any AP exams.
My grades and test scores are pretty horrible but I feel like I evened it out with my extra curriculars
President of 4 clubs, VP of one club, editor of school website, four educational prep programs, founder of two programs @ my school. 400+ community service hours.
I got a supplemental questionnaire from Irvine (UCLA too) so I’m guessing that’s what really helped me get in. Plus, my personal statements were pretty solid.
Good luck to everyone!!
*edit: Waitlisted by UC Davis, accepted to UCR, March 30d by UCSD. Waiting on UCLA, UCSB. Rejected from SDSU so far
I checked once at around 4:30 and nothing was up @shahe
@xolama5269 which major?
@4sptak7 yeah
@Somewhere2020 I would think that, but then friends with even higher stats got accepted (some even with same major)
Criminology major
@BoogJr Will will need to qualify to change your major if you didn’t get admitted directly. See this page for details:
@jackisawesome Yeah, I just recently got denied to SLO. My stats we’re pretty bad though … I had a 1610 SAT and 3.77 UW GPA
Just got accepted for Political Science (second choice major) around 3! (My stats were pretty low, my first choice was Computer Science but I might try switching later)
GPA: 4.2
SAT: 1700
ACT: 26
ASB elected all four years, did many sports as well.
Good luck to everyone else who still hasn’t heard back!!
