[] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: In a general sense, like to the university, probably my ACT score, but why I was accepted to my first choice major is a bit more difficult for me to comprehend. I’d like to think it’s because of my essays, in which I thought I gave the college a good idea of my work ethic, character, and passion, and expressed in the Additional Comments section why I went from taking tons of courses in my underclassmen years on the track of going into the medical field, to getting into the world of computer sicnece

[/ul]General Comments: I’m so happy that I got into my major. I was worried about getting into UCI of course, but I was all too aware of how impacted CS is. Thankfully, they saw something in my app and I made it through. My heart skipped a beat seeing the blue boxes :’) Good luck to those waiting! This site is a death trap, please get off of it if you’re waiting for a decision - I’m not kidding. Sifting through the desperation of fellow March 30ers over in the UCSD thread have brought me down to newfound levels of depression, but I’m delighted to report that this acceptance has brought me out of that and I am determined not to revisit those levels of sadness any time soon. Have hope everyone! They’re not done sending out acceptances!!

@emshasnolife are u out of state or live in CA, and also when did u check that you got admitted?
