Wait education sciences is a capped major? Im a transfer btw

@sarsar101 For transfer, education sciences has an admit rate of 57.4% from last year. I think it’s a capped major only for freshmen with 24.5% admit rate.

@SmartGurl17 in the link you sent with the acceptance rates by major, why is there two sections for computer science and engineering? one has a 100% acceptance rate like you said, but the other has only around 30%. please explain this. thanks!

@SmartGurl17 what about philosophy??

@garrbage The computer science and engineering major admit rate for Info and Computer Science school and engineering school is the same. For Interdisciplinary Studies school (UCI law), it’s 31.8%. It is based on what school.

anybody knows if uc’s like upward trends in grades? like if you had a bad start sophomore year but ended up doing good in junior year?

So there hasn’t been any sociology majors decision yet?

im pretty sure i applied to the computer science and engineering school, but where can i check? i cant seem to find it in my portal

@jasminemilktea Philosophy has an admit rate of 34.8% but only 221 students applied last year.

@Katen1 Yes, UCs generally like an upward trend in grades. It helps even more so if you explain how you grew as a person and improved yourself during that process.

@Katen1

I have been told UCs considered it, but I do not believe it.

My son had 3.4 in 9th, 3.6 or 3.7 in 10th, and 4.2 in 11th, but he was either rejected or waitlisted by every UC he applied last year.

@garrbage I don’t think you can see it in your portal. I think you should ask UCI once your admitted.

I didn’t get my email yet although my portal was updated on Friday, is that normal?

Ohhh Okay cool thanks!! @SmartGurl17

is Business Information as competitive as BA? I saw the link posted earlier for the admit rate per majors but UCI is quite unpredictable…

GPA isn’t the only thing they look at though. Just because he had an upward trend and got rejected doesn’t mean that that’s why he was rejected; it’s just a correlation. What were his SAT/ACT, his essays, and his EC like? @hoppy1

Is it easier to get in being OOS?

@SmartGurl17 UC’s in California gives priority to those in states

Can someone tell me if I’m able to declare a major DURING my first year as putting unaffiliated undeclared? Or do I have to finish my entire first year w/o a major first, then second year I can declare a major?

@Katen1 I know that but the admit rate is different for instate vs OOS- 35 vs 50.
