Admission Decision
Thank you for applying to UCI. After a thorough review of your application, we regret to inform you that we will be unable to offer you admission for the application term stated above.
Within our comprehensive review process, we take great care in the consideration of every application. Admissions officers thoroughly review each application and carefully balance many factors including but not limited to grades, coursework, test scores, honors and awards, work experience, community service, and leadership. We are honored to receive so many applications from such talented students.
Should you believe you have new and compelling evidence to support an appeal of your admission decision, you may choose to submit an Appeal to Selection Decision. You can learn more about the appeal process on our website. Please note that the deadline to submit an appeal is May 1, 2018.
For an appeal to have merit, it must bring to light new academic and personal information, as well as information pertaining to extenuating circumstances that had not been present in the application, and that clearly shows the student to be stronger than had been earlier evidenced. Please note: high grades received in the senior year, recently acquired awards, or an increase in activities are not a basis for the reversal of a decision.
If attending UCI remains your ambition, please consider applying to UCI as a transfer student. For more information about transfer requirements, please visit our transfer admission webpage.
We wish you every success in achieving your educational goals.
RIP
@nobiono - thanks - as a father my heart weeps for him, but deep down I know he is going to excel somewhere else as he has the potential - so do all of you - believe in yourself!
@darnwaitlist I don’t think I’m going to excel in a party school.
@bpop0702 What were your stats and which major did you apply for?
@darnwaitlist exactly!! you being there for him is exactly what any child would want. he’ll do great at any college he goes to! I’ve learned that it’s about your faith in your own ability to do well in college, not the prestige of the college.
…would anyone be willing to post a screenshot of what the portal looks like for rejected?
@SmartGurl17 party school does not mean you cannot excel. You work hard and you party - it’s only fair. Where are you going BTW? Anyone here going to Boston University by any chance? That’s what he is considering

@darnwaitlist I was hoping to see what it looks like on the portal itself, and not just a transcript? ah well
@darnwaitlist My friend got a full ride to BU (she’s going)- she has 1490 SAT and 4.3+ W GPA.
@brbimscreaming That is literally what it looks like. Once you log on, bam you see it and nothing else
Its just a letter saying you’re rejected in the portal. You don’t wanna see it, its pretty depressing.
@darnwaitlist are you planning to appeal ? You should call the admission office at UC’s and explain the situation and see if that will change the out come. There is no harm in trying to knock at each door for your child.
It was nice being in this CC thread, anticipating decisions everyday! I will miss the hype and anxiety we all shared.
@brbimscreaming CC you cannot attach an image - the letter I posted is what you see - someone else posted as well
