Well if you’re waitlisted that means they want to accept you but they don’t have space so you still have a chance to go but if you’re rejected you’re rejected
ACCEPTED on 4/10
GPA 3.9 from a CCC and Major was psych
Hello Everyone,
These forums have helped me greatly along my transfer journey, so I wanted to post about my admission in the hope of maybe helping some future applicants.
Accepted @ 4/20 around 5 pm-ish (no email, just logged in to the portal around that time and saw my acceptance).
Major: Biochemistry (biological sciences). Non-TAG.
GPA after TAU: 3.84.
Major Pre-reqs: Missing Organic Chemistry 1 and 2. I was honestly expecting to be rejected, as these two courses are listed as required on assist.org.
Personal/subjective details: Raised by a single mother (father died at a young age), grew up in a very low-income household, lives in orange county.
ECs: I had very few ECs on my application, just some academic awards (Presidents list, etc.).
Essays: I would say that I wrote some very strong essays that included related personal stories and demonstrated mental maturity, which may have been the reason that UCI accepted me despite my missing some prereqs.
Applied: UCI, UC Davis (TAG), UCLA, UCR, UCSC, CSUF, CSULB, SJSU, SDSU, USC
Accepted: UCI, UC Davis (TAG), UCR, UCSC, CSULB, CSUF, SJSU

Is anyone having an issue with the admissions portal? Yesterday I was accepted as a nursing major but today it was changed to biological sciences without notice (I have screenshots from yesterday when my major showed I was accepted in to nursing). I tried to contact the admissions office but wasn’t able to reach them through both email and phone. I’m also unable to logout of my portal which is strange. Slightly panicking because I was set on going to UCI for their nursing school!!
I never posted my stats so I’m going to post in case it can help someone looking at this thread
Accepted at 4:50 PM, no email
Major: Criminology Law and Society

No TAG or H2H
CCC Transfer
Extracurriculars: Law intern for 3 consecutive Summers, currently work at a law firm, worked customer service for 4 years before that for my family’s business, created a criminal justice club, some service hours…
Essays were pretty weak, I was honestly so excited about transferring I wrote them a week before applications opened and submitted them the first day they opened lmao . I wrote about working for my family business full time, creating my criminal justice club and how it impacted others, and a sappy life story that was true.

Waitlisted.

GPA: 3.71
Major: Computer Science
Major Requirements: I think I did them all, although I might be missing one.
ECs: Multiple Software Engineering internships, jobs, and even had an interview for a full-time role at a Big 4.
anyone that’s been admitted, I’m trying to submit my transcripts and they’re only taking them online right now due to covid-19. The school I’m transferring from doesn’t use either of the 3rd party companies they use. They do use national clearinghouse which UCI use for their own transcripts! I’m not sure what to even do to get them my transcripts. I emailed UCI, but who knows how long they’ll take to get back to me. Worried this will disqualify me from admission
I am having the same issue as well. I was accepted into Business Admin yesterday and today it switched into Business Econ. Just left a message.
Same issue here. Yesterday I was admitted for electrical engineering and it switched to aerospace as of this morning.
Portal is updated (accepted at 5 pm yesterday) but I have not received an email. Should I be concerned? Was able to submit SIR and everything, just have not gotten any confirming email yet.
When do y’all think the next admission notification will be?
Same here I was accepted into DS major yesterday, but it was changed to Mathematics (2nd choice) today morning. I am so confused???
Does anyone know if UCI is going to be having classes online for fall quarter?
I was accepted to Data Science yesterday, and now the portal is showing Informatics (my second choice). Feel like its a mistake and might be fixed soon.
My portal is showing a different major too. So many mistakes…
Same thing happened to me! I will email them
