UC IRVINE Fall 2020 Transfer Thread

lol yup me too. Those things are always tailored more to the freshman admits

I tagged for bus econ, and admitted for business administration?? what??

My major was changed as well after I got my acceptance letter
 really hope this is just some kind of mess up and not a deception

@RiddledRaccoon if this is on purpose, thats super mean and I will appeal for a change

Just talked to someone on the UCI chat on the website and they said my second option is the option I was admitted for. Even though it said my first option yesterday.

does anyone know what “freshman waitlist” means? is that bc i’m a freshman right now trying to transfer, or is it a waitlist for incoming freshmen?

Please share why you are leaving UCSB!

Is this confirmed? I spoke to someone from UCI and they said that the major that is showing is the major you are admitted for but when I told them that I was originally admitted as nursing but now it’s showing as biology they told me they’d look in to it and follow up via email later. I really hope this is all a mistake because I was so excited. :frowning:

The UCI Chat thats at the corner of the screen is just automated answers. Since this is a complicated issue, I emailed admissions couple minutes ago and they have yet to respond

You can connect with a real person on the chat and talk to them. They told me that my major was now my second choice.

I emailed admissions earlier today and only got an automated response from them.

I received an official follow-up email saying that that “Due to a high volume of competitive applicants we received this year, we were unable to admit all applicants to their first choice major listed on their application.”.

Wow.

Its so stupid! They should’ve accepted us in our second option during the first time rather then give us false hope

I did the same thing and got a similar response tbh. I’m still going to wait for an official email communication because it’s possible these people don’t know everything that’s going on. And if this is true, that is a major disappointment because they misled us to think we were being accepted for something we were not.

Congrats on at least having Info as your second major, that was my first choice major, but not anymore I guess.

Exactly I am very disappointed with their job.

I saw I was admitted for Bus Econ major as my portal showed yesterday, but today it shows Business Administration which is my second option and more competitive than my first option. It’s so weird.
I feel this is a mistake.

same here!

Here is what they told me:
"When decisions were released, there was a delay in the accurate major reflecting in your portal - what you saw was the primary major you applied to, not the major that you were admitted into. The current major you see in the portal is the major you are admitted into. "

Wowwww
 I was really hoping for the first major and I was so excited that I got into that major
 This is so sad What is wrong with their system

Hey,

After I received an automated response, a representative got back to me today regarding that:

“The Freshman Waitlist as an error in our text. You were indeed offered the Transfer Waitlist. Thank you for your inquiry.”

So that’s good news haha
