UC IRVINE Fall 2020 Transfer Thread

Either way, glad to have made it into the school of engineering :slight_smile: !

Ahhh I’m the opposite where I’m taking 1 major req and the rest are additional electives, recommended courses or whatever they’re categorized as

Correct me if I’m wrong, but now there is a transfer waitlist and a freshman waitlist right rather than transfers being put on the freshman waitlist based on the waitlist message from yesterday right?

was there a gc made for admits??? can someone add me to it LOL

So I’ve had a weird experience too but I don’t think anyone has said anything about it on here yet. I applied for tag w a 3.6 for bus Econ and got put on the freshman waitlist like some people previously said. I also don’t see any indication of what my major is or what I applied for. I remembered there being an information tab along with some other tabs next to the home tab but that’s not on my portal anymore. Anyone else have this happen?

I don’t know if anyone would know but I’m super curious I also got wait listed yesterday, the only thing is I applied as a nursing major with no alternate major. Does that mean I’m on the wait-list for nursing? I’m super confused because I would think they would have just straight out rejected me, I didn’t think nursing had a wait list.

Hi there! Do you mind if I ask you for your stats? I also applied for nursing :slight_smile:

Hey yeah my GPA was at like a 3.89 and did volunteer work at hospitals. What about you? Also were you admitted to the major?

My GPA was around the same as your’s and I also did volunteer work at a hospital over the summer. Sadly I got rejected :frowning:
I guess I’m just trying to find out why at this point but all I’m hearing is that it was super competitive this year but I haven’t seen anyone who got accepted into nursing on this forum yet. I wish you the best though!

So I had this same question because one of the universities I attended in the past does not do electronic. Basically, the admissions rep told me that I could request the transcripts from that school to be sent to me directly. Leave them unopened because once you open them they become unofficial. The rep said that they will update our portal in May to give us instructions as to how to get those transcripts to them. Hope this helps :smile:

Yeah I haven’t seen anyone accepted either, I wonder how many people they accepted this year. I also heard that other nursing schools are not admitting as many due to limited clinical sites because of the virus. Are you going to reapply next year? I didn’t have a plan for this upcoming year if I didn’t get in lol uggh stresssfulll

Thank you so much! Although my school isnt mailing right now so I’ll just have to see what happens in may!

Sorry that last comment I missed quoting this haha but thank you

Hi everyone, I’m super late to the party. I was so annoyed on Monday that I decided to take a nap around 4pm, woke up around 8pm and realized I had an email from UCI with updates on my admissions portal.

I’m happy to report that I was admitted to Criminology, Law and Society :smiley:
My major did not change to my secondary major after admission, so I’m relieved about that.
