UC IRVINE Fall 2020 Transfer Thread

College Confidential is not letting me post links but you can google: CaCollegeTransfer Admission Notification Dates for UC Transfer Applicants 2020

also a 2nd bacc student, also EE, also still waiting lol

I asked an admissions officer when second Bach applicants should expect a response. This is what they said.

" We are working on rolling out admission decisions for second baccalaureate candidates. At this time I do not have a date as to when they will be released. The delay may be due to all second baccalaureate candidates being subject to the approval of the dean or director of the UCI school or program in which the second degree will be earned. "

Thanks for the info. It’s weird, I couldn’t find anything from/about 2nd baccs on the 2018 or 2019 threads. Didn’t realize we were such a new phenomenon.

Hey I sent UCI an update regarding my course plans and they responded with
ā€œThanks for the update. 2nd Bac decisions have not been released yet. They will be released within the next two weeks. Take care.ā€

This may be a super stupid question but when do we get a UCI email account for school communications? I have not received my welcome / admit package yet, maybe instructions are there?

I keep seeing that people are getting switched from their first choice major to the second choice major on their portals. I actually wanted to switch from my first choice (Business Economics) to my second choice (Business Admin). Does anyone know if thats possible?

It won’t be the in the admit packet I got mine and it’s just a letter with some stickers and a #FutureAnteater poster

I’m not sure but on the EECS department website it says CSE is part of both schools and it’s an interdisciplinary study major so I’m not sure how that comes out

Hi guys, now my financial aid status shows ā€œYour financial aid award is currently being reviewed. Your updated award should be available within the next fifteen days. If it has been more than fifteen days, please contact our office at (949) 824-8262.ā€ Does anyone else have the same thing?

Hi guys!
I just made an account to let you all know that I have received my financial aid package. I haven’t seen anyone post anything so I thought you guys should check. I didn’t get an email but I saw it on their website!

Mine’s updating too! How’s your financial aid package? Is it good?

@MISSJOEY Yes! I got the UCI Grant, it shows its from the regents scholarship but I’m not sure if it’s the same thing? As I didn’t get it on my acceptance so I’m not sure.

Hey guys I have a question. Is the blue and gold opportunity grant counted as part of my ā€œinstitutional grants?ā€ If so, since I have qualified for the blue and gold opportunity grant, I won’t be able to receive any aid from my cal grant A right?

I was previously waitlisted, but just got an email telling me they wanted me to submit my SIR via the admitted students portal.

My SIP is not showing on my portal either.

What is happening? How can I check if I’m waitlisted or admitted?

@Hip2DaGame That’s so weird. You should definitely contact the admissions office. Maybe it’s good news!!!

Damn I think I finally got in today because they messed up my TAG. I got an email talking about scholarship info for future anteaters and my portal is down

I also got an email a few days ago asking me to SIR even though I was waitlisted. Well I checked the portal again today and I was accepted! Very surprised, because I’m definitely on the low end for Irvine Business. But I’d recommend anyone who’s waitlisted and got the SIR email to check your portal because you are likely in.

I just got off of the waitlist and got in as a Business Admin major. I was also accepted into UCSD for Management Science at Revelle. Business Admin at UCI is superior than UCSD Management Science since UCI has an undergraduate business school attached to it. I’m currently debating between whether which one I should go to…

Well, I think you already said where you should go.
