UC IRVINE Fall 2020 Transfer Thread

Yes it is a stressful time for everyone but if there were a delay it is important to keep students in the loop. I am sure everyone here would understand a delay during the current situation but to keep applicants blind does not seem like the right choice here

well said.

Every time I log in I see
ā€œThank you for applying to UCI!ā€ Me: oh am I rejected
ā€œWhat’s next?ā€
Me: nvm

Been like this for a week if anyone is willing to share some patience with me I think we need to ration some

@hoshizora WHY IS THIS ME I AM LAUGHING SO HARD ITS SAD LOL

i get a mini heart attack then get sad x)

i feel it in my bones that tomorrow is the day… i so hope we all get good news ;-;

I feel once I get the email I’m gonna be too nervous to open it lmao, like damn I’ve waited this long…but now I’m scared XD

I’ve heard the email doesnt come until a few days after your portal gets updated but im not sure.

Oh okay! That’s interesting if it does work that way too for UCI. Ik when I got my UCSC acceptance my email came a couple hours later!

Your update on the portal comes first then the email comes after. Idk about days but I got my email 2 hours after I had gotten my portal updated. I want to say about 99% of the students that find out is because they keep constantly check their portal

I guess the way I’m looking at it is…Is there really a delay? Isn’t it still early April? Did they make a definite statement that decisions will be released the first week of April or are we all assuming they would be based on past decisions?

@fulloffaithh i have strong tomorrow vibes too

When they posted the ā€œimportant announcementā€ on instagram saying decisions will be released ā€œin the month of Aprilā€, did they mean they’re not following the previously announced timeline anymore? The one from this website? https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/counselors/files/campus-admission-notificcation-deadlines-2020.pdf

Like they no longer promise early April decision for TAG, just any time in April?
I really hope they didn’t mean that. So tired of waiting!

I can definitely relate to the cabin fever thing though. I live on the bottom floor and I have a cat that sits in the window. Neighbors keep coming over to ā€œtalkā€ to her. Then they started bringing what presumably are other neighbors. I put a sign in the window that basically says, thanks for visiting but remember social distancing. They keep coming over with a gang of different people and I’m about ready to wallpaper the window so my cat has to use a higher window.

Being that it’s only the 6th of April, I assumed it’s still early April. I would consider this entire week is still early April. Next week, not so much. We’re in mid April by then.

Is there a reason why people believe it’ll come out tmrw? If it came out last year April 2nd, that’s a wednesday isnt it?

@maraccge There isn’t really a delay tbh, so long as TAG applicants know by the end of this week. Because after the 12th it’s not really considered early April anymore. I think honestly we’re just brimming with anticipation. And for me, being cooped up isn’t helping because I can’t really distract myself from the wait except with homework and Overwatch. But I’m distracted from my homework and games because I’m waiting to find out if I got in xD

And, personally, I’m pretty bummed about school being online and being stuck inside. I could really use a morale booster.

April 2nd last year was a Tuesday, so I think we are just assuming it’ll be on a Tuesday because that at least has been pretty consistent with UCI

last year april 2nd was a tuesday. In the previous year (2018), first wave admissions for TAG were also released on a tuesday, which is why a lot of people are guessing tomorrow will be the day

I just keep thinking why even bother making that insta post lol, don’t we already know decisions will be posted in April

@tinymango I’m with you there. I’m not thrilled about school being online. I need a little structure and I’m also distracted by the anticipation. I TAG’d UCI too. It would be nice if we got decisions earlier. I was pleasantly surprised when I got accepted to Santa Cruz because I assumed all decisions might be a little late given the present situation.

@maraccge Same here! I’m thankful they were early, kind of makes me feel a little better knowing I got into at least one UC so far.

And if you don’t mind me asking, what major did you TAG for? I tagged as a psychological science major.
