UC IRVINE Fall 2020 Transfer Thread

have they ever released decisions on a weekend? im literally so frustrated and impatient rn

i heard they did that in the past but i doubt that theyre gonna release it this weekend tho. the pattern this year is they’re gonna release at the end of every period of april (kinda doesnt make sense). first batch was on the last day of early april so im pretty sure second batch is gonna be on the last day of mid april aka monday.

does anyone know if uci wants all pre reqs done when you apply to transfer or if it’s ok to list them as planned and take them during spring before you transfer? are they picky about having them completed when you apply?

It’s okay if they’re planned

Omg I got h2h as well. I’m going to have to strongly consider Irvine because of regents as well.

late but in at UCI on 4/10 with regents and H2H!
didn’t tag but completed the honors program

why couldn’t they have just released it on friday, it’s already almost the end of mid April and there’s no way they’re not done deciding whether to reject or accept us

Hi everyone, I was wondering between UCI Paul Merage Business School and SJSU, which one is better?

Based purely on anecdotal evidence, Irvine is leagues better for Finance and Accounting and SJSU is a powerhouse for International Business and Operations/Management but has much worse brand recognition at top firms. Can’t comment on the Marketing or Real Estate majors but would assume both are much better in the Bay with FAANG offices on your doorstep.

uci knows that they are a popular school so they can play with our feelings and do whatever they want :smile:

@Hip2DaGame Thank You!

hello quick question. did any engineering/stem majors get accepted on last Friday with one missing required course?

@smallettuce @as4k3tchum also a nursing transfer as well! You two are the only ones I’ve seen so far :slight_smile:

I’m a tag applicant for bus-Econ to UCI. Honestly Uci has treated me so poorly through this process that I don’t even want to go anymore. Admitted to Berkeley on the 17th!

What happened?

Congrats to Berkeley though! :smiley:

Basically all the waiting, unclear dates, not getting my acceptance on the 10th even though I was a tag applicant and had the requirements, and still not hearing back now. Doesn’t really make me feel valued as an applicant

Hey everyone, I got admitted to UCI on the 10th for biology, but I didn’t see a financial aid/aid section on the portal. Has anyone that’s been accepted received aid from UCI? or knows where to access it?

https://www.ofas.uci.edu/content/ This is where you would check your financial aid. However they do say that they’ll begin awarding in mid-may.

if its not out by 5 pm im not expecting anything until tuesday. UCI seems to only release on tuesdays and fridays

nice to see another nursing transfer major!! are you applying anywhere else?
