<p>We got the email. My daughter knew right away that it was a mistake. But still was very sad</p>

5

<p>Her emal even told her she got a scholarship. Maybe there is hope. They did all her whole financial aid package.</p>

<p>Peeps, I wish your daughter the best and hopes that she is admitted! </p>

<p>It’s hard to bear when mistakes are made, even with apologies. Getting your hopes up makes it all the more difficult when you find out that it’s all for naught. </p>

<p>There is still time. In the meantime, make sure your daughter has a backup plan in place asap!</p>

<p>SIR’d at UC Irvine…thanks for the kind words!</p>

<p>UC Irvine is awesome! :)</p>

<p>What does she want to study?</p>

<p>business econ. Its been hard because not alot of good things are being said about UCI. Just today she was in class and some kids were talking and they were saying how strange it was that the really smart kids only got into the CSU’s and UCI. I dont know how to respond. No it isnt her dream school by any means, but why are people saying such negative things. Its really making me consider this school. We know it isnt a party school, we know it is full of asians, Actually, UCSD has more, but of all the UCs it just seems that nobody has anything good so say.</p>

<p>I just realized I was still on UCLA’s page…Sorry!</p>

<p>I work with high school students and very few of them got into UC Irvine this year. I think it sometimes seems like some schools are safeties from your high school because lots of kids get in - Irvine hasn’t been one for years!</p>

<p>Irvine does have a large Asian student population. So does UC Berkeley, UCLA and San Diego, too. </p>

<p>I think your kid will do great wherever she lands. Keep us posted!</p>

<p>This is somehow Dan Guerrero’s fault. I say fire him now!</p>

<p>@Samurai----Thank you…I dont know why this has been so hard??? and @nataznguy===Who is Dan Guerrero? admin at ucla? :)</p>

<p>Dan Guerrero is the athletic director. He is the person whose basically lead the key (note, key) UCLA athletic programs into the toilet with the hirings of Rick Neuheisel and Ben Howland.</p>

<p>As for Samurai, how’d you get 2 billion posts?</p>

<p>I don’t have two billion posts.</p>

<p>While it would be cool, it is some sort of computer glitch. It has happened to multiple posters on this board. I have had a couple of math geeks explain it, but to me it sounds like “blah blah blah”. ;)</p>
