<p>Thats a dumb theory. Heres what it really is:</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/exception.html[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/exception.html</a></p>
<p>the site says to contact the admissions offices to inquire about it… but when i tried to follow up on that, they seemed annoyed. they stressed that admission by exception is at the school’s discrection and yadda yadda.</p>
<p>it’s possible, but it’s only going to happen if you luck into it.</p>
<p>when did you try to contact them? when u were a freshman applicant?</p>
<p>uhh true theory.</p>
<p>I seriously think it’s impossible to get into ucla or berk with a 2.0. But with an incredibly good essay with a 2.9, maybe…</p>
<p>Oh yeh i got my UCI notice if anyone is waiting for theirs.</p>
<p>Damn it! I havent got da UCI yet!!!</p>
<p>So, I know everyone is complaining that UCLA sends out absolutely no emails or letters, but how are they going to inform us of their decision? Through snail mail (U.S. Mail)?</p>
<p>yeah, that sounds about right lol</p>
<p>GOt into UCI, ANthro major, 3.21 gpa.</p>
<p>congrats!!!</p>
<p>has cal ever released decisions BEFORE the said date?</p>
<p>Does anyone know anyone that transferred into Cal even though they were above the unit cap of 80 units from another UC just prior to entry?</p>
<p>I guess I’ll have to wait till tomorrow for UCI decision.
I dunno why I still haven’t received my decision.
If it’s rolling basis, my decision should’ve came out already (since I submitted my application 5 minutes after it was open)…</p>
<p>I’m starting to get nervous… :(</p>
<p>mojo - i called this year. when i brought it up, they asked my situation, and i explained: “i’m oos. i haven’t completed all of the prereqs for my major, but that’s because i’m technically in my freshman year of school… but since i’ll have like 67 credits by spring, i’m still a rising junior. i have a 3.8, probably closer to 3.85 by spring, very involved, etc.”</p>
<p>i called ucla, ucb, and ucd. ucb and ucd were much more encouraging. their responses were more or less the same: “just depends - apply this year, since you’ll be over the 80 credit limit by next year. keep your grades up. work on prereqs during the spring semester. send in ap scores because you might be granted credits that count for prereqs. admission by exception is a possibility, but it’s a longshot for all applicants. if you aren’t admitted this year, it’ll be because of the prereqs… so you can just apply again next year.”</p>
<p>ucla was basically like, “if you’re not eligible, you’re not eligible. i don’t know what to tell you.”</p>
<p>Just curious, does UCI start sending out the admission notification from the applicants that apllied earlier in last november?</p>
<p>No it does not go by who applied earlier</p>
<p>I got accepted to UCI!!! I wish… ganna check it tomorrow 9am.</p>
<p>hahahah. Hey does anyone know how is the business econ program at uci? I know it’s new but i dont know if a lot of bigger firms go there to recruit. Also, does anyone know if they have a good recruitment system(internships, full-time etc).</p>
<p>If you want a good recruitment school for econ/business, don’t go to UCI. It is very hard to get a good job out of there in the business field unless you have loads of work experience/internships.</p>
