<p>seirously??? Over brown, notre dame, etc.?
whoa
uci is totally a safety for me, i just dont see how its any good at all
if u have chp and so on then that obviously makes a diff</p>
<p>UCI with CHP is all the way at the bottom for me. below UCR even</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Not that either is bad, but do you really think that the world looks at UCR so differently. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>uci= safety for me. </p>
<p>it was ucla, usc,ucb, (tie between uci and cal poly)</p>
<p>i was rejected from ucla so im appealing.</p>
<p>uci = safety for my son too…</p>
<p>accepted to UCLA!</p>
<p>still waiting anxiously for Cal’s decision…</p>
<p>two schools:</p>
<p>first choice: ucla
second choice: uci</p>
<p>going to uci cuz i was rejected by ucla.</p>
<p>UCI was my safety. I got into SD which is my dream school, but now I’m having second thoughts for some stupid reasons, which if I say, many of you will criticize me for. but yeah…it might come down to a split between SD and I</p>
<p>UCSD was my first choice, UCI second, UCSC safety, and UCR mega-safety. Got rejected by UCSD and I’m not even gonna bother to appeal since my stats are pretty low for them anyway. Anyway, it’s off to UCI with me. :)</p>
<p>i actually also got into cal poly, ucsd, cslb, and sdsu but i knew that if it was between those schools and uci, i would/ and i am going to uci. the only school i would have gone to (over uci) if i had been admitted would have been ucla.</p>
<p>i got into UCLA and UCSD…but I’m going to UCI for CHP, WHAT WHATTTTT</p>
<p>The CHP is awesome. Get involved, and live in one of the CHP dorms your freshman year. And get to know yackityack! </p>
<p>My best friends to this day are all guys I met in CHP through classes and the dorms.</p>
<p>I can’t really say that UCI was a safety for me since, even though I’m from Southern California (Newport Beach, I actually lived about a mile away from UCI), I moved to Maryland and was considered an Out of State applicant. However, I’ve gotten into five out of the six UCs that I applied to (waiting for UCB of course) which are UCD, UCI, UCSB, UCSD, and UCLA. I was extremely surprised that I was able to get into five UCs, especially UCLA. My ranking for the ones that I’ve gotten into would be </p>
<ol>
<li>UCLA</li>
<li>UCSD</li>
<li>UCI, UCD, and UCSB tied</li>
</ol>
<p>UCLA has been my dream school for ten years. Even before I moved to Maryland that was the school I really wanted to go to. But if I get into Berkeley, I really don’t know what I’ll choose. Choosing between UCLA and UCB would be and extremely tough decision to make.</p>
<p>“UCI with CHP is all the way at the bottom for me. below UCR even”</p>
<p>how is that possible. I know that this is an opinion, and in my opinion, as biased as I may be, because I highly regard UCI, that just doesn’t make sense. I mean UCR is a great school, yes it’s the lowest ranked UC, but it still is a top college compared the thousands of other schools in the nation. But come on, UCI overall can never be that low. </p>
<p>Anyways, 90% sure Im going to UCI. I visited it before I applied and love LOVE it!
I also got into CalPoly SLo, UCD, UCSB, UCSC and merced. The other 10% is going for Davis, but I still need to visit that school.</p>
<p>Hello. i am a first year student at UCI with no regents or chp. i plan to apply to the chp program. my gpa is about 3.7. i applied to transfer to usc because i plan on going to a good b-school for my mba. i feel that a good undergrad would lead to good work and eventually lead to good grad school. i hated uci at first cuz i was rejected everywhere else except for sb and riverside w/ regents and whatever their honors program offers. irvine is not too bad, college is really what you make out of it anyway. hope that helps.</p>
<p>UCI was my dream school… so was UCSD… but when I got admitted to these two and 6 other universities, I decided to become an Anteater. There’s just something about Irvine that’s really appealling… other than the fact that they are the only school I know of who offer my major (Psychology and Social Behavior) :-).</p>
<p>UCI was my dream school from like…5th grade to 10th grade. After 10th grade I fell in love w/ UCSB and my parents fell in love with UCLA, but they both rejected me (even if I was accepted to SB my parents probably wouldn’t have let me gone because it’s too far away) so I’m an anteater now. I want to go to SD or LA for grad school though.</p>
<p>I’ll admit, UCI wasn’t my dream school when I applied. I didn’t really know much about it, but that’s mainly because they didn’t have big sports programs. Seriously, that’s the main reason young people know about colleges. All I really knew about UCLA was that they were really good at basketball in the 1960s and 1970s. All I knew about Berkeley was that they had that crazy football play against Stanford in 1982. </p>
<p>But when I got admitted, UCI seemed like the right place for me to go and it was. I also had acceptances from Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, USC, Notre Dame, and Brown. But the cost of UCI (full ride) plus the feeling that I would “fit in” there and not get lost in the crowd made me like it there. </p>
<p>It all worked out for me. I am at a top 15 MBA program right now and I didn’t have to transfer to USC to do it.</p>
<p>alicantekid, did you mean Irvine has a top 15 MBa program? or you going to go to one?
i’m just wondering because i’m going to major in econ, but I want to go get a MBA after undergrad and i don’t know if I should switch to the management major. And I don’t plan to stay at Irvine for grad school</p>
<p>what is CHP?</p>
<p>tastemyhypocrisy-</p>
<p>I am going to a top 15 MBA program (top 11, actually), but I did undergrad at UCI. So I’m saying that you can get to these places from Irvine.</p>
<p>There is no management major. It’s a minor.</p>
<p>sneak - CHP = Campuswide Honors Program</p>
