2013-2014 University of California - Irvine Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
How long did it take you guys to get a notification email of them getting your primary app? I was verified on 8/7 but haven't heard a thing and it's the only school that hasn't sent me an email yet.
 
Congratulations!!! When were you complete??

Thanks! I was complete in mid July

Congrats Noggin! How long were you under review for?? And was it via status check?

Thank you! I was under review for a while. I was complete in mid July so I guess I was under review since then. I got no email about the interview. After confirming the interview I didn't get a confirmation email either. I guess they take care of everything on the secondary site.

Excellent news! Congratulations. It is a wonderful school and campus. I had the pleasure of recently attending the White Coat Ceremony as a guest and the faculty seem very genuine as well.

I am beyond excited about this interview! Thanks for the positive words! 🙂
 
I love this school! Looking forward to applying to the PRIME program!

I hope I can get a secondary with my 3.6 GPA, 28 MCAT. I have strong activities/work experience, not sure if URM makes a difference in how they view my application. I'm waiting to be verified still 🙁

Best of luck guys!
 
Just submitted my secondary!

Good luck to everyone!

I'm in the same boat, verified 8/7 but no secondary. I'm having the same issue with Brown Alpert

We got verified the same day so I'll let you know if I get one haha. They haven't even received my primary it seems. It seems like UCI and UCR are the slowest this year.

Verified 8/8 and yet to get a confirmation that they received my primary. Crossing my fingers for a secondary, would love to go here.

Just got my primary notification/secondary at the same time.
 
Still under review :/ I'm really really hoping to hear good news.
 
has anyone complete around first week of August heard anything yet?
 
Interview invite!!!! 🙂👍 so excited this is a top choice and close to home🙂
 
For the question "What personal accomplishment are you most proud of and why? ", would it be bad to talk about an accomplishment made senior year of highschool (winning a prestigious piano competition)?
 
Hoping that my alma mater shows me some love. Now just got to wait on my app to be verified -__-
 
I'm pretty sure the "Under Review" status doesn't mean anything. I just submitted my secondary and I have been "Under Review" from the second I clicked the button. Good luck everyone

I don't think so. I talked about something that occurred in my early high schol years. If it is your biggest personal accomplishment, then just be honest and talk about it 👍
 
Anyone been under review since forever? like since 7/13?
 
Okay, this is funny, 100 minutes after I post this I get an II from UCI! 😀

Complete 7/12, IS
 
Is the entire Disadvantaged Application page only for the people that marked disadvantaged in AMCAS? There's a lot of information to fill out on that page and I'm not sure if I need to do it or not...
 
Just received secondary today. AMCAS was verified on 8/18. I was really surprised that I got a secondary invite. IS, GPA 3.31. Low 30's MCAT. Does anyone know how many secondary do they send out every cycle?
 
Anyone know the statistics for the interview to acceptance ratio for in state applicants?
 
Hi guys, for the pre-req coursework section, did you guys include all the classes that satisfied the requirements?
Like for math, it says one quarter of calc and one quarter of stats is req.
I took 2 quarters of calc and one 1 of stats. Should I list all three or just two?
 
Don't worry, they send an email when you get an interview invitation. Got one today.
 
Do you guys think I'm at a severe disadvantage if I just submitted my secondary today?

Hardly even a slight disadvantage; it's still early in the cycle! Being on SDN and seeing the majority of the folks here submit their AMCAS the first week of June + already have interviews makes everyone else 10x more neurotic than they should be :laugh:

I would say severe disadvantage is if you get your secondary in later than mid September. Better now than next week, though 😛

Going to try to stay hopeful and believe that no news is good news then haha.
