2014-2015 University of California - Irvine Application Thread

Members don't see this ad.

I was working on my secondary and was a little confused about the Chem portion of inputting classes.

My undergrad school was a quarter system but the UCI app says to use the semester hours listed on the AMCAS app. So for one quarter class, it listed it as 4 credit hours./(semester hours?) on the AMCAS app.

The UCI secondary app has 10 spots in the Chem section so I listed
Gchem A, Gchem B, Gchem C
Ochem A, Ochem B, Ochem C
Gchem Lab B, Gchem Lab C
Biochem

It says to include one year of lab classes but I need one more space to do that (3 quarters = 1 year and I listed the quarters with the semester hours).

I may be over-thinking this, but could someone help me? Thanks for your help!

i tried to look for it on the secondary, but i could not find it. did i just miss it?

You can find this info on the instruction page, I think....

Anyone from the 9/15 interview date remember what Dr. Peterson said about decisions? I vaguely remember end of October but am not sure if she meant that we would hear back at that time or before then...

I assume if you interviewed a month ago you'd get it around 10/15...

Hmmm... I was there the first day (late August) and she said "around Halloween." I don't know if they have a better idea of their admissions timeline now, but I'm not holding my breath for an Oct 15th release.

At any rate, when the decisions come out this thread will explode. And now we must sit and wait.... (Good luck to everyone awaiting interviews or post-interview decisions! ).

Thanks! Yeah I remember it being a bit later than the 15th but was just wondering if she had said something about it possibly being sooner. Anyways, good luck to you too!

There's a chance that acceptances will be released earlier this year since they started interviews on Aug. 26, which is earlier than previous years

 

[TheBoneDoctah]

Rejected last night pre interview.

 

[exitonly29]

Rejected last night pre interview.

Mind sharing when you were complete?

 

[TheBoneDoctah]

Mind sharing when you were complete?

July 21.

 

[4563728]

Have there been any interview invites recently? It seems like they haven't started with any august applications...

 

[CRAR5102]

Decisions coming out tomorrow?!

 

[swimfishy]

Decisions coming out tomorrow?!

What makes you say that?

 

[CRAR5102]

Just speculation from last year's timeline (and wishful thinking)

 

[bouncebackagain]

II for 9/29, Lizzy M 65-68, IS. Complete 7/23. Anyone else PRIME-LC? Not sure what kind of questions they will be asking for the Spanish interview...

Hi, can you tell me what M65-69 means? Everyone has been throwing out numbers and I'm puzzled lol

 

[technolize]

That's a LizzyM score which is 10 * GPA + MCAT score. A person with 3.5 GPA and 35 MCAT has a LizzyM score of 70.

 

[Osteoth]

So anyone called to ask about decisions from early interviews yet?

 

[Gordita]

Anyone else sitting in a very long period of silence? I've been complete since July..

 

[Zaynecarrick]

Yes, though lately, I've been preferring silence to the more recent activity of the wrong kind.

 

[Gordita]

That's true. I've become a little addicted to the rush of receiving II's though, I want something [good] to happen 😛

 

[oogachaka]

UCI, I love you, but this silence post-interview is rough..has anyone heard anything at all?

 

[Storph]

UCI, I love you, but this silence post-interview is rough..has anyone heard anything at all?

Nope, nothing yet. She did say at our interview that we wouldn't know until very late October or early November, so hang in there!

 

[katefromlost]

When was your interview date?

 

[Storph]

When was your interview date?

I interviewed on 9/15

 

[CRAR5102]

Yeah on the 8/26 interview day, she told us that we would know latest by Halloween

 

[technolize]

Does anyone know how many interview dates were given out so far? From what I can see there was 1 in Aug, 2 in Sept, 2 in Oct (?), and 2 coming up in Nov.

As per the interview hosting page, these are the dates available throughout the year:

• Monday 8/25/14
• Monday 9/15/14
• Monday 9/29/14
• Monday 10/20/14
• Monday 11/10/14
• Monday 11/24/14
• Monday 12/08/14
• Monday 1/12/15
• Monday 1/26/15
• Monday 2/9/15
• Monday 3/2/15
• Monday 3/16/15
• Monday 3/30/15
• Monday 4/13/15
• Monday 4/27/15

I'm not sure what days have been filled this far, but judging from their timeline UCI is not even halfway done with interviews. There ought to be plenty of action still to come. Good luck!

👍

I'm certain the last few dates in mid-March/April are for WL spots only. I interviewed the last time around then and was told 0 spots available. Here's hoping an interview comes sooner.

 

[hellanutella]

All righty guys, the calls are going out! 😱 Super thrilled and very grateful. I'm afraid I'm not the most expressive person on the phone, but inside I was screaming.

Interviewed in August, so I don't know if they're going out by interview day. Best of luck to y'all.

 

[oogachaka]

Just got the call! So incredibly excited, happy, and every other positive emotion. Interviewed in early September...Hope you all hear good news soon! If you have any questions for me, feel free to ask 🙂

Congrats on early acceptances! Hopefully my interview will seal the deal with UCI (my top choice school by far).

 

[Storph]

Accepted today!! First acceptance for me! I hope many of you guys get the call today as well. I forgot what she said we have to do right away though; I'm afraid I was a bit too excited to focus.

 

[katefromlost]

Had anyone received an acceptance from the 9/29 interview date?

 

[oogachaka]

I was also too excited to focus, but I am relatively sure she said we had to log onto our portal and follow the instructions on there. My admissions status hasn't changed yet so maybe once it does, those next steps will become more clear.

Edit: But, if someone else's experience is different, let me know!

I think she said the time-sensitive item was to accept/decline your seat in the class, which will need to be done within two weeks from the acceptance letter. My portal doesn't say anything either... nor would I expect UCI to be uploading info on the weekend.

Big shoutout to Dr. Peterson for making these calls on a Saturday! Congrats to all those who got their acceptances and best of luck to those waiting. 😀

 

[CRAR5102]

Congrats to the acceptances!

Does that mean everyone who didn't get a call yesterday (and interviewed in the first couple groups) is either getting waitlisted or rejected?

I would relax. I think they just take a long time to come out. They did interview like 40 people per group. I'm sure Dr. Peterson just doesn't have time to call each and every person in one day. Still super early.

 

[maxknux]

well I am still waiting for the interview. I submitted my Secondary app in 9/4

 

[FeinMS]

I am waiting since 7/15..

 

[Osteoth]

Any word from people who interviewed mid September?

 

[CRAR5102]

Just got put on the alternate list. No email, just checked my status.

Does anybody know the process/timeline for getting off the alternate list?

 

[dr.0ne]

bummer, got put on the alternate list too, no e-mail either...
the message online says we hear back late spring

 

[plainandsimple]

I just received an interview invite! I was complete about 7/30. There were two January dates available. 🙂

Congrats!!! What are your stats may I ask?

 

[plainandsimple]

Thanks! I was starting to think that I was silently rejected haha. I hope this gives hope to others who have been waiting since being complete in late July/early August. My stats are 36 and ~3.75 sGPA/cGPA.

 

[bis14]

At my interview someone asked about this, and they said that anyone on alternate list should wait until spring and then send letter of intent if still interested.

Interviewed on 9/29, haven't heard anything, no status change. Good luck everyone still waiting!

 

[maxknux]

Darn, Just got Rejected. Pre-Interview Step.

sorry to hear 🙁 when were you complete?

anybody else just have nothingg for the longest time? ive been complete since like the 3rd week of july and nothing

 

[pharmagesic]

The wait is killing me.

 

[Zaynecarrick]

The waiting is cool. The rejection (or the promise of one) is what is killing me. I'll wait until the day of first classes to hear as long as the news is good.
