Has anyone actually received a rejection post secondary?
 
For those interviewing this week, have you been able to find your "UCI Student ID Number" for that financial aid doc that we're supposed to bring?
 
Anyone else have a PRIME interview? I'm lowkey nervous about my formal Spanish. Ughhh
 
Any idea if this school is receptive to ITA emails?

You can try, but based on friends' experiences in previous cycles, they generally just take a long time to get back to students. For example, one friend who's currently a student there sent in her secondary in July and didn't interview until after January.

Okay, so by sending an ita, it wouldnt hurt to try right? Bc i will be doing a long distance trip 3x in the span of 3 weeks so would be great if they can let me know.. 😳

I'd call to see if they accept it. If so, let me know...maybe I can drive down to orange county and tell them i'm in the area haha
 
Rejection just now. Complete 7/29. Good luck to everyone else!

Thank you for sharing. And I'm surprised of your rejection because your stats should be competitive for theirs. I wish you luck!
 
Sorry if this is a silly question but anyone get the document request form asking for state ID and social security card before interview? I'm confused if it means we need to scan a copy of those docs and paste them onto the paper or they just want the individual physical cards present. Directions were not clear and I tried calling.

I put the documents on the paper and scanned it all together. The directions were not very clear but it did say to bring the completed form to interview day, so I am guessing it means the form with all documents scanned on!

I called and they said scanning is fine. I’m bringing the original copies with me just in case though along with a blank form. My scanner makes the documents look fake lol
 
Was rejected earlier today. Funny, because I got interviews at way better schools i.e UCLA/UCSD/Pitt/Yale, but this one didn't love me at all. Admissions is a black box.
Maybe yield protection honestly...who knows I've heard of similar situations from past students
 
So still didn’t get a secondary yet... do you guys think it’s worth calling the admissions office? I submitted my primary like the first day lol

I think so. At worst, they'll just not give you one, which is where you're at.
 
yeah i got an II about a week or two back. from what they say on their website it seems like as long as you don't start swearing up a storm during the interview you should be fine
Haha, I said "ponte a trabajar!" in the context of our conversation relating to a story I was telling, that was about it jaja. It went very nice! I fell in love with UCI. I want to go here so badly now!!!

I believe in you!
 
anyone get an interview recently or know what dates they're on? dream school not gettin back to me 🙁
 
Got my first R. Complete 7/29. Pretty bummed, but knew it was a reach. LM 67. Maybe they would have taken me if I attended UCI for undergrad.

To those who got II or Rs, did your status ever change from "complete" to under review?

I just looked at my portal and my status stayed "complete", but in Admission Status, it's now saying "Not Advanced".

Sorry to hear 🙁 I’m sure you will have success elsewhere!

Did you receive an email or just check the portal and saw that status change?
 
Has anyone that was complete after 08/26 heard back at all about an II or an R?

I don't think they go in order. I knew people that were complete in early july last year who didn't get IIs here until after thanksgiving.
 
For those who interviewed, how was the experience? Was it as stress-free as past students noted? Best way to prepare for it?
