Do you have the extra money? Are you already accepted to another school? Personally, I wouldn't if I am already in somewhere, even if I did have the extra money, which I don't lol
I emailed and asked. They said make sure your FAFSA is in and then you can start sending in transcripts as well, if you're sure this is where you're going (so you don't have to do it twice). You can also do the institutional financial aid form.

I believe they do.
I think its def worth doing if you think you are a good fit for the school. Just get your secondary in ASAP. They are interviewing into march as well.
This would be a surprise to me. I applied two cycles ago (2017-2018) and they rejected me pre-II in September (complete in July). This cycle I was complete 9/20 and have heard nothing so far.
Edit: Surprising that they haven't sent pre-IIs yet
They have sent pre-II R's. If you search "pre-II R" in the thread history looks like the only round was in Nov

Thank you for your response! Have you heard anything else about financial aid aside form submitting your FAFSA?
There’s an institutional form as well. If you log in to the MyAid on the financial aid website, you can see what you need to complete. They also send an email when they pull your fafsa. It has all the details in it.

Does anyone how much weight UCI places on VITA? I am a little nervous to take my VITA tomorrow
I did not feel super confident about mine and I got accepted. This doesn't really answer your question, but I hope it helps.

Congrats on the acceptance first of all!
It definitely helps! I hate having to talk to my screen because it's not a natural conversation so that's what's making me nervous 🙂
Really appreciate the insight!
Would you mind telling me what your interview experience was like with the faculty and student? you can pm me if you want to

quick question for those that submitted a letter of intent update - how did you do this in 500 characters? i guess just keeping it very straightforward in a couple of sentences?
Pre-II R on a Friday night. Complete 8/22. IS. I submitted multiple updates. Good luck everyone!
March 8th and a date in mid april (I was so fast to click the march date, that I don't remember the exact April date. Now that I have clicked the 8th, I can't view the other date- I'm so sorry🙁 )
Thank you! Best of luck to you too🙂

Does anyone know if we need to submit the identity form from UCI financial aid before our interview?
I would. They definitely like it early.
Hey y'all just wanted to provide an update. I submitted the secondary. I'm not expecting for much because it's so late in the cycle, but I'm honored to even be considered. I'll keep yall updated!

Received an email earlier today saying I was placed on the alternate list. Interviewed 1/25-26 for the MSTP. Hopefully there is more movement this year than in those previous 🤞
Ok so what if we dodged the pre-II R last week but didn’t get an II either ? only a matter of time until another R wave? do we think II’s might still be sent out?
Hello everyone,
In the letter of rec portion of the portal, my "Received by Admissions Office" date is very recent, but I have not updated my AMCAS application.
Does anyone have an answer or hypothesis about this?
I am trying to read non-existent tea leaves. 🙂

Just checked and mine also shows that. I think this happens to everyone still waiting, unless someone proves me wrong.

It probably doesn't mean anything. But UCSD said that they would review my app again in mid-Feb after placing me on an interview hold. The received date of my LOR was updated to 2/19. So maybe it does mean that they are looking at our apps again.
Just checked and mine said 2/22. Previously (1 week ago) it said 12/30/2020. If I had to guess, it changed for everyone or many people and doesn’t mean much. They interview until April so they are still reviewing apps and handing IIs but there are too many of us on sdn that had our LOR date change to 2/22 to all get IIs. I wouldn’t look into this.

I don't believe that it means much (but i could be wrong) because I interviewed here this week and even my letter of rec date on the portal says 2/22/2021.

Surprisingly got an II from here today. Complete 3rd week of September. The only date I saw was in April, but it does looks like there are still some going out (am gonna turn it down so hopefully someone else gets it instead).

VITA is only requested after being invited for an interview. So if you get an interview invite, the VITA invite will follow.
Oh okay, thanks! I've heard of some other schools sending the VITA out as a precursor to the actual interview, so I wasn't sure if Irvine did the same
