This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Is it time to give up now on getting a secondary invite? Verified 7/6. Considered OOS, but I attended UCI for undergrad and grew up in Socal, only moved about a year ago. 515/3.3/URM. Still havent recieved anything yet.
Yeah... I saw a couple secondaries went out in mid September, but I feel like they'd have sent it by now. I'm IS/518/ug3.4/g3.73/ORM, complete early September. Went to a SoCal UC for undergrad and grad school, lived in NorCal before that. Got secondaries from UCR, UCD, UCSD pretty much within 2 weeks. I wasn't expecting UCI to be the holdout....
Allegedly they do send a pre-secondary rejection email, but no idea what the timeline for that is. It would suck to not hear back until March.
 
Sorry for double post, but if you're talking about on the Status page of the secondary portal, then yes, that has also now appeared for me! Not sure when it appeared, but I used to just have a number-based UCI Student ID.
Hopefully a good sign, but more likely just an automatic process that happens after a while. I'll be answering a lot of spam from SoCal starting on Friday!
 
When did they mention we would be hearing back from their program post interview again?
 
How long did it take them to mark yall's secondary as complete?

I submitted my secondary + paid on 10/8/21, and they just NOW sent me an email saying my application is complete.

11 days later?? is that normal lol
and yes, all my LORs were in and received by the school by the time i submitted
 
CA resident here and I have not heard back yet but I submitted secondaries in late July? Anyone know any news about when we should expect to know our status?
Oh man, I submitted Oct 8th lol. I guess I wont be hearing back for a LONNNNG TIME then
 
Does anyone know what to do about sending update letters since they only allow 500 characters with spaces? I have several activities I wanted to talk about but seems silly to send like six different 500 character messages.
 
Do we know if they are going to call with As or send an email? Or both?
 
I never received even a “we received your primary” from UCI. It’s the only school I’ve heard absolutely nothing from. I’ve gotten other schools emails in my junk folders, but wondering if I’m the only 1 that’s been 100% ghosted or if it accidentally got delete? Should I reach out?

UCI did not send out a "received primary" email even tho some of the other UCs do!
 
How many waves of As have gone out already? is this gonna be the first wave?
None have gone out so far so this should be the first wave. We were told to expect decisions around "late october or early november" at my interview in September!

Oh wow! The suspense! Good luck! I’m sure you’re gonna get accepted!
 
Have not even gotten a secondary yet. IS and currently attend for undergrad. 3.5x GPA and 512 MCAT.

Wth?

There’s no way it’s in your spam folder??? That’s insane
 
nope I've checked, complete silence so far, I have received them from UCR, UCLA, and UCSD but nothing from Irvine

You got one from UCLA AND UCSD but not freaking Irvine?!

They’re saving the best for last, don’t trip bro . You’ll get it soon
 
Has anyone heard back regarding admission decisions yet (A, R or WL)?
 
Has anyone talked to the admissions office recently or have a guess as to when they'll start getting back to us? Loved my interview here and dying to hear back
