Damn you UCI

[El Jefe]

So I go out to check my mail today and lo and behold there is a big envelope from UCI. "Oh my God!" I thought, "could I actually have gotten accepted off of the hold list?" Sadly, no, they just sent me some financial aid handbook . What a bunch of jerks toying with me like that sending out big envelopes without acceptances in them (and financial aid forms without an acceptance ). Maybe they are secretly planning to actually accept me and just sending me this to let me know they are still interested :wink: .

I am a UCI undergrad. My roomate is applying for UCI graduate school right now. He also received a financial aid packet just a few days ago....but he just mailed in his application a week ago...
it just weird things that UCI do....

I interviewed just a couple of weeks ago and they told us that EVERYONE would be receiving this "big" envelope, and warned us not to get excited over it...needless to say I had forgot this little point right up until the moment I opened the letter - I too got a bit anxious.

 

[El Jefe]

Aww well they didn't tell me that when I was there in November. It was a good feeling for a moment.

that is cruel of them...but, maybe your acceptance letter is on its way too

They also told us that they would be sending this Financial Aid packet, etc. I also forgot.

You think that's bad, I'm an MSI at another school and UCI is finally sending me an update on my "UCI housing."

I just don't get UCI. I submitted my app in August, and they still haven't decided whether or not to send me a secondary. I did NOT receive any big envelope, nor did I receive a rejection. I have an interview at UCLA next week, so I just don't understand what's up with UCI. Does everyone receive this envelope, or just people who have interviewed?

No worries about not receiving the UCI 2ndary yet. UCI's been really*20 behind this season and thereby has frustrated many of us. I've got my secondary from UCI in December even though I had my UCLA interview requested in early November..... I was soo pissed and tired by then that it took me almost two months to complete & send it off. Oh, no big fat A$$ envelope for me. I guess it's only for those who have interviewed.

They let us know at the interview day that we'd recieve a big financial aid envelope.

The day of the interview they talk to us about housing and financial aid. They tell you that they will be sending a financial aid package out later for you to fill out. It really is a very short form with about 4 things to fill in.

They only send it to those that have interviewed and it is not indicative of how well you interviewed.
