UNIVERSITY OF COOL IRLKIDS!!
did yall get the portal yet?
yepp
idts
i just got an email titled
Thank you for your application!
it says "The next email you receive from us will include instructions for activating your UCI Applicant Portal. Your portal is where you will find everything related to your application to UCI including any additional information we need from you, ways to contact your assigned admissions counselor, and upcoming deadlines."
yeah u'll get the email soon then
my mom went to uci
@coral spear did u end up getting ur portal info email?
Got the portal
Yooo pog anteater mom frfr
only typing so this shows up in the drop down bye
HELLO
@mint acorn
Removed your other one bc of this one
Yeah all of the UCs you made already exist
i didnt realize they had abbreviations
im too high for this
my apologies
can you change ucsb to santa barbara as well ples
i made that mistake as well
which major did y’all pick?
CS
picked swe i think
business econ
fuck penn?
rejected
im sorry
its fine honestly
fuck penn
yup fuck penn
need to write a loci
i think you can be happy you won’t be having the same alum school as trump
valid
nah
but trump is mr money bags
i wanna be mr money bags
/s
ramlord
lol Ram and Ran
CS (SWE alt)
.
i mean
itll probably be
like as hard as last year tbh
its kinda hard for it to get worse
and ideally less applicants than last year cause covid szn is technically over™️
i dont mean that in the virus is gone but like
that year where a ton of ppl took gap years and shit
ya
they aren't overflowing into the next cycle as much
wait
yeahh
did u use scoir?
send college list
cause im still sitting in bed
8/8?
based
i dont really like harvard
as an undergrad school
its kinda mid asf
like ofc its fine cause its harvard but also like no
thats true
harvard spends most of it's resources on the grad school programs
which are fire af
yeah exactly
harvard undergrad is kinda like
a PR front for its grad programs
LOL
oh yeah brown i didnt do cause i didnt have common app space
columbia is fine™️
and dartmouth is like not the best option for cs/engineering i feel
hi
hi ball state bank owner
ok
dead thread
No
UCs don’t track demonstrated interest
If you wanna learn ab whatever’s in the email, you can def feel free to attend
But it won’t earn u any points
Ok thank god
??? i should probably actually read the emails
oh they wanna teach me how to use the portal like i'm not already exploring the portal in and out
cs acceptance rate?
lower than 10%?
it was 8 last year
thanks I'll put that in my spreadsheet
yep
does uci boot you if you don't get into your major or are they nice like ucsd
oh as in admit to school
i think that only happens for UCSD's letters science school
or whatever the equivalent is
ucsd is like primary major --> alternate major --> undeclared --> rejected
ucla is straight up primary major --> rejected
uci's website seems to imply that it's like ucsd but i'm not sure
dude
i hope theyre nicer this year for real
apparently they have ~900 more seats for californians at every campus @toxic nimbus
for this cycle
idk what that really means though
acceptance rates are still gonna go down because more people applying
but i don't think they'll plummet like last year if you know what i mean
yeah
last year was weird
because all the gap year kids from pandemic hopped on for the ride
and other dumb shit
also fuck UCs for being test blind
here's my theory for last year
- uc's got cautious about overadmitting so they got stingier and stuck people onto waitlists
- gap year as you mentioned
- inflated gpa's from covid
yep
the last two should dissipate a little bit this time around
they now have to deal with incredible yield which sucks for us
this is great news for ucsd honestly
dude
they had to cut 9k spots over there last cycle
their WAITLIST WAS HUGE LAST YR
9 fucking thousand
😭
ucsd themselves claim that it won't get that much worse but we just don't know
the good news this year is that eighth college is now open for freshmen so that should alleviate space struggles a bit
yepp
standards are getting higher but to be honest, everyone is getting smarter year by year
does anyone know the CS acceptance rate of UCD
source: i made it up
exactly
hm
all reaches moment
nah cause if you look at the schools i have left

dead thread
Irvine or Davis for CS?
irvine
but its not like one is gonna destroy ur potential
both are great
and t30s
isnt irvine t20 tho?
ahhh alr
ok
UCI is like #26
mayhaps
and UCD #29
is think your looking at graduate CS programs
i was confused too
since i googled it and clicked the first us news link
but some kid here got so pissed and corrected me
he leaked the undergrad cs ranking
yes
then in that case i was correct
wdym
confused
oh okk
UCI Esports receives $50,000 gift from top video game streamer Pokimane
when you look at your financial aid status is it supposed to say “n/a” under “requested”?
like for fafsa
In the portal?
Mine saids that
everyone who got the email is autoadmit witb full ride , my dad is the dean of admissions
i feel like thats satire but i cant read tones😂
it was just an email saying they got my fafsa so😔
Yay
UCI BEST UC
oh that's what that means
i thought everyone was just putting those mbti things in their nicknames
huh
whats up irvians
yo guys this has to be a mistake right?
aint no way uci cse got a 100% admit rate 💀
Lmao what
this cant be right
hey Im not seeing cs on there but Im seeing this
oh wait I found it
strange
i'm pretty sure they will consider it
uci's website and official sources aren't clear but i can easily find people who were rejected nursing and redirected to their alt
The only correct UC tier list!
Shouldn't ucla be in instant commit?
how is oos easier than in state
I feel like that list has errors cuz it seems weird
bad news
its a slight increase
irvine's just rising in popularity a bit
i wouldve picked irvine over sd in a heartbeat
similar
it's a bit mind boggling to think about
one hundred thousand applicants, all clamoring for a coveted spot
Fr?
wait they're out
no way
my portal is still showing application recieved
should i contact them
My portal is not even showing this 💀
All I see is thank you for applying
does uci always do early batches of acceptances like they did last year or is that rare
uci isn't coming out yet isn't it
no but if they follow a similar pattern as last year, an early batch of acceptances will be released the 10th
bro u didnt have to give me a heart attack like that
I always thought it meant serious 💀
i want
uci
when are decisions going to / speculate to come out (ping me when replying pls)?
wtf i dont want to study law
Right
My mock trial coach used to lecture there lol
is that any sign or nah
No
i didnt even apply as a law-related major, i still got that email
so imma assume no
with UC's, there are no signs
i heard there were 200,000 applicants to UCs
is that spread across all the schools tho?
200K unique applicants
not doubles
since all the UCs are under 1 app, they prob just counted all the apps
how many unique applicants last year?
bc i know ucla gets like 100k apps a year
LMAOOO
I GOT THIS TOO
i panicked for a seconddd
when i got it lmao
Is UCI coming out this Friday
What did the TikTok say?
Some girl said it’s coming out this Friday and USC early decisions came out yesterday
Which I was like??? So I had to check a2c and no one was talking about it
Therefore I deleted TikTok’s
Stupid ass music app
Well uci hasn’t formally announced anything
Ig some early decisions had come in early march last year for uci
Looking forward to having y'all on campus!!
uci has the best surrounding area from all the ucs lowkey
yeah and the best roads
💀💀💀
legit not a single pothole exists in irvine
Lots of great food places too
I've heard that Irvine is kind of a quiet town
it is
With nothing to do
?
cool big mall
Damn if I go there I'm gonna be bored
and good food
not relaly
its close to good cities
such as new port beach, there also anaheim with disneyland, andl ike an hour or something away is san diego with lots of shit there too, and like los angeles with an hour and half distance probably
quiet and safe town
So nothing in the city, but nearly everything nearby
basically
for myaid document request, does anyone know the deadline for it?
do you ever go to Sgt Pepperoni pizza place right next to campus
The one in campus plaza? I haven't been there yet but I did get a chance to try it during a hang out with my coworkers at esports! I typically cook at home, but if I do eat out at campus plaza, I go to chicken house. They got unlimited black tea and surprisingly authentic food
yeah in the plaza! u gotta pull up sometime man
the pizza is fire
but i’ll have to try chicken house thank u
It smells great
a lot of uci students come in all the time
we do hella catering for ur sports teams too
I bet, it's right next to all the undergrad housing after all
mm i figured that’s what those buildings were i wasn’t sure
i try to avoid deliveries to campus it’s too confusing for me😭 so i don’t rly know where anything is
i just hope irvine accepts me ugh i love irvine
cs lolol
somehow rlly late but does that include second choice majors as well
bc i did cs for major but cse for second idk
Did you have to apply to the honors college?
no
lumehai hello
Is Irvine releasing this or next Friday?
based on previous results honors are suppose to drop this friday
while all other regulars are expected to release next friday
honors??
??sronoh
parents on collegeconfidential said irvine confirmed its normal decisions are out next friday
well counselors*
Do you happen to know how honors works at UCI? I didn't get any invitations to join officially but my GPA warrants honors and I'm in an honors program at my current college.
I got accepted to CSULA (likely going to pass), but they are inviting me to join their honors program (after the acceptance)
Not sure if that was something I had to apply to separately beforehand
Idk how honors work at uci
But i think they send u a email by this Friday if ur selected as a honors candidate
For sure. Thanks!
When will they release rd decision?
17th most likely
What is rd?
RD means Regular Decision
Ahh got it. Trying to keep up with all the abbreviations, lol. Thank you!
Yeah. ED means early decision and EA means early action
cc parents are a diff breed
they turn into detectives or something
Are A2C kids any different?

1,005 votes and 173 comments so far on Reddit
lmfao
here's the apology email they sent afterwards and not even by the guy who called students pathetic
Omg lol
Similar thing happened last year with a UCI professor abusing his CS students
Verbally of course lmao
How many ppl get into uci honors
I thought they said Friday? It is Thursday.
Yeah it’s Friday.
Supposedly
Im asking how hard it is to get into it
Lol I have no idea
in previous years how did the college notify people if they got into honors?
they send an early batch for honors
TOMORROW?
yeah for honors. Most people will get it next week tho (regular decisions non honors)
ohhh okay
internationals get this?
ive heard that Berkley anyways prioritizes in state students for honors/regents
might be the same for UCI idk
its given to top applicants no applying
I cant find it eitheer
hmm If its like berkley then its more hollisitc
im not sure tho
we will know tomorrow lol
irvine's coming out tomorrow too??
oh i see
do u have to do a seperate app for it or smth or auto consideration or wut
I think it is auto consideration from what I’ve read online
I was wondering, since I didn't see anything mention the UCI honors college
Yeah, I think freshman are auto considered above a certain GPA (likely >3.7)
I dont even have gpas in my school (intl)
I dont care about honors tbh, I just care cuz ik honors comes out tomorrow so if I get a decision tomorrow thats cool.
There’s also another honors program called honors-to-honors for transfer students
hence the hope lol
inch resting
interesting
how does no one understand what inch resting means first try
Ah
Because I read it as “inch” and “resting” and interesting is pronounced “int-ter-resting” lol
its similarish 😤
Next time I would hyphenate to show you mean one word
inch-resting
👍
btw your profile says junior, which major and uni if you don't mind me asking.
Just want to know, on the offchance its something from my list.
Computer science, I am currently at cc (Santa Monica College)
I believe so
o nice
I’m about to find out lol
Read above
figured, but still asked on the offchance you are one of the rare few people who stayed here even after admissions were over
Hope you get one of your top schools :D
smc is goated for transfers
One of the professors there was my interviewer for UPenn
yeah when do honors come out?
march 17 is gonna be scary
SMC is great
Get a 4.0, join the transfer alliance org, apply UCLA Math/Comp, dubs
possibly
that’s tough cuz im international lmao
hard to get that stuff
That’s ok.
Honors come out yet?
should be past 5 if it were to come out
I think like 5:20 or something last year
any minute 🙏
I’m so nervous rn
oh so we know its coming out today? like the honors?
will people be notified via portal or email first?
always check portal
okok
well last year it was a week before so
but was there any indication by irvine saying that it would be a week before
last year or even this year
who tf knows just check lol
I GOT IN
OMG
psych its not out yet
bye
💀
email or portal?
he said psych lel
nah he was joking
oh damn
😐
😭😭😭
thought he said he got in for psychology lmao
caused 15 deaths by heart attack
any minute now
yeah lol
Here I am just wanting to be admitted to UCI lmao
something telling me there will be no updates from uci today
would you like to consume a cactus through your hindside orifice
same lmao
Who’s psych
true
psychology majors
so many colleges
Gg
but tbf it was 5:20 last year
8 more mins then lel
so it may be a few more minutes
ucla and sd next week and uci honors if it doesn’t come today right
it would be strange for uci to move to like the 24th tho
waitt anyone get in honors?
regular i mean^
is honors out yet
3 minutes
Imagine it actually drops at 20
that would be insane
Or it already dropped and we have no honors
lmao
probably unlikely though
😭
yeah true lmao
We going to all give up and at 6 it dropped or somethin lmao
refreshing email like crazy
15 seconds!!!!!!11!11
Well I mean davis email came an hour late for me
lmao
yep
OMG
So ig Imma just not gonna worry abt it for now
the portal was exactly 3 tho
Oh that is tru
YOOOOooo
???
STOP PLAYING WITH US
Except honors didn’t say it was coming out right?
Trolls
hahahahaha
nah but if it wasnt dropping today then whyf they send me this email

boi what you doing in this thread
does that mean regular isnt coming next week
bruhhhhhh
idk lmao get gnomed
this shi gmfu
please I cant wait till the 24th 🙏

ripppp that means 24th
Nothing
that or they announce honors with regulars too
🙏 i need uci honors to come out today pls

they aren't releasing decisions this year!
you just show up to any class you want for free
Screw UCI for not providing any schedule for releasing honors lmao
fr
didnt that counselor on collegeconfidential who posted uc davis date say uci was confirmed for next week tho 
This was for honors
PURDUE does that
idc abt the honors here
mainly coz i didnt work for it
at all
but for something like schreyer
(penn states bullshit)
i would have been so angry
so bloody angry
did anyone apply to schreyer here
Bro 4 ppl from my school got in
youre from pennsylvania?
Ye
Did honors come out?
is international
Ahhhh
no it didn come out
for me its like getting into an ivy lmao. who asks for 11 essays and then admits 300 people worldwide
lmao
praying for irvine honors ngl
when Irvine honors gonna come out
Yeahhhh
Congrats tho!
thanks!
atp next week probably
the 17th is going to be crazy with the amount of schools that are coming out that day
idk why some schools dont release during the week
like a wednesday release would be great
for real I can’t wait another week fr
I just want every single college decision to come out rn
Tufts is at a Tuesday
did anyone apply informatics
I did CSE
did honors come out?
don’t think so
if they did someone here would have probably gotten in
We weren’t good enough
fr
when does uci come out
If i got waitlisted at davis am i getting rejected here
no its a lottery
probably next friday maybe
ive been reading up a bit and anyone have any idea when its coming out at this point lmao
most likely next week
The website says the date ranges
Will uci assign people as undeclared if don’t get into both of the first and alternate majors
or if you don’t get into the majors you chose you get rejected
they do alt majors but i have no clue whether you'll get undeclared if rejected from both
i wanna say yes but that's coming from the vague reaches of my memory
oo thank you
kk thank you!
Maybe
is 17th confirmed or is it just a prediction
they dont confirm so we just have to wait and see
All of these conversations are speculation lol. Month of March is supposed to be new students and April is supposed to be transfers. They didn’t specify exactly when.
!uci
the only good but irrelevent UC
bro im so nervous
does anyone know if uci considers you for your secondary major
Idk but it’d be weird to have you select a secondary major and then have that one not be considered right?
idk
i think UCI and UCSD admit by college first then by majors
like not as known as la, cal, and sd?
i can be wrongt
that is correct
then we are chilling
yeah, irrelevent aint a bad thing tbh, chill place
ahh I see
hmmm
yeah
We're not that well known
fairly respectable
but not exactly famous
I see what you mean
😃
Honestly, I don't even think UCSB stands out to me
I don't know what they're good for
sowhat does this mean
does this mean that i have no chance 😃
wait that doesnt rlly make sense tho
First, the school reads your application
yes and then
And decides whether or not they want to admit you to UCI
yes but isnt that based on major?
Nope
they have to look at the major tho no?
Yes
to see if it relates to ur ecs and stuff
I know it’s a Santa Barbara but every time I see the abbreviation, I think San Bernardino
No
They first check if you can handle the academics of UCI

Once they do that and decide to admit you, they send your application the the respective "school"
i.e, college of engineering, college of cs
same sb used to be the uc i always forgot about
do all ucs do that
Do they send to both first and second choice major school or just first?
I can only speak for UCI
now im scared they wont think i am not good
bc i have only taken 6 aps
whereas ppl have taken like 15
💀
thats fine
do yourself a favor and stop comparing yourself to others
whats ur major
the stress isn't worth it
how's UCSB?
tbh ur right
Uci admits to college first?
perhaps
cool

it's fun! don't regret coming here
first to UCI, then to the major
dead week kicking my ass though
that's good to hear!
dead week == week before finals?
Wait so like ucsd?
I don't know how UCSD admits, all I know is that first your admitted to UCI, then they choose whether to admit you to your major
if you're not admitted to your major, then you're admitted as undeclared
or perhaps as undeclared in the school of your major
zamn'
yep i got a paper to write due in 2 days that i have not been doing
💀 💀 💀
same
well
I have a paper
I'm taking my upper div writing class right now
this thing is so much more work than I expected
ngl, I never hear anything about UCSB
to the point where I've heard more about UC Merced
(They have an awesome hackathon)
I do know a UCSB alumni who coached me on my resume
yea the only thing i knew before coming here was party school LOL
How is stats and ds at sb
yea 😭 the schools trying to get rid of that reputation though lmao they shut down our college town for halloweekend
its pretty good i think, the classes are fine but the department is kinda ass sometimes
tbf, being known as a party school probably attracts an interesting dynamic of applicants
u know whats really funny actually
this sums up it up at UCI
my hs is a complete nerd school and like 40 of us ended up coming here
I mean, UCSB is still a super competitive school
it can get crowded but the sand has been all gone from the storms this quarter
i went in summer and some dude almost got hit by a rock that fell from the cliff
💀 💀 💀
it was not a big one
I'm glad they're okay
yea
yea people have died falling off the cliffs while partying
and the cliffs have been eroding so balconies can get unstable
LOL i dont think so
well i've never seen that happen
or maybe it was crab
people usually just surf or suntan or regular beach stuff
mightve been high tide when u went
yeah the water was at the staircase
oh yea definetly was then
surfing sounds fun but also scary
how far does the water go in low tide then
i wouldn't want to get a wave crashing on me
uhhh if i had to estmate maybe like 25 meters?
oh wow that's a lot of space then
what is the oos acceptance rate for UCI? i find a bunch of different answers online and don’t know which is right
literally if u go to uci its all internationals
bc irvine itself is an international hotspot
I kinda like that tbh
yes hopefully i get in as oos
international meaning chinese/taiwanese
its a funny gradient of vietnamese gathering north of irvine, chinese/korean/indian/taiwanese are in/around irvine, white ppl to the south of irvine
yep😭rich ass mfs especially those close living to lake forest
The closer to Newport the more white people is
and where most of the hate crimes happen
yea stay far away from huntington beach
the white ppl are all in the richest parts like south OC, newport, coastal areas
mostly real estate agents
SR133 is like a natural border its so funny
yup
upper OC
anacrime
theres a sizeable vietnamese population in westminister that i like but it starts getting very unsafe once you go around anaheim
south OC = safe and nice cities
north OC = 💀
tbf tho i wouldn’t call it unsafe it’s just shitty
terrible take
north and south both have shitty cities
disagree
newport irvine costa mesa laguna etc
hella nice
anaheim? santa ana? fullerton? pass
fountain valley, brea and huntington arent bad for the north
lowkey just avoid anaheim santa ana (tho they arent even that bad compared to actual bad cities) and oc is safe regardless
What does yield rate mean?
Amount of people who chose to attend out of those who were admitted
Ahh okay, that makes sense. Thank you!
zot zot motherfuckers I wish you all luck tomorrow
yes good luck 🫡
Huntington is sketchy
almost every house costs 1 mil+
House hunting is so fun
bro thinks huntington is strictly the beach
go 5 minutes inland and lmk how nice huntington is😭😭😭
Even more now
hi
Hi
Hey
will it release decision today?
Maybe
Will it come out at 3 pm est?
TODAY IS THE DAY (i hope)
