Re: UC Irvine 2011 Applicants
Yes, UCI is VERY close to the ocean, which seems to make all the difference. 4 years at USC with no A/C was death, but UCI has perfect climate. I personally live 2 blocks to the beach and work at a law firm in Newport Beach literally across the street from UCI on campus drive, and the A/C is never on.
Maybe I'm just used to the weather, but it really beats Ithaca, NYC, South Bend, and honestly most schools locations I'd be considering.

By the way, I talked to someone at Vista Del Campo regarding housing information. I was told he believes that the only place which has one bedrooms left is Puerta Del Sol. I applied there and VDC last week, I was told I would hear back within the next week or two.

Re: UC Irvine 2011 Applicants
Thanks for the help guys..
I will be visiting Irvine for the 2nd time on friday on a campus tour. I will also be meeting some of the admissions staff. As a waitlisted applicant, do you have any advice for my tour? How do I communicate to the Adcomms that I am ridiculously interested in their school???

Re: UC Irvine 2011 Applicants
It looks like as of 3 hours ago, they are officially accepting transfer students for fall. Maybe I read too much into things as another waitlisted student, but isn't this a bit late? This, along with offering increased scholarships to already admitted students makes me believe that they are really trying to avoid the waitlist to bolster their high median numbers.

Re: UC Irvine 2011 Applicants
Am I the only one reading the articles in the UCI Law Review right now? Because I'm learning a hell of a lot about why Chemerinsky and Irvine are amazing... Also, I'm learning that I don't spend nearly enough time doing my actual job.

Re: UC Irvine 2011 Applicants
I am fairly certain that the transfer students will have zero impact on the waitlist movement. They don't do anything to bolster or harm numbers to my knowledge and they, to my knowledge, are not eligible for the same scholarships. They accepted transfer students last year as well. I heard today that 89 SIRs have been submitted FWIW.jackwhiteiii wrote:It looks like as of 3 hours ago, they are officially accepting transfer students for fall.

Re: UC Irvine 2011 Applicants
Only 89, eh? Assuming a few won't come, since it's a free registry, that would make the class a little smaller than expected, would it not?

Re: UC Irvine 2011 Applicants
Last I heard from Dean C was 89 students have submitted SIRs and a few asked for extensions to do so. They don't plan on exceeding 100 students. So it doesn't look like there will be many offered spots from the waitlist based on that. I know some of the waitlists I was on last year (not UCI) were waiting until after the 2nd deposits were due at most schools before they made many offers off the waitlist - they wanted a better idea of class composition before extending offers. I suppose it is possible Irvine is taking that approach. It wouldn't hurt to send Dean Austin an email expressing continued interest and asking if she anticipates making offers off the waitlist. You could call and ask as well.jackwhiteiii wrote:It looks like as of 3 hours ago, they are officially accepting transfer students for fall.

Re: UC Irvine 2011 Applicants
I'm sure as the summer melt occurs, several people will withdraw their applications for schools they feel are more prestigious or suiting to their situation.
As for not exceeding 100 students, I'm somewhat worried about this as a waitlisted hopeful, but am keeping in mind that the 2nd year class of 93 was originally supposed to be limited to 80.
A boy can dream, right ?

Re: UC Irvine 2011 Applicants
Jack I am a (very) hopeful waitlister as well. From what I understand they have decided to not take *any* stat hit - I have a feeling they are going to confine the class any way they need to keep their stats.

Re: UC Irvine 2011 Applicants
Jack - at ASD, I think they said the second class has 83 students, not 93. The idea is that the class goes up roughly 20 students a year, with the first class being 60, the second around 80, and then the third between 90-100.jackwhiteiii wrote:I'm sure as the summer melt occurs, several people will withdraw their applications for schools they feel are more prestigious or suiting to their situation.

I think it's barely considered Newport - it's only 5 minutes from the law school, but Newport nonetheless (about 2-3 miles from the ocean)! Though you can expect me to be studying on the beach as much as possible.jck4487 wrote:I honestly don't remember - about 2 months ago, I think.pimpsdontcry wrote:Might I ask when you applied?jck4487 wrote:Yep, I have.

Sent my second and final desperate LOCI to Irvine today over nighted. Supposedly they are going to start deciding the 15ish seats they are giving out to waitlisters.
Fellow waitlisters speak up if you get in!
