Sorry, didn't mean late as in after the application deadline, just late in the cycle. I didn't apply until February 27th. With my numbers I'm sure I would have gotten in if I had applied back in Oct/Nov but I didn't even know about it at that point. Now it's going to depend on how many spots stay open. I appreciate the info from the luncheon, it's nice to hear what's going on since I haven't heard anything from the school!scantronix wrote:Aw you quoted me before my edit.
Anyway Dean Ortiz said that the deadline to submit intent to register is April 15th, but I don't know if they are waiting for that to admit more students or not. I *think* she mentioned that she got a new admit the day before the luncheon - I may be wrong, or she may be referring to a new confirmation vs. a new admit, I dunno. Not sure if they are doing an admissions freeze right now. She definitely said that the application deadline is being strictly enforced.

Re: In at UC Irvine
I went by the office on the 2nd (deadline I believe) and saw the front desk SWAMPED with envelopes... Yea I can see why the deadline is strictly enforced.scantronix wrote:Aw you quoted me before my edit.

*crickets*
What's the deal UCI?
Are they going to make all of us late applicants wait until after April 15th?
*sigh*

Re: In at UC Irvine
Yes, actually. I was told that decisions will be sent out around late April/early May. I've stopped expecting much from them... but you may want to call yourself and see what they say. Best wishes.

Re: In at UC Irvine
Thank you, that's helpful. I knew that deep down, since I know they're shooting for 60 and don't know what type of yield to expect. I just needed to hear it from someone else so I could let it go.jadedV wrote:Yes, actually. I was told that decisions will be sent out around late April/early May.

Re: In at UC Irvine
They only have a certain number of scholarships to give out, so I'm sure they're gonna be very careful in accepting more students (if any).
I wouldn't lose all hope, but it is kind of a long shot

Re: In at UC Irvine
Does anyone have an updated number regarding the number of people who have already accepted? The last I heard is 21 of 60 slots filled...

I havent heard of any extensions. I did hear that Dean Ortiz once said the deadline was firm at March 1. They already had well over 1000 applications by that point.madisonian wrote:Did anyone get the application deadline extended for them??

I kinda wish they made the deadline earlier, considering I don't think anyone who applied later than mid-Jan had any chance of getting in (correct me if I'm wrong).swheat wrote:I havent heard of any extensions.

Re: In at UC Irvine
On March 9th, Chemerinsky published an update about admissions and said: "The admissions process for the founding class continues. We have received more than 2,500 applications for the 60 slots in the first-year class. This is the best ratio of applications to slots, an obvious measure of selectivity, of any law school in the country. We have admitted a number of students, received acceptances from some, and are continuing to process a large number of applications. By every measure, the applicants are tremendously impressive and we will succeed in our goal of having an outstanding entering class of students."swheat wrote:I havent heard of any extensions.

That's an awful lot, even if a bunch were surely "it's free so i might as well apply for the hell of it" applications

Nope, just hopelessly wondering. I've pretty much given up on the school... April 3rd is only a week away and I haven't heard a word from them.Jwatson wrote:Did you finally get in?NoamChomsky wrote:Anyone going to the Admitted Students day on April 3rd?

Cheers to anyone going to Irvine! It takes a lot of courage.
I wonder if they'll accept transfers next year...

Re: In at UC Irvine
Those seem like numbers they would be interested in. I wouldn't be surprised if you got an offer the second round. When did you go complete?

I'm still hoping too. 173/2.64 LSAC (from very old history)/3.74 UG. Sent in the app pretty late, and got the acknowledgment e-mail 2/21. If I don't get in there, I'm waiting another year.

Re: In at UC Irvine
They mighta already stopped sending out the first round of offers by the time you went complete. That is a great LSAT score.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
