The UCI errors have me continuously losing faith in the UC system
Just a little rant, but the recent rejections of applicants who literally TAG’d UCI with all prerequisites met as well as the fact that there are a portion of UCI applicants who quite literally haven’t received their results yet is downright pathetic.
UC Irvine is considered one of the top 10 US public universities in the country, and within the top 30 of US universities alone. The fact that they have had so many errors in deciphering their admissions results is absurd. Mind you, this is not coming from an embittered UCI transfer reject. I applied last year and was accepted, but decided to stay in cc and apply to others as I didn’t see myself in Irvine.
The fact that a T30 US institution has accidentally barred qualified applicants from admission speaks volumes to be honest. I don’t doubt the fact that a good few applicants had missed necessary courses for their majors, but the fact that THIS MANY applicants who TAG’d UCI with all prerequisites and GPA minimums met is insane, let alone the portion of applicants who haven’t even gotten a response. This just exemplifies the many existing issues within the UC system.
At this point, I’m just wondering what colleges let me in by mistake or by merit. It seems that despite their high reputation, the UC’s admissions is gravely flawed, and as a result it’s causing hundreds of applicants stress and grief. I feel horrible for all of those who TAG’d UCI as their top choice only to be slapped with an erroneous rejection.
