Hi! I'm applying to transfer to UCI, and curious to hear from anyone else who is, too!
My overall GPA isn't great (3.5), but my science GPA is a little better (3.7ish). I have some work experience, 3 years full time as an EMT, and I'm currently working in the ED at UCI Medical Center. I'm hoping that will help my case since my GPA is sub par, but I actually have no idea.
Good luck, everyone!!

Good luck to both of you! Considering how crazy competitive this program is, being waitlisted is definitely a huge win! ?

I'm not sure how many people got accepted this year (haven't heard from anyone else so far), but I do know that only 7 out of 395 transfers were accepted last year so I would assume around the same amount were accepted this year but this value always changes!

That's awesome news. I actually emailed the Office of Undergraduate Admissions regarding this "myth" (if you will), and here is what they responded to me:
"All information on the UC application is self-reported. If students receive an email requesting unofficial transcripts, it's because there is something in the application that needs clarification, such as an incomplete grade or academic renewal."
I honestly don't think the UC requesting unofficial transcripts is indicative of anything
