DisneyLeith Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Did other people get a couple emails from them prompting us to create a login ID account and also check up on the status of our financial aid materials (if we were submitting them)? Also, UCI notified around the 19th/20th last year, so we should be hearing somewhat soon, I presume.
DisneyLeith Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 Yeah...same here. That was certainly not a user-friendly experience. Also, when I try to log back in now to check my status I can't get it to work. It's too early in the morning so I've just given up for the time being. Hi! I also got that email. And it took me about ten minutes to figure out how to actually login to that account...
Glossed Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Hi, I also applied to UCI. I haven't received an email yet, but immediately after I submitted my application I was given a website that tracks "Application Progress Review." Is that the site to which you are referring?
Eli- Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 No, there was another email sent out yesterday afternoon about financial aid. I already submitted my FAFSA, which may be why I received it? I didn't get that email, either. And I haven't submitted my FAFSA; you may be right.
againstourfaces Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I didn't get that email, either. And I haven't submitted my FAFSA; you may be right. I applied to Irvine, but what is FAFSA? I didn't receive an email.
againstourfaces Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) Oh, are you international? The FAFSA is the application for federal student aid: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov Oh, yeah. I'm international. Guess that doesn't apply to me, then. phew. p.s. thanks Edited February 11, 2011 by againstourfaces

Is this weird? Could it be that they are *gulp* taking NO ONE?!

crimsonsneakers Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Just got my rejection email... about two hours after the last rejection posted.
Eli- Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Just got my rejection email... about two hours after the last rejection posted. I'm sorry, crimsonsneakers. :& I hear there's no night life whatsoever in Irvine, so at least you won't have to deal with that.
soxpuppet Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I'm sorry, crimsonsneakers. :& I hear there's no night life whatsoever in Irvine, so at least you won't have to deal with that. This, at least is true (but there is nightlife enough in proximate cities). Regardless, sorry to hear about the rejection, and good luck to everyone still waiting!
Glossed Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Its odd--I have yet to hear anything. Either that's a good sign, or my app was so dreadful that I didn't even deserve a formal response.
Eli- Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Its odd--I have yet to hear anything. Either that's a good sign, or my app was so dreadful that I didn't even deserve a formal response. Seriously. What is going on here? I'm guessing that those admitted so far just aren't on gradcafe...
Glossed Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Is anyone aware of any acceptances to Irvine? Going a bit crazy since those rejections were posted but I haven't heard anything.
Glossed Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Grats to the person who posted the acceptance. Mind sharing details?
Eli- Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Grats to the person who posted the acceptance. Mind sharing details? No prob. That was me. Call from DGS @ 1:04pm EST. 5-year funding package (referred to as the "something fellowship" - I was about to pee myself and couldn't hear straight): 2 years no teaching, 3 years TAship (1 class per quarter) at somewhere around $17,000/yr plus summer funding for the first year (I think that's what he said). Offer to match other offers. Sorry to be so flustered. I'm in shock, pretty much. DGS said an email would be sent today; I can be clearer after I get it. soxpuppet 1

truckbasket Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Congrats, Eli! That's a whole lot of awesome!
Glossed Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I'm right there with you--the wait is killing me.
