Any other UC Irvine MURP admits hanging around this forum?

Hey there!

I am a MURP admit as well - are you going to the open house?

Applied: UCLA, UCI, USC

Accepted: UCI

[sfbbgurl]

Yes yes. I am. Im excited to learn more about the program.

What about you, attending the open house?

[slowbro]

Is your open house on the 30th? If so, I'll be there as well, but as a PhD admit.

[grrjessi]

Yes -the open house is on the 30th for MURPS - Are you both flying in the night before? Is anyone else from the SF Bay area?

[sfbbgurl]

I'm from San Francisco. I havent figured out if Im flying in super early on the 30th or the day before...still trying to decide if i really wanna get up at like 5am that day. haha...doesnt sound so appealing.

[slowbro]

I live close enough to drive over. I'll have to get up early, though -- traffic gets bad on the 405 fast.

[sfbbgurl]

Lucky me! I get to fly from SFO to SNA at 6:10am...yay!

Do you think you'll attend UCI?

[pennsyJOE]

At least you have a short flight for the open house... I get to drive three hours then spend another 8 in the air flying out of Philadelphia. Have any of you heard back yet on aid?

[hilosanne]

I have you all trumped...I'm flying in from Alaska to the open houses at UCI and USC.

Has UCI awarded $$$ yet?

thanks

ps anyone done a pros/cons for the 2? It's sort of like apples and oranges.

I applied to both and got into both. Which is good and bad.

Does anyone know what UCI is ranked in Planetizen? I am trying to decide between Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and UC Irvine...

[zagster]

I believe that UCI is ranked 12th overall.

After the open house, I left with a great impression of the program. It definitely making the decision a tough one!
