UCI: Undergrad Admissions

We do different

We enthusiastically embrace the bold, independent, one-of-a kind mind. That's why UCI ranks among the top 10 public universities in the nation.

How to Apply

Anteater Experience

I've made a lot of lasting connections here at UCI. I've gotten to meet a lot of different types of people and I feel like people are so committed to the involvements that they're in that it's really easy to be accepted by that particular community.

Different by design

Our undergraduate schools were built along a circular path called Ring Road to create a collaborative, accessible environment.
