The majority of students will be selected on the basis of academic
performance, as assessed by review of the following: GPA, number of
UC-transferable units completed, and depth of preparation for the major.
Highest priority for admission is given to California resident
junior-level applicants from California community colleges. Preference will
also be given to community college students who have participated in
academically selective honors courses or programs. Junior transfer
students from four-year colleges, including other UC campuses, and
lower division transfer students may be considered as space permits.
Some students will be selected on the basis of academic and personal
achievement, potential and experience, as assessed through a comprehensive
review of all information provided on the application, including academic
performance as described above plus the following: an exceptionally
challenging curriculum; outstanding accomplishments relevant to academic
aims; hardships or unusual circumstances the applicant has faced, and the
ways in which the applicant has responded to these challenges; a strong,
thoughtful match between UC Irvine's programs and the student's academic and
career objectives, preparation, talents and skills; and potential
contributions to the campus.
Fall term applicants must complete required English composition and
mathematics courses by the end of the spring term preceding enrollment at
UC Irvine. Winter term applicants must complete these courses by the
end of the preceding summer term.
- Biological Sciences, Business Information Management, Chemistry, Computer Science, Computer
Science and Engineering, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology,
Economics (all majors), Engineering, , Informatics, Information and Computer Science, Mathematics,
Nursing Science, Physics, Public Health Policy and Public Health Sciences:
There is additional emphasis on preparation in the selection of students
applying to these majors. Students must complete prerequisite courses for
the major, as published in the UC Irvine General Catalogue.
- Preparation for all transfer students admitted to majors in the Bren School
of Information and Computer Sciences (including Business Information Management):
Java is used extensively in the curriculum; therefore, students
should plan to learn it by studying on their own or by completing a
Java-related programming course prior to their first quarter at UC Irvine.
