Thank you for the tour ❤️😊🙌🏽

He’s been napping for over 3 years now 🥲

why are you choosing this UCI? And want is your major.

I’m an incoming freshman and I’m also from erhs lmaooo. 5 years later and this is still hella helpful 👍

Hi Josiah, really helpful video! I will be attending UCI this fall and I have 1 questions they are pretty important for me to decide which dorm I would choose The problem is that I saw that mesa doesn't have an air conditioner. Is the room temp cool in mesa? Cuz I really need nice and cool nighttime. Thx if u can reply to me, thumbs up!

You're awesome! :)

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

thank you :) this was very helpful

You wanna get into UCI? just apply

Are mini fridges allowed in the towers?

nice vlog bro!!! 😎

I can't decide between middle earth and mesa towers 😭

I just got accepted here and this video was really helpful to get a sense of what the university looks like

im only 15 and planning on moving to the usa so i can study there and be myself and transition to a women 😭 i rlly have 0 money idk where i can get a thousands of dollars i might start a bussines too

How can I apply to medical clg in UCI i am international student

Hm...so since SATs are test optional this year, im taking advantage of not having to study the SAT in order to do more in my clubs like Machine Learning Club and Computer Science Club. I am also taking 3 Computer science college (Java, C++, Data Structures and Algorithms) classes at LBCC. Would it still be recommended that i take the SAT or is it better to take advantage of test optional for UC's in order to do more work in my clubs? I have also taken 2 AP classes in sophomore year and am taking 4 AP classes in junior year. So far I have a 4.0 uw gpa and 4.44 w gpa.

just applied this month! so nervous

hi! a junior in hs here. for the past 2 years i’ve had some issues mentally and at home which really affected my academics and gpa. let’s just say they were quite below standard. i’m trying my best right now to keep a higher gpa which is currently at 3.66. i know what to write about when it comes to challenges and growth, but do you have any advice for the future? i did a sport for one semester and right now i work part time at my local walmart which i now really enjoy. i never really got good grades during past ap classes so i’m taking 2 ib classes this year.

Hi! I wanted to ask whether or not i have a good chance for uci with my current statistics rn. So I'm a junior in high school and rn now my total gpa stands at a 4.3 weighted and 3.4 unweighted and my grades as a junior rn are pretty good with all As except for AP chem where i have a C right now just because it's so hard lol. also a background on me: I am Vietnamese who played basketball for 3 years and has been in positions of leadership in my CSF and NHS organizations at my school as well as Key Club and other clubs that were just newly created to help out during the pandemic. also i have a passion for law mainly because of the amount of politics happening this year but I just find the whole subject fascinating! If I wrote about all of that in my application essay as well as keep a weighted gpa of around 4.5, do I stand a good chance in my senior year to get accepted into uci? thank you so much for your help!

ah this video is super helpful !! i’m finalizing my UC application right now and am really hoping to get into UCI :)

love it! very helpful

do all towers have the same layout?

omg i'm looking for videos of mariposa bc i'm moving in this month and then i see that you had the exact room i'm going to live in! this is so helpful ;)

great i had like a 3.6 my sophomore year :/

Hey Josiah, I currently have a 3.4 uw and 3.7 w gpa and I've only taken 1 AP class so far but I'm planning to take two more this year in my senior year. My sat is a 1350 but I'm studying for the August one to hopefully get a better score. I'm involved in a couple clubs with positions, varsity golf 4 years and captain, and over 200 volunteer hours with the presidential award. My dream school as of right now realistically (bc of my grades) is UCI and I was wondering what my chances are of attending and if you have any tips for me to stand out/anything more I can do bc I feel like I seem pretty average. Thank you !

Hey Josiah, I'm a rising senior looking at potential schools to apply to and I was wondering what the course requirements were for UCI. I saw on their website that we needed a year of Visual and Performing Arts and a year in College-Preparatory Electives. Any advice on what courses these would satisfy? That'd really be so amazing man, thanks. Also commenting even after a year this video came out is very admirable, thank you

got off the waitlist but here are my stats: gpa: 3.4 unweight 3.7 weighted Sat: 1180 16 on essay took 9 ap classes lol I honestly think my essays gave me a chance. Grades are not everything guys have some hope LOL cuz I definitely didn’t

I’m so glad you made this video for future students! Thank you :)

Hey Josiah, I’m a upcoming senior in the IB program. I’ve had a 4.0 uw gpa throughout my freshman and sophomore year, but my junior year my grades took a dip when I moved in with my sister and barely made honor role 1st semester and now am most likely going to be receiving a 3.33 uw gpa for my 2nd semester report card. Background on myself; I’m a foster kid that has always moved around allot and have finally found a solid footing with moving in with my sister. Throughout high school I have always done extra curricular activities (football, baseball, and working at Chick-fil-A) and have racked up about 150 hours of volunteering hours through programs like wwoof and helping out at local nursing home. I was hoping to get a great SAT score to go along with my volunteer hours and extra curriculars to hide my junior year flunk, but now all UC’s won’t be accepting SAT scores. I’m wondering how you think I should go about my days from here on out and what I should focus on/look into doing. Thank you.

what are the difference between the three towers? or are they all the same with different color themes

i have a 3.5 unweighted and 4.4 weighted gpa i took 6 AP classes. 1440 SAT and 29 ACT. im on the dance team, cross country, academic decathlon. i also teach martial arts to kids, tutor and volunteer at a local hospital. i had a major falling out during my first semester of sophomore year due to a personal problem which resulted in two Bs and 4 Ds :((( but i got my grades up and got straight As from then to now. do i stand a chance on getting in?

is there a separate rec center for the mesa court dorms aside from the towers?

hello! i was told it was hard for incoming freshmen to get towers housing! do you know anyways to heighten your chances for ME or MC towers?

Wow the towers look so modern and nice! I just got accepted to UCI a few days ago and i was wondering how hard it is to get a spot in one of the towers?? Like is submitting the housing form early gonna better your chances?

Any tips for students waitlisted to UCI? I want to send an email with new information that happened first semester senior year but they didn’t have any box to send text in the waitlist letter. I know I shouldn’t send them anything they haven’t asked for but I want to do something to try and help my chances.

It has been terrified！I'm Chinese，too. Hope my English can be as good as yours

this was so helpful thank you 🥺

Hi! great video :)) I just got accepted into UCI yesterday and I am totally interested in staying in one of the Mesa Towers to dorm. Do you have suggestions on how I could meet people in order to form my quad? Thanks!!

im a Sophmore and my gpa is a 3.6 uw :(( I plan on doing rs/dual enrollment junior and senior yr and getting my aa degree. Is this as good as ap?

Is there a chance of me getting in with a low GPA but high SAT score?

4:00 ????

For AP classes, does it only matter if you took it (showing that you’re challenging yourself) or do you have to pass the AP TEST for it to count?

Applying this year, I’m terrified

Hey Josiah, I just wanted to say this video was SUPERRRR helpful so thank you so much. Anyways, I am currently a senior in high school in North Carolina and I was just wondering if you know that many people at UCI coming from out of state? Just because I know sometimes it is more difficult for out of state students to get into state schools like UCI.

How are you liking your overall experience at Irvine so far since you’ve experienced both your freshmen and sophomore year???

This video was so helpful and will be in 3 years since im just freshman

hey do we have to be in our rooms by a certain time? Oh and is the common area and study room in the mesa court tower open throughout the whole night?

Why am i watching this when I’m an incoming Freshman this year lol
