Hey good to see a UCI thread. I am a reapplicant. Send my docs for R1. What are your thoughts on UCI?
Hey,
Nice to see you my friend. Well, I talked to one of the second year Indian student there. She seems very excited about the program and suggested me to apply for round1. I think it being a part of larger Univ of California system attracts me. Obviously the valley plays an important role as well.
What are your thoughts??
Regards,
Kalyan
I'll be applying shortly.
Could someone please tell me what is the relevance of R1 when UCI claims to have a rolling admissions system?
Cheers!

Well, deadlines are for the admissions committee!! :D
They would choose whom to interview and whom to not by keeping in mind day they submitted. In my case, since i applied for round-1, i would be eligible for an interview in december, when christine visits India. Thats my take.

Haha...Even I think that the deadlines are mere indicators. But rollings admissions make it even more important to get your app in early. Hope you do that soon CheckEETS.
@kalyan - Same here. Even i have heard good things about the program. But I am not in touch with any current student. Can you share some details what she said? You know abt job opportunities, overall coll atmosphere, student life etc...
FBI statistics released in May 2010 show that the City of Irvine continues to have the lowest per capita Violent Crime rate in the nation for cities with over 100,000 residents. This 2009 crime data marks the sixth consecutive year that Irvine has achieved the lowest per capita Part 1 Violent Crime rate distinction. Additionally, the data identifies that Irvine also had the lowest per capita overall Part 1 Crime rate in the nation. With a six percent decrease in overall Part 1 Crime, 2009 marks the lowest per capita Part 1 Crime rate in the Citys history. Irvine officials say the city's continuing safety record comes down to building ties with the community, from crafting patrol beats that give officers a deep knowledge of Irvine's various villages and retail centers, to keeping an eye on local students in danger of falling into gang life.

Yes, low crime rate has been ONE of the USPs of UCI through the years.
But what has been bugging me about the university is its location. While the OC is a very active place, buzzing with startups and companies, California is notorious for its huuge cost of living.
Coupling this with a substantial course fee, I am seeing that even with a 20-25% scholarship, MBA costs are coming to about 35-40 Lakh INR.
This, I feel, is a tad steep for a tier 2 school like UCI, when there are other options out there.
But I love almost everything about this school, from the location to the pedagogy to the faculty to the peer groups to even the website! I really really want to apply here.
Can someone vouch for the cost part / correct me if I have gone wrong somewhere?
Also throw me a bone here and there about my conphoosons?:cheers:
Cheers!

How did you arrive at the 40 lakhs figure? Share some details. 900$ per month is the living cost from what I have heard. Or am i I assuming too less?
I would say go ahead and apply. Worst case scenario is that you lose 150$. But better to have an admit than none at all. Finances, whether to go/ not can be decided later can be decided on scholarships. Also the job scenario is better on west coast than the east from what I have heard.

dude...can u just brief me on how u got to the figure of 40 lakhs...??? i mean what was ur break-up???
Hey,,
sry i almost missed your question. I have been in touch with a couple of students. One of them is Shruti Koneru. She is a current second year student. You can find her mail id in the official college page. regarding the program, she seems quite happy with the professors and the help they offer towards employment offers. College life is fun and the club activites make upto 50% of your time. I heard the on campus accomodation is quite costly ~900 $ but our desi's usually rent a condo and make it upto 500 $. Hope I answered your question.
Still no invite from the college. The wait is agonizing my friends!!!!
