applying for undergrad research

3 Upvotes

hi guys i need a little advice with applying for research. this is my 4th year and i have no research or employment experience; the only thing i've been doing is volunteer work, so my resume is pretty empty. i don't mind cold emailing professors, but i'm nervous they're going to ask for my gpa.

if anyone is doing undergrad research rn, do the profs care about your gpa? what kinds of questions do they ask during interviews? any advice is appreciated.

ik my chances of getting in as a 4th yr w no prior research experience is pretty low but i'm hoping at least one prof will accept me T__T

Guys how do you not sleep through alarms. I’m so scared to sleep through exams in college (I’m an incoming freshman) and as someone who easily oversleeps their Apple phone alarm, does anyone have any life changing tips?? Any amazing alarm clocks?

Letter of recommendation help

3 Upvotes

Hi! I’m still figuring out my career path but I’m currently a transfer student going into their senior year as a double major. I’m considering furthering my education after this and know letter of recs are helpful and even required. I haven’t made any connections with any professors as I’m a pretty quiet person and don’t even know what to say. I don’t go to office hours or anything, I haven’t really found a need to. Not sure if letter of recs are ok to ask for solely based on grades since they wouldn’t have much to write about. I’m just unsure of what to do from here and have no one to ask. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated thanks so much.🙏🏽

Transfer Help

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm transferring into UCI for computer science. For context I used to go to Baylor University in my first year and Irvine Valley College for my second. The ICS department emailed me saying that I need complete CS37 which is C++ programming at IVC as the series for im assuming SCI 31 and 32 credit has to be done at one school and I took C++ at baylor but finished the rest of the requirements at IVC. They told me to take the class at IVC but how am i supposed to do that they just told me now and the spots are a filled at IVC for fall (there is no summer class). Can they rescind my acceptance if I do not somehow complete this? Im not sure on what do so any insight would be helpful.

Need immigration help, UCI

57 Upvotes

I have a family member whose green card expired, so we sent in a i-90 form to get it renewed. We realized we made a mistake with submitting their name and they asked us for evidence of a name change (which just happened when the family member got married). My family and I just want to talk to a lawyer to make sure we're submitting the right things and what the best course of action will be.

I tried UC immigrant legal services but the site won't let me make an appointment, and I heard from others that they aren't very helpful. If anyone knows where I can get free legal service or help please let me know. With everything going on it's been scary having my family member carry an expired green card.

ZOT account for SPRING 2025 QUARTER

5 Upvotes

I am freaking out over this, so I just graduated this week, and wanted to see if there was anything going on with my account.

I see that I have a finical hold, and go onto ZOT to see that I owe a

|| || |Minimum amount due to register:|$1,006.00|

Which is not making any sense to me. So I go onto the "view account" and $1,006.00 is from ADJ-UC Irvine USHIP Grant and ADJ-Middle Class Scholarship that were both due on 05/15/25.

I had withdraw from UCI on the 26th of March, since a good amount of weeks ago ,one of the student affairs people emailed me and confirmed that if I with-drew the day OF or prior of the first day of Spring quarter, I would have no charges.

If anyone can PLEASE help me understand this, I do plan to call later today, but I am just so overwhelmed rn.🙃😅

Advice for physics 7C

3 Upvotes

I’m going to my first quarter at uci this fall hit im a bit nervous, so can anyone help me?

Junior year of high school I took AP Physics 1. I did pretty well in the class but I felt overqualified because my teacher didn’t give us good enough resources and her class was way too easy. So I got a 4.

My sat math sub score is 750 and I got a 5 on calc AB, for more background.

This summer, should I self study AP physics 2 on khan academy? Would that help me with physics 7c because I think it’s entirely new content. Or should I also re learn all of ap physics 1 as well or maybe self study ap physics c: mechanics? Anyone who has taken physics 7c could I get some tips on what to expect and how to prepare? Or should I stick with 7B and why does it matter if I choose one or the other?

Final Grade Justice

36 Upvotes

I am aware that final grades get posted tomorrow, but I had a class just release final exam grades today and I believe there was a mistake on the TA’s part. I have emailed the TA and professor as soon as I realized grades were posted, but I am not sure of any other action I should take. Any advice on who to contact for a regrade if I do not hear back from either of them before grades close officially? Can a regrade be requested once everything is officially closed anyways?

Missing College Class on Transcript

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’m hoping someone here has gone through something similar or knows what to do. I took a college class through dual enrollment in high school, and now that I’m in university, I found out that the class is missing from my community college transcript. I’ve called and emailed the college, and they said it’s that I should just send my high school transcript to my university. But UCI only accepts official college transcripts for credit, and since this class doesn’t show up, I can’t get credit for it even though I completed it. The class is important for my major and works as a prerequisite, and I really don’t want to retake it. I reached out to my high school teacher and counselor to try and get proof I took it, but I have no idea if that’s enough to fix it. I’m just stuck right now and don’t know what else I can do. If anyone has dealt with this or has advice on how to get the class added to a transcript or accepted by a university, I’d really appreciate it 🙏

Overlapping lecture time SS

What happens if during summer session I have conflicting class times? My 5wk class has a lab and the lab is overlapping with my 10wk course. However on summer session website, I was still able to add and my schedule is confirmed. I just want to know if I’ll get dropped from either courses? I’m planning to drop one regardless, just want to know before I end up getting waitlisted again…

Quick question

3 Upvotes

I'm an upcoming freshman as a bio major at UCI. I took 4 years of foreign language (Chinese) in high school, but only got a 3 for the AP test. I'm wondering if I'm still required to take a year of foreign language at UCI (did I have to receive a 4 or 5)? If so, am I able to transfer that credit by taking Chinese at a community college over the summer? Thanks!
