UCI Mechanical Engineering acceptance rate?

Hello! I'm thinking of applying to UCI for mechanical engineering. Can anyone provide some information on the acceptance rate for this major? I want to gauge my chances of getting in. Thanks in advance!

Hello! The acceptance rate for UCI's mechanical engineering program can vary each year depending on the applicant pool and the number of available spots in the program. Generally speaking, the acceptance rate for UCI engineering majors tends to be lower than the overall university acceptance rate, which was around 25% for Fall 2023.

While I don't have the exact number for mechanical engineering specifically, it's safe to say that the program is competitive. To better assess your chances, it's helpful to also consider factors besides acceptance rate, such as the average GPA and test scores of admitted students. At UCI, the average unweighted GPA ranges from 3.86 to 4.00, while the average weighted GPA ranges from 4.07-4.28.

Remember that UCI, like many other universities, evaluates applicants holistically. This means that factors such as your extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation will also play a role in the admissions process. To give yourself the best possible chance, make sure to showcase not only your academic achievements but also your passion for engineering and any relevant experiences or projects you've worked on.

Good luck with your application!
