University of California Irvine - UCI (reviews)

MPAC students enjoy a hands-on training and from my interaction with the school administration, they care about students’ needs. I got a partial scholarship and I’m excited to be part of the MPAC program. My program starts in September of 2025.

The university provides a wide variety of educational courses along with career development resources. It is constantly growing to bring the demand of education and learning research daily. I disliked the huge amount of lecture halls with not much connections with the instructors, however I did enjoy the diverse campus and participating in activities within the campus itself. The university prepared me with my education to pursue a career has allowed me to continue to network with the prestigious name of the university.

This university was undoubtedly my first choice of schools out of the my top picks. Not just the college is amazing but the city it resides in, just adds to the wonderful and limitless opportunities around. While being my first choice, sadly I was not theirs. I had got the heart-renching email that I had been waitlisted, only to get a “application declined” email shortly after. Nonetheless, I chose to work toward my goal of being apart of UCI by starting my education at one of the top transfer community colleges, Orange Coast College. I remain focused, hardworking, and growing my education to further educate myself at my dream school, University of Irvine. Until then, I will stay hopeful and from a distance, imagine Irvine.

The Graduate School Program at UCI was challenging but rewarding. I graduated from the Environmental Engineering program in less than 2 years and learned critical skills that helped me land a fulfilling career.
