<p>^ my unofficial award letter just appeared on the website,
and i was accepted in the first batch. no SIR. cheers.</p>
<p>but I can’t get a UCSBnetID until I SIR and i need the UCSBnetID to check my financial aid…</p>
<p>fionuhh, yeah, if I do attend, I’ll definitely pick Manzanita Village because the beach view rooms are nice. </p>
<p>Oh, I was just wondering because the admit packet paper states we should go to the admitted transfer one. I wasn’t sure if there was a difference between the two. UCSB housing applications didn’t start yet, right?</p>
<p>It starts now. IT’s due by June 1 I think</p>
<p>@northbeach</p>
<p>the deposit is $100, but i deferred it to my fall payments. You could only pay with echeck or check</p>
<p>@IAmSoCal</p>
<p>hmm yeah I don’t think it really makes a difference? B/c when you SIR it sends you to a separate link and yeah. </p>
<p>But I think housing applications don’t start til later. It says it opens on May 1st</p>
<p>[Housing</a> Application Closed](<a href=“http://appl.housing.ucsb.edu/HousingApplications/99_application_closed.aspx]Housing”>http://appl.housing.ucsb.edu/HousingApplications/99_application_closed.aspx)</p>
<p>fionuhh, oh, alright. Thanks. Is the $100 dollars you were referring to the deposit for the SIR? If it is, I noticed you said echeck and check so that means we can’t pay in debit/credit card?</p>
<p>no credit card or debit. only checking account</p>
<p>@AB12345
you don’t need the special account to check your aid.
just log into your account where they show the acceptance:</p>
<p><a href=“UC Santa Barbara Admissions Portal - UC Santa Barbara Applicant Portal Login”>UC Santa Barbara Admissions Portal - UC Santa Barbara Applicant Portal Login;
<p>it takes a while, but eventually there will be a link that appears on the left side that says: unofficial award letter.</p>
<p>my link showed up about one week after i was accepted, but it only said “we have received your fafsa info…”. then 48 hours ago they posted the specs for my aid. i was accepted in the first batch, so however long ago that was till two days ago. blabbidy blah, hope that makes sense?</p>
<p>@fionuhh
that is great. 100 dollars and we can defer it. i was expecting it to be much higher. thanks for posting!</p>
<p>thank you so much!</p>
<p>Yea got admitted today as a Econ/Acct Major, (i might change over to econ/math) this news made my day! =)</p>
<p>Wait, what do you mean defer? Accoring to this page from their site:</p>
<p><a href=“http://appl.housing.ucsb.edu/contracts/contract_rates_2011.pdf[/url]”>http://appl.housing.ucsb.edu/contracts/contract_rates_2011.pdf</a></p>
<p>There is a $180 contract processing and administrative fee. Do you mean you can hold off on that payment until the fall starts?</p>
<p>One more question you guys might know the answer to, in the quarter system do you receive your finical aid each quarter or all at once?</p>
<p>@Jiggalow
that is awesome! congratulations.</p>
<p>@Northbeach- Thank You! That’s one thing off my back</p>
<p>I still haven’t heard back and I have a high gpa 
i am tired of waiting. Should I call them?</p>
<p>@ ineedtissues93: If you don’t have any math or English requirements in-progress and you have most pre-reqs finished than I wouldn’t worry. Just give it a few more days =]</p>
<p>I actually have quite a few prereqs for math and science I am taking this semester. I didn’t know that could hurt me, but I guess I will wait.</p>
<p>^^ Well what is your major? By math pre-reqs I mean like statistics or something. The most basic math and english requirements. If you have these in progress you will likely be rejected. If you’re an engineering major or something I don’t think the upper division math stuff will hurt you as much. But I’m not an engineering major so I really don’t know. But there have been a few people on here with extremely high gpas that were rejected because they had their most basic math and english requirements still IP this semester.</p>
<p>I am a psych major and am taking chem stats and bio 1 this semester and I have had a 4.0 thus far.</p>
