<p>I also got a lot more financial aid from UCLA than from Berkeley. Berkeley gave me the least finaid of all the UCs I applied to...(Santa Cruz, Irvine, and Santa Barbara being the most (regents), followed very closely by UCLA,than UCSD, and finally - Cal.)</p>
<p>Yeah, me too. Irvine was a full ride, but I didn't like the campus that much.
The decision would have been a little easier if Cal was cheaper than UCLA. </p>
<p>Also, is it ok to wait until the last minute (like the deadline day) to send my SIR? The websites say that I can accept the offer as well as legal residence thing online, but I'm wondering if I am to send any paper work for them as well. If that's the case then i have to do it at least few days ahead so that my mails reach the campus on time.</p>
<p>I would do it at least the day before so you don't have to hassle with doing everything last minute and risk there being some sort of technical problems like it had with a few of my friends who decided to SIR on the last day.</p>
