Please Advise - Made an Error when Declining Offers from Colleges

Hi everyone. I am in need of some knowledge. I accepted my offer of admission at Yale today, and when I went to go decline my other offers, I couldn’t find a place to decline the UC Berkeley offer. Stupid me thought that there would be a place to decline on the SIR form on CalCentral, but I accidently sent in a SIR. I did not pay the enrollment deposit, as I realized my mistake and I have no intentions of enrolling at UC Berkeley.

I have already contacted UC Berkeley via email and my regional admissions rep at Yale today explaining my mistake and making it clear that I do not intend to enroll at Berkeley. I plan on calling the admissions offices at both schools on Monday to let them know.

I am just very worried that this error will jeopardize my offer of admission at Yale. Once again, I had no intention of “double depositing”; was just an error made in ignorance. Can anyone weigh in on this? Would not paying the enrollment deposit at Berkeley by the deadline mean that I do not intend on enrolling? I’m just very worried and stressed out about this right now.

Thanks,

Don’t worry. Just let UCB know. You don’t have to notify Yale.

Thanks for your input @CAmom2020!
