<p>So, since waitlist decisions come out after May 1st, do we still send in our SIR to another UC?</p>
<p>it depends. i did confirm my admission to SFSU b/c i knew there would be no fee if i cancelled it later but i think UC’s do charge a cancelling fee. i might be a gamble to not send your SIR if you don’t get into davis.</p>
<p>Hi, maybe this will help you. This is taken from Ms. Sun’s UC Admissions Blog (an extremely helpful blog, I think you all should check it out)</p>
<p>"Waitlist Information</p>
<p>Last year, Berkeley, Davis, Irvine, Riverside, and San Diego all admitted students from the waitlist. Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz did not admit any students from the waitlist.</p>
<p>UCLA this year will join other campuses in implementing a waitlist process. All campuses except Merced will use waitlists for their freshman pools.</p>
<p>What students need to know:</p>
<pre><code>They might receive waitlist offers from more than one campus. Students may accept as many waitlist offers as they wish. Waitlist offers will be made by the end of March for freshman applicants.
Once offered a spot on a waitlist, students must opt in by the stated deadline. Instructions for doing so will be included with the waitlist notification. Freshman waitlist opt-in deadline: April 15.
Even if they accept a waitlist offer at a UC campus (or several), students should submit a Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) by the stated deadline to a UC campus or other institution to which they have been accepted to ensure they can attend in the fall. If they later accept an offer of admission from a UC campus where they have been waitlisted, they will forfeit their deposit at the first campus and must submit an additional SIR and deposit.
Waitlisted freshman applicants will be notified of their status no later than June 1.
UCLA and UC Santa Barbara will send preliminary financial aid awards to students who opt in to the waitlist. UC San Diego will provide financial aid awards once students are admitted. For all other campuses, preliminary awards will be sent at the time students are notified of waitlist offers.
SIRs of waitlisted students will be considered on time for purposes of housing and orientation, provided they are submitted by the deadline stated in the offer of admission.
California applicants who are guaranteed admission through ELC or the statewide admission index and don’t receive an admission offer from any campus to which they applied will be in the referral pool, even if they are on the waitlist at another campus.
Campuses will still consider appeals received by the deadlines specified. Applicants who feel they have grounds for an appeal should submit one, but they should keep in mind that the purpose of the appeal process is to deal with errors and compelling new information and hardship. Students cannot appeal for a spot on the waitlist. Freshman appeal deadline: April 15 (March 30 for UC Santa Cruz)."

<p>Ms Sun can you please explain? D qualifies in the Statewide index, what is the “referral pool?”</p>
<p>ELC and elgible in the statewide context for the year of 2012 are almost the same thing in that applicants who were denied to their campus of choice will be put in a referral pool to be admitted to other campuses. In the past, most students would be referred to UCI UCSB UCD and UCR but because of budget cuts the only campus available for referral will be UC Merced</p>
