<p>Hey guys, I applied to CSUDH, UCI, and UCLA and got accepted to all 3 (yay!)
CSUDH keeps mailing stuff about my financial aid and how I have to mail them my information to finish the financial aid processing. I was wondering if I should simply ignore them or inform them that I won't be attending? Same for UCI. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!</p>
<p>I think its better to alert them as soon as you know where you want to go.
There may be students on the waiting list for the school you don’t want to go to.</p>
<p>I would love to inform Davis and San Diego that I won’t be attending. Since they haven’t finished admissions yet, I’d love to free up my spot for someone else.</p>
<p>hm… how should I do this through email or phone call?</p>
<p>This is actually an important thread because of the ability it gives us to help out other stressed applicants. If you know what college you’re going to attend then definitely turn down your offer of admission at the others. When you say no thanks you could potentially free up a spot for someone on the waitlist who’s desperate to find out if they got into their dream school.</p>
<p>For the UC’s just log on and decline the offer of admission, I know for UCLA when I went to send in my SIR under the decline option it had the reason why so you can just type in what college you’re going to instead.</p>
<p>I remember back in highschool my college counselor telling us it would be good idea to send in a polite thanks but no thanks letter to colleges, especially smaller ones, in case we ever applied there again for transfer or grad school. I don’t know how accurate that advice is, but regardless let the colleges know via their preferred method.</p>
<p>thanks that’s really helpful
I think I will wait a couple more days in case sometime horrible goes wrong</p>
<p>You can log into your account at each UC campus and decline the SIR. This will take you off the list before the June 1 SIR deadline.</p>
<p>Not sending the SIR automatically takes you off the list after June 1. There isn’t a whole lot of advantage or disadvantage of declining the SIR for the schools you are not attending.</p>
<p>The UCs are only doing waitlist for freshman applicants, there is no waitlist for transfer admission.</p>
<p>They are not going to accept another transfer student just because you notify them you are not going to attend. They recognize that not all admits will accept the offer of admission and because of that accept a far greater number of students than they can possibly accommodate.</p>
