<p>Its about that time to submit your SIR's</p>
<p>I havent heard back from all the schools I've applied to yet, but I think i might SIR to UC Santa Barbara.</p>
<p>Where have you submitted and how easy was it?</p>
<p>It’s not even close to time to submit your SIR.</p>
<p>Unless you are 100% sure UCSB is your top choice and you don’t care at all if you get into any of the other schools you got into I would urge you not to SIR yet. There is NO advantage to submitting your SIR early.</p>
<p>As for the actual process you just click on the link to SIR and then pay 100 dollars, it’s as easy as can be.</p>
<p>Already SIR’d to UCSD on day 1.</p>
<p>You have until June 1st to SIR to a school – UCs anyway.</p>
<p>I didn’t get replies back from any of the schools I applied to lol.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Got into all the schools I heard back from so far: UCR, UCI, UCSB for various different majors</p>
<p>Waiting on: Davis, LA, Berkeley, and SD</p>
<p>Probably will end up SIRing to Davis or Santa Barbara but I’ll wait a while before deciding (i’m gonna go and visit each thoroughly) because I’m kinda wondering if I should go to SD if I get in.</p>
<p>I’ll be EXTREMELY happy if I get into Berkeley or LA but I most likely won’t SIR to either :(</p>
<p>I will send in my SIR once I hear back from all schools. Waiting on Davis (TAG), LA, and Cal. After I find out I’ll re-visit/visit each school and then make my decision. I’d actually love to be decided at this point but alas not every school releases decisions early. But that’s okay. I should be able to fit in everything I need to take care of in early May before finals.</p>
<p>Does it mean that if I SIR one school then I cannot SIR any other schools?</p>
<p>what’s the consequence of SIRing but not going?</p>
<p>Yes, you can only SIR to one school (SIRing to more will jeopardize your admission.) SIRing and not going to any school = losing $100.</p>
<p>What if you don’t have the $100 bucks? Yikes I didn’t know that.</p>
<p>^Then borrow it. You may also need some money for a housing deposit, which is required before financial aid is disbursed (at least at UCSD, but I suspect other UCs are similar). UCSD wants $650 for housing, IIRC.</p>
<p>Submitted my SIR to UCSB last Thursday. You have to pay $100, but my payment was deferred.</p>
<p>@ natjan, If you don’t have the $$$ you may be able to defer the payment. Good luck.</p>
<p>Oh sweet, thank you. I’m sure I could scrounge it up, it just caught me off guard. Thankfully I’m not moving into any housing. Deferred until financial aid rolls in?</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>I believe it said until September. The $100 will be added in with your tuition, etc. I think.</p>
<p>My $100 for UCI last year was due well before September. I think I paid it toward the end of April.</p>
<p>SIR’ed to Irvine today and even with an EFC=0, I wasn’t able to defer the $100 payment. I am really excited, especially after taking housing tours of the fancy new apartments on campus this afternoon…</p>
<p>Are you a low income student? Perhaps that has something to do with it. I’m sure I can hassle a family member or someone to fork it over. </p>
<p>It is a very exciting thought to pay and know I have a spot reserved at UC__! I can’t wait!</p>
<p>Sorry for the noob questions but:</p>
<p>What exactly do you do when you know where you’re going to SIR? And is $100 the only fee until later (when later o_o)?</p>
<p>UCIhopeful: </p>
<p>Ooooo which apartments did you tour? I wanted to move SO bad but I just cannot afford it.</p>
<p>@aninstance: Well somewhere on your portal/student page there should be a link to submit your SIR. You then accept all of the legal stuff and submit your credit card information. Unfortunately, if you plan to live on campus expect a couple of other fees to spring up. Just today for Irvine I had to pay a $150 on campus apartment “application fee” and will have to make a substantial deposit/first payment in July… $1000 bucks I didn’t plan into my budget.</p>
