Submit more than one UC SIR?

Applying to College
1

What happens if I submit an SIR to 2 UC campuses? I already submitted one for Davis but I was admitted on appeal to UCSD. I was thinking of submitting the SIR for UCSD but not tell Davis just yet. What would happen if I waited a few months to see if UCSD gives me housing, and if not then cancel the UCSD SIR and go to Davis? Would Davis know that I SIR’d to UCSD? Am I jeopardizing admissions to both of the campuses?

<p>They will find out within a week and your enrollment at both campuses gets put in jeapardy. You need to make a decision... everyone else had to by May 1. Since you submitted an appeal to SD...that must say something. Good luck!</p>

<p>I am really interested in going to UCSD but since I was admitted on appeal they don't guarantee housing. That may be the deal breaker.</p>

<p>They don't guarantee housing at UCSD after freshman year either. So, if housing is a deal breaker, stick with UCD. I personally like UCD a little better in terms of social life.</p>

<p>Colleges in consortiums share information on ED candidates and who accepted what college. For example, WUSTL and Vanderbilt and Emory and Wake Forest would share information. Not every college is connected to every other college, but I would imagine that the UC schools talk to each other. The risk is to have both colleges pull both acceptances. I would not do that.</p>

<p>Bet bet is to call UCSD housing and check your odds of being offered housing.</p>

<p>Possibly. Remember that UCD and UCSD are two campuses of the SAME UNIVERSITY. Their sharing of information and connections to each other are a lot stronger than between two different universities. At some point they are bound to figure out that you are playing double with them, and they won't like it.</p>

<p>you can have my closet at the tmc res hall for $100 bux a month</p>

<p>seriously, why don't you just look into off campus housing until you get off the waiting list...?</p>

<p>i called housing yesterday and they can't even tell me where i am on the waitlist until mid-late june. right now they are still collecting data. they said that they have more students than space for just the people that they are suppose to guarantee housing. they only have room for 75% of the students. many of the admitted students reserve housing even if they don't want it. ucsd is are waiting to see who cancels, forgets to leave deposits and admissions are rescinded; and this will eliminate some of the overcrowding. if they are any open spots after this go to the waitlist people. so at best i might know if i get a spot late july or early august. others may get housing the first 2 weeks of school because some people are no shows at the dorm or have made alternate housing plans. housing said the waitlist usually clears by december but by then most people have made other plans.</p>

<p>Maybe you should explain the situation and just ask about the two deposits. They might be understanding or not. In either case, I think it is too risky to go ahead and do hoping that they won't find out. Also, the suggestion about exploring off-campus housing is good.</p>

<p>you know what... people drop out all summer. Its called summer melt. They'll find you a place. I'd take the chance.</p>
