<p>I sent in my SIR, but to decline the admission offer.</p>
<p>aww..why? i submitted my SIR after I went to UCLA for welcome day. the food was great. the place was awesome..and the people there just seemed so happy. :) go bruins! 09 baby.</p>
<p>This post is on the "UCLA over Cal?" section</p>
<p>Here is my reason:</p>
<p>After carefully weighing my options, I selected Cal over UCLA. Certainly both institutions provide a healthy amount of options to explore various fields.</p>
<p>I visited both campuses and researched the academic programs and in the end, I felt Cal provided the options I wanted; by no means does this imply that UCLA fails in the department of academic quality. However, for me, Cal had one huge advantage in my decisions: the rhetoric department. Though I'm a poli sci major, I also love rhetoric and I'm most likely going to minor or double major in rhetoric. UCLA simply does not offer a focused study in rhetoric; I would have to take communications or English--both of which I don't want to do--to barely get my dose of rhetoric. I also enjoyed the Berkeley campus (though I absolutely love UCLA's campus) and the area warms up after a while.</p>
<p>So, I would definitely suggest visiting and looking at what you want to do, where your passions lie, and see which university offers you the opportunity to pursue that passion. Cal offered me my two great passions: poli sci and rhetoric and that sealed my decision.</p>
<p>very cool. im undeclared..although im leaning towards med school. i figured la has a lot of hospitals in the area + ucla has its own hospital. so ucla would be ideal for me.</p>
<p>Yes, UCLA is excellent for pre-med studies.</p>

<p>Congrats everyone! I am officially a Bruin!! =)
Major: Economics
Reason for attending: I feel in love with the school when I first saw it during Welcome Day and felt an energetic vibe as I experienced it through both the professors and current students. I love the location (Westwood, Santa Monica), overall energy of the student body, array of clubs/organizations, gorgeous 20's style architecture, research opportunities, freshman seminars, sport school spirit, large school size, renowned professors with published works, and the list goes on...I'm looking forward to orientation and meeting new bruins =)
Location: SoCal </p>

<p>Sent my SIR,housing application. I just hope nothing goes wrong.</p>
<p>I got an email from the admin office after I submitted the SIR, but no such email was sent after i applied for housing?
And when do we give our choice of meal plan.</p>
<p>Anyone else? I thought I'd bump this seeing how the deadline is near</p>
