<p>Hmm...ilovechocolate, are you a transfer student (because of your other posts)? I thought that many of the transfer students didn't receive their admissions decision yet?</p>
<p>Well, to answer your question, UCs are not relatively fast when it comes to appeals. I remember appealing for UCLA in HS and receiving my response way past the SIR (and other) deadline(s), and was rejected. I appealed to CSULB (the only CSU that rejected me...ha?) in HS and was successfully admitted. I didn't go, but I received my response past the SIR deadline as well. For the most part I think schools want to see how many students they will actually have to accomodate before they can start admitting people who appealed. If you receive your response past the SIR deadline, they'll make special conditions for you, like sending documents ASAP or give you an extended deadline.</p>
