UC Berkeley Transfer Thread 2018

@Iloveucla1919 no:
“You do not currently have any Financial Aid information ready to view. Please check Financial Aid & Scholarships - opens in new window or contact Cal Student Central - opens in new window for more information.” On the My Finances tab

Yeah, no financial aid award available (makes sense, lol)

I just checked my status and i have 4 addresses now! Is this a good sign?

Can someone pay the SIR deposit and see what happens

@thatscoop I have four as well, had 2 yesterday. Not sure it’s a sign of anything except activity on your account!

It is a sign that someone with a poor sense of humor in the admissions office is reading this thread and having a long yuk… I am officially no longer going to read this thread and just wait to see what happens on Friday…

I hope they read these threads, lol.

4.0 GPA, Media Studies

“Not registered”
New admit tours
2-4-2-4 addresses
Alumni email
SIR Deposit
And I’m suddenly in a few groups (but I think it doesn’t mean anything?)

UCB admissions is probably somewhere reading this thread having a blast laughing at all of us as we try to think up a way to determine if we got in before Friday

It makes sense that the SIR could be for summer and you’re a “nonregistered” student for summer sessions. It also makes sense that people have “new admit tours” because you’re entirely new or a visitor in the system. Connect the dots… PRESIR (accepted to summer session) which will then change to nonregistered (haven’t paid or enrolled in a seat), SIR (well, pay to play…just in the summer lol). Per the UC’s, if you received a waiver the SIR will be deferred. If you have taken already taken a course then you might not have an SIR deposit.

I think that the only thing that seems to be plausible is the $250 SIR deposit…everything else I’m not so sure

I’m so done rn

Fall 2017 ChemE transfer here - Good luck prospective transfers!! Also, take a screenshot of your SIR! Last year mine was not processed correctly so even though I paid my deposit and submitted the SIR, the day after they were due my entire CalCentral was wiped as if I had not submitted it. I was able to get it fixed by showing them my deposit payment but… take screenshots. Of everything.

Do you sir for summer session though?

The first thing I checked after seeing the SIr deposit was to check summer fee schedule and faq to see if there was a sir for summer and could not find anything.

@choukevin haha don’t tell me ur a laker fan! If we both get in we should link up!

@getoutmeswamp no you don’t

@getoutmeswamp nope, summer has a million other fees and SIR isn’t one of them

soooooo much to think about. Gotta stop speculating…

how are you guys accessing the SIR and $250 deposit thing? Is that a separate website from the application checklist?

@Shoumei technically. On calcentral go to your “my finances tab” and it’ll say $0 — click on pay/balance summary and it pops up another tab with the SIR deposit 250, if you have it
