<p>That was news to me as well. Not true for the CSU system but true for the UC system according to the workshop. Once I read your posts I decided to look further. </p>
<p>From the UC website:
You may accept admission to one campus only. You may not transfer your acceptance from one campus to another after you declare your intent to register. A $100 nonrefundable deposit must accompany your acceptance.</p>
<p>From ms. Sun’s UC admission Blog:
you CANNOT SIR with multiple UC campuses because the system can keep track (UCs may cancel ALL of your acceptances
You can TAG with as many UC campus as you want (or as many as your CCC allows). You are just supposed to SIR with ONLY one UC campus.
In the past, indecisive students have SIR’d with multiple campuses to buy themselves time to decide. However, this new online TAG system is supposedly capable of kicking out students who SIR with multiple UC campuses.</p>
<p>I received an email from UCLA today inviting me to apply for their regent’s scholarship. It says that the invitation doesn’t constitute an offer of admission, but that looks promising to me!</p>
<p>@silvertongues congratulations!! post your stats so we jealous people can understand why we aren’t worthy (sigh). Anyway, that sucks if I’m not going to get an offer of admission from UCLA because I SIR’d to UCSD. I wanted the offer just to have it, in memory of my mother. … boo.</p>
<p>Hmmm… maybe I’m misinformed. I was chatting with someone who SIR’d one UC and attended summer session, but then received a much better offer from a different school and subsequently canceled and accepted the new offer. Maybe we can only SIR one school, but cancel and accept another school’s? Perhaps, this may explain how one can SIR while on the waitlist, and then cancel the SIR, if accepted off a wait list. At least that’s what I’m getting out of this 04/05/13 entry by askmssun:</p>
<p>As in past years, some students have been offered a place on the UCSB waitlist. Students must “opt-in” to the waitlist by April 15, 2013 through the Applicant Status site. Waitlisted students will hear from UCSB soon after May 1, 2013. If a student has been offered admission at another college campus, but is on the UCSB waitlist, we encourage the student to accept the other offer if it is desirable. If the student is admitted to UCSB after May 1, they may withdraw the original SIR and submit an SIR at UCSB. For more information, see the UCSB Waitlist FAQ.</p>
<p>If one where to fall into this category, then one would forfeit the original fee paid when initially accepting the SIR.</p>
<p>Did everyone get an invite for Regents? Going to be so angry if I don’t get accepted and this was just a tease, sad part is that I might not even get a 3.0 this spring semester.</p>
<p>I do believe it is different with the waitlist, but to be honest I am not sure. I have a form here in front of me that reads:
June 1 DEADLINE SIR and $100 enrollment deposit. Note: you may only accept ONE admissions offer, Once you have submitted your intent to register to one UC all other admissions offers are cancelled.</p>
<p>We have all read, or heard information from various sources and I think we all have reason to believe our sources. My personal opinion for anyone who is fortunate enough to have been accepted by two or more UC’s would be to hold out and think the decision through. Better to be safe than sorry.
I’m so tired of waiting!!! LOL!</p>
<p>The post you referred is dated TAG specific information, and is no longer relevant as it addresses the time when one could TAG more than one campus (not the case this year), and does not discuss acceptances from the regular admissions process. What I’ve quoted from Ms.Sun was posted 3 days ago. TAG was/is a centralized online system, but as we are only allowed to TAG one campus…so the point is moot.</p>
<p>It’s fine to play it safe, but we should not share inaccurate information…it can affect others. We both quoted from the same source (ask ms sun), but I want others to know that updated information has been made available in the past few days.</p>
<p>I’m not here to argue with you, nor am I trying to post inaccurate information. Not only did I receive this information from a college counselor but I found, and quoted the information from the university of california website. I did provide info from sun’s blog as well, but know that she posts on her site multiple times in multiple ways that you should NOT SIR to multiple schools. Here is another blurb from her site: </p>
<p>I get this question all the time and the answer is no, you should not submit multiple SIRs. The UCOP processes a report after the SIR deadline that checks duplicate SIRs and then the individual UC campuses decide on whether to take action (most of them do). Most likely you will receive a sternly worded email asking you to decide where to enroll by a deadline. If you don’t respond by the deadline, your acceptance will be withdrawn from both campuses where you SIR’d. If you are trying to buy time because you are not sure whether you can fulfill the Provisional Admission Contract/Conditions of Admission, understand that you are buying a week of time at the most (maybe two if the UCs are busy). The exception is when you are waitlisted at or appealing to one or more UC campuses, in which case you may SIR with a backup UC campus. Just make sure you withdraw your SIR from the backup campus promptly when you are admitted from the waitlist or appeal.</p>
<p>“The UCOP processes a report after the SIR deadline that checks duplicate SIRs and then the individual UC campuses decide on whether to take action (most of them do).”</p>
<p>I believe this may apply, after the SIR deadline of June 1 (for transfers, if you are not currently on a wait list). I agree with you that I am not looking to argue, or even debate, but personal feelings aside, we should be posting accurate information. Your last post only addresses multiple SIRs generated on a report after the deadline, it does not address canceling one SIR at one UC in order to accept at another (before the deadline). In that situation, you inform the UC of your intent to cancel SIR. </p>
<p>I agree that it is best to be safe, rather than sorry. But a simple call to admissions will clear this up for anyone. Your original quote from Ms. Sun was dated, and I felt that point needed to be cleared up. Whether it was your intention or not to post inaccurate information is not a mitigating factor, the point is that it was and need further clarification. Let’s not cause panic where it is not warranted.</p>
<p>Good luck during the acceptance period, and I hope that this ends the discussion.</p>
<p>@turbin you were invited to apply for Regent’s and you have a 3.9? Now my feelings are really hurt. I wonder if our two topics are verging, and the fact that I SIRd for UCSD means UCLA is done with me, including now not inviting me to apply for Regents… boo.</p>
<p>and p.s. to the argument over SIRing at more than one UC: I think I started this topic somehow, only I wasn’t suggesting I was going to SIR to more than one campus. I have SIRd to UCSD and that is where I am going, even if I get accepted to UCLA. It’s just that my mother worked at UCLA the entire time I was growing up, and I just wanted an offer of admission (plus a Regent’s invitation!) for sentimental reasons (and because I worked my a** off and I have a 4.0 GPA). I am hoping that my SIR to UCSD does not mean UCLA will now reject me out of hand… musings to keep us entertained while we wait for April 19th…</p>
<p>The only advantage gained to students SIRing early goes to UC; in the art of negotiation, one always wants to decide last, not first. It’s probably wisest to wait until all decisions are in — you’re not going to lose your spot anywhere else in the interim.</p>
<p>Thanks guys for your congratulations. I hve a 4.0 GPA if you were wondering. I didn’t expect to be invited for regent’s at all since I remember reading on the UC website that invitations were sent out during late March.</p>
<p>Even though the letter says that the invitation doesn’t necessarily constitute an offer of admission, I have a strong feeling that those who got invited are more than likely to get accepted. So congratulations to all who were invited, and for those who weren’t, don’t despair! The majority of those accepted to UCLA aren’t regent’s scholars.</p>
<p>I was concerned that people would become discouraged. I am sure you will hear back from UCLA, I am certain that it would be far too time consuming to cross-check SIR–since we can do that at any time. The SIR report (generated after June 1 for transfers) appears to be designed to detect simultaneous SIR, and put an end to that S&*% ASAP. </p>
<p>You will hear back, and I hope you do get the satisfaction of knowing that you could have chosen UCLA, if you wanted to so attend. Please let us know when you hear back, it will help future students to SIR when they are sure, but hesitate because they just want to know about the other decisions. I know that I fall into that category, UCSD was a reach for me, but I want to know about UCLA as well before I commit. </p>
<p>Good luck to you, and no matter what your mother would be proud of your accomplishments regardless of UCLA acceptance.</p>
