Will SIR-ing to one UC make the other ones reject you? (Berkeley specifically)

<p>This may be a dumb question, but I was just curious. I was recently admitted into UCLA, and I'm 95% sure that I'm going there, but I'm unsure if I should SIR right now to find housing as quick as possible. I wanted to see if Berkeley would accept me and I'm wondering if Berkeley would see me SIR-ing to UCLA right now and reject me, if there's ever been a case like this.</p>

<p>Does anyone know?</p>

<p>No, you’ll be fine. The other UCs won’t even know that you SIR’d to one of their campuses. </p>

<p>Berkeley will still release your decision and won’t change it to reject you because you SIR’d to UCLA(The much better school, by the way. :wink: ). If you get rejected, it was because of certain factors in your application causing them to reject you and only those factors. </p>

<p>And congrats on getting in!</p>

<p>Ah @Cayton‌, ever the generous god among us plebeians on these forums. </p>

<p>Hahaha thanks! And congrats to you too, I hope to see you around this fall! </p>

<p>(Seriously, we should have a College Confidential meet-up, I think it’d be fun!)</p>

<p>Here’s what UC says

It kinda sounds like they share the SIR info to me. But you bear all the consequences either way; maybe missing out on the good housing or having Cal change their mind. Do what you think is best.</p>

<p>I do concede that they may share that information, but I strongly doubt it’ll influence any UC’s admission decision.</p>

<p>@ale2194‌ </p>

<p>No problem.</p>

<p>Berkeley won’t change their offer of admission if you already submit your SIR to UCLA. I’m pretty sure it’s already finalized and we’ll just see in the next few days.</p>

<p>I would wait to hear from Berkeley though before you a send a SIR. It’s the best school :wink: </p>

<p>For some reason, @ocnative is under the delusion that Berkeley is the best school.</p>

<p>Don’t you pay attention to him. Go ahead and SIR with UCLA.</p>

<p>@Cayton‌ </p>

<p>lol</p>

<p>Wait for Cal, ale2194. You might change your mind about that 95% :smiley: </p>

<p>Just visit the campus, @ale2194.</p>

<p>That ought to dispel any doubts about choosing UCLA over Berkeley.</p>

<p>@Cayton‌ I’ve visited many times (2 days ago being the most recent) and have a good number of close friends there :wink: </p>

<p>@ocnative‌ I have yet to visit Berkeley! I definitely will if I get accepted, $100 isn’t too much when comparing it with your future! </p>

<p>What I don’t understand is why would SIR to UCLA? you have until June 1st to decide… why can’t u wait until friday when Cal releases their decision… plus UCLA housing is hella expensive… you are not going to run out of transfer options…
You should enjoy your time as a free agent… both Cal and UCLA will invite you to their respective yield events and will try to make you go there… its a nice feeling to turn the tables on the UC’s and have them fight to get you.</p>
