I feel your pain. I sent my appeal 2 days after the first decision came out. That was 5 weeks ago. It'll be 6 weeks this week. Argh! I want to know already!

iono.. I like ur logic cuz i appealed and haven't gotten my decision.. But it seems like no one has gotten their decisions back from UCLA. I just think that they are slow or they are gonna reveal all the decisions on one day. Had a lot of people gotten it back, and only a few not received it, your logic would ring true

I've heard of only two cases that have heard back -- then again, there's only a small number of people appealing.

Is the SIR really nonbinding? Just wanted some clarification on that, because on the UCSD website the SIR reads that "I may accept admission to only one campus of the University of California; returning more than one offer may jeopardize my enrollment opportunities."

If I decide to submit my SIR for UCSD and IF my appeal for UCLA actually went through, does that mean that I won't be able to enroll in any of the two schools? I'm a little confused here :/

can i submit two because im not sure if im getting a D or C in my calc 3 class...and if i do.. ucla might rescind (althought i've heard stories of people getting D's and not being rescinded) but i think ucsd would be more lenient on this type of thing

i sorta want to have a backup...my parents don't mind paying the 100 dollars

you can't submit two. if you're doing it "just to be safe" then keep in mind that if either school finds out you've SIRed twice, you'll be rescinded and then you're up a creek without a paddle.

don't do it.

I called the UCLA undergrad office today. The admissions lady informed me that the appeals committee is behind on reading appeals, she said they just started recently. she also said I will not receive my decision before May 1st even though they received my appeal on April 7th, and it's been three weeks already. has anyone here been accepted or know of anyone accepted on appeal?

There was a forum member who posted that they (or their friend) had been accepted.

Other than that.. I know no one.

Will you be waiting till after May 1st to decide? I'm worried that if I dont SIR tommorrow, I'll lose out on priority for UCB or UCD? I've also heard that you CANNOT SIR to one UC school, then change to another---they'll lock you out all together.

I dont think I can risk waiting for UCLA after tommorrow!!!!!

I heard that you can SIR to a UC, and if you get into another on appeal, then cancel your registration at the first school and register at the second. The only downside is that you lose the $100 deposit.

Come on, UCLA! Hurry up! Put me out of my misery already. x_x
