| Submitting SIR to 2 UCs
i had previously submitted my SIR to cal but now i think i've changed my mind and want to go to UCLA
what happens if i submit SIR to both schools?
what i hear is that i have to notify cal of this and i just pay a penalty or whatever...
oh and... is it really worth going to berkeley for spring and missing out on the first semester of college for the berkeley business school............................................ |

| Doesn't seem that nothing bad will happen. Go ahead and submit to UCLA before it gets too late. | |

| People on this forum can tell you all there is to do about it, but nothing they say here will be official or a guarantee that it will be ok/or not ok.
best give both cal and ucla a call. | |

| Eric, you're mistaken, you can get rescinded for sending in two SIR's. Both sites warn against it and admit possible rescindence (is that a word? :P) for sending SIR's to multiple UC's during the SIR filing process.
Pretty sure this one's official. | |

| This is all a bunch of lies. I sent my SIR to 2 schools last year. They just send you a letter in June saying "Please write a hand-written letter to both schools stating that you will/will not be attending the school"

| Ditto per MrSpam's response; same thing happened to me. I assure you, you'll be fine if you submit 2 SIR's. | |

Pretty sure this one's official. | What I'm saying is, it doesn't matter what people say on this forum, in the end he has to call Cal to cancel his decision. And if you were 100%, you would not say "pretty sure". | |
