What deadlines does UC Berkeley have?

Hey guys, I'm looking at UC Berkeley as one of my top choices. Could anyone break down the pertinent deadlines for me? I mean stuff like the application deadline, financial aid, housing, etc.

Absolutely, let's break down some of the important deadlines for UC Berkeley:

1. Application: The University of California system, including UC Berkeley, has its application filing period from October 1 to November 30. This means you'll be able to start the application on October 1 and the final deadline to submit it is November 30.

2. Financial Aid: For federal and state aid, you should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or California Dream Act Application between October 1 and March 2 to maximize your eligibility. UC Berkeley may have its own institutional aid deadlines and it's best to familiarize yourself with them.

3. Housing: UC Berkeley's Guaranteed Housing deadline typically falls in late May for incoming freshmen. This doesn't mean you can't apply for housing after this date, but your housing is not guaranteed if you apply later.

4. Statement of Intent to Register (SIR): Typically, the SIR deadline for freshman fall admission is May 1 and for transfer students it's June 1.

Keep in mind that these are general timelines and the exact dates can slightly vary each year. So it's always good practice to check UC Berkeley's official website periodically for the most updated and current information. Additionally, financial aid and housing deadlines usually kick in after you have received an admission offer, so make sure to review the details in your offer of admission for accurate info.

Good luck with your application to UC Berkeley!
