<p>Hi, I just got a letter saying that I've been selected to become a member of the Campuswide Honors Program (CHP) and wanted to start a thread so that other people can post about it.
I don't know much about it but it supposedly isn't an offer of admission, right?</p>
<p>My son got this letter via regular mail today. The letter says “Admission to the Campuswide Honors Program is contingent upon your admission to the university.” So it’s not a formal letter of acceptance to UCI. But can we assume that chances are high that one will be coming next month?</p>
<p>Hey guys does this mean CHP=acceptance to UCI?</p>
<p>Did you get an e-mail as well?</p>
<p>It was a one page letter received via USPS today. There was no email.</p>
<p>Thanks @yoamogates</p>
<p>I don’t ‘know’ what it was, but I would think it was like a likely letter. If they are saying you are one of the top students, it would be odd to later be told you were not accepted – whether it is a formal offer of acceptance or not. </p>
<p>Congratulations to those who got these!</p>
<p>I got the letter today! No email. </p>
<p>Thank you to the UC Irvine staff for making me feel better about myself after not getting UCLA/Berkeley Regents. I knew from the start that those were long shots, but I still got my hopes up a little too high… </p>
<p>The letter mentioned something along the lines of “admission to CHP is contingent upon admission to the University” so I do not believe that receiving the letter equates to acceptance (similar to UCLA regents). However, as collegevetting said, why would you be identified as a “top applicant” and then not be accepted? Seems unlikely that more than a few people a year would get CHP but not be accepted. </p>
<p>I got one too. They said they would send out an email later on regarding some event related to this.
I don’t know if this is just a generic letter they send out to most students and they only make it out to sound “special” and whatnot, or if it’s legitimately a mark of your chances at UCI.</p>
<p>Getting the letter means that you are accepted into the Campuswide Honors Program at UCI. </p>
<p>Using 2013’s numbers, 5460 students decided to attend the university, and only ~160 of those entered the CHP program. Now, chances are that a lot more than 160 people get the invitation. I’d guess it’s around 1000-2000, because being in the top of Irvine’s applicant pool means that you have a very good chance of getting into Berkeley, UCLA, and other top schools that you might choose to matriculate at instead (just like how a lot of people who get Berkeley/UCLA Regents often end up getting into and going to Ivy League schools). </p>
<p>I’d be interested to see stats on how many people are invited and how many actually choose to attend. Regardless, I’m pretty sure the letter <em>isn’t</em> send out to the vast majority of applicants. </p>
<p>Just checked my admissions status and it says “congratulations!” although it never explicitly states the word “accepted” on the site. I’m just going to make my assumptions. Never got a single email on my status, so A+ notification system.</p>
<p>It doesn’t say “You have been admitted to UC Irvine!” in big letters above “Congratulations!”?</p>
<p>It says:
Congratulations!
Your deadline is 05/01/2014 to:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Accept our offer of Admission (SIR)</p></li>
<li><p>Apply for housing
(Freshman Housing Guarantee deadline is May 1, NO EXCEPTIONS.)</p></li>
<li><p>Submit your Statement of Legal Residence (SLR)</p></li>
<li><p>Or decline our offer of admission</p></li>
</ul>
<p>And then it small font it says: (I missed it earlier bc of the tiny af font lol)
You have been admitted with Freshman Conditions – View your Freshman Conditions"</p>
<p>No obvious & obnoxious “you’ve been accepted” or anything though. And nothing in large font that would immediately tell me so.</p>
<p>Look again… My son’s says “You have been admitted to UC Irvine!” in bold letters and large font in the section above where you currently see Congratulations! Your deadline is…</p>
<p>Ah, okay. I logged in again and there’s a banner now.
But if I just press the backspace bar a few times, I can see the page I was looking at previously and there was no banner.</p>
<p>I got one too! I am so thankful.</p>
<p>So around how many applicants get this letter? 1000-2000?</p>
<p>Just got accepted to UC Irvine and Berkeley (Regents)! Good luck, everyone! :)</p>
<p>I got a letter in the mail today! It tells you to check the portal and there, it tells you that you’ve been accepted.
I thought the huge “You’ve been accepted” banner was an advertisement at first, but yepp I figured that one out eventually lol</p>
<p>@annel96 , did you get an email notification from Berkeley? And also, have you applied to UCLA & heard back from them yet?</p>
