<p>I have recieved a letter from UC Davis saying that I have been accepted because of my ELC number, but I have to apply in order to get in. Will this hurt my chances if I am applying to UC schools like UCLA and UCSD?</p>
<p>it will help you as a matter of fact. elc admit rates for ucsd were 89% and 56% for la. it boosts your application more than anything. it also means that you have a little bit of a safety net in case you do not get into la or sd.</p>
<p>I think the higher rate of admission for ELC applicants is an associated, not causal finding, particularly at Cal and UCLA. OTOH, you can get admitted to many more than one UC.</p>
<p>The UCs don’t know which other UCs you apply to, so applying to just one or applying to all of them won’t change your chances of getting into a particular one. And they all can accept you, then you have a couple months to select the one you want to go to.</p>
<p>Thanks that was a big help!</p>
