<p>A couple of days ago I got an invitation for me and my parents to a UC Santa Barbara Reception "for high-achieving applicants".</p>
<p>"Chancellor Henry T. Yang,</p>
<p>in company with the Faculty and Deans in the COllege of Creative Studies, the College of Letters and Science and the College of Engineering at the University of California, Santa Barabara are pleased to invite you and your parents to a UC Santa Barbara Reception for high-achieving applicants.</p>
<p><em>info etc.</em></p>
<p>We look forward to recognizing your academic achievements and introducing you to the University of California, Santa Barbara.</p>
<p>Well, it's hard to get Chancellor's award if you're not going to get accepted... Cause after all, it's for the top few people who got admitted to that school...</p>
<p>I got it for UCR (and found out I was accepted today, but that was a no-brain aduhr), but wish I got for UCI too. :(</p>
