<p>I just found out that I was have ELC.
What are the benefits of being recognized as ELC? Is it something you can put as an achievement on college apps for non-UC schools?</p>
<p>You get guaranteed admission into a UC. However, you do NOT get to choose the UC you get accepted to by ELC. They choose for you, based on how much space is available in each college. I suppose that you could say that you have ELC, but why don’t you just say that you are in the top 9% of your class, or whatever the ELC cutoff is now?</p>
