<p>ok so if i have ELC am i guaranteed into UC Irvine??</p>
<p>and what does "guaranteed" in this case specifically mean.
Thanks You!</p>
<p>If you received their mail saying you're guaranteed. By guaranteed, they mean in the sense that you fully finish their application (essays basically).</p>
<p>ELC is usually for Merced, Riverside and one middle-tier school like Irvine or Davis. It changes every year, so don't get your hopes up about Irvine.</p>
<p>Guaranteed means that they send you mail telling you to go on the website and enter a code, so you're automatically "in." They fill out half of the application for you.</p>
<p>umm..this year soo far..i got guarentee letters from davis, riverside, merced, san diego, irvine , santa barbara</p>
<p>yeah people got a lot of letters this year. it means that you can choose from all of those.</p>
<p>SD is not guaranteed. 90%</p>
<p>do they send ELC only to public skools? Cause I didnt get one. Maybe im just too dumb for it :P</p>
<p>ELC is if you are in the Top 4%. I got letters from Riverside, Merced, Santa Barbara, Irvine, and Davis. I also got a letter from SD encouraging me to apply, but didn't provide a guarantee.</p>
<p>That's weird... I got a letter saying I was automatically accepted to Berkeley. JK of course.</p>
