<p>Did anyone else get this email today:</p>
<p>We're excited that you have applied for Fall 2011 admission to the Jacobs School of Engineering at UC San Diego! As a top applicant to the university, we know you'd like to know a little more about our school.......</p>
<p>I really hope this is a good sign</p>
<p>Yes, S got that exact same message. Not sure what to make of it.</p>
<p>Me either…I have gotten a lot of mass emails from UCLA and CAL…hopefully this is not another one of those</p>
<p>S has pretty good stats–we’re hoping its a “likely”. They did mention they would be sending more info–don’t know if they did this last year.</p>
<p>My son received that email, in 2006. He was (subsequently) accepted to UCSD. I think you are in. ( I say that from the perspective that my son received that email, and he was accepted. He ended up attending a different University than UCSD, but he was accepted). Congrats to all of you.</p>
<p>Doesn’t it say at the bottom that those emails are not related to your admission status?</p>
<p>When I applied, I received those emails and was accepted later so I can’t disprove the hypothesis.</p>
<p>Yep…just hoping</p>
<p>Please note that receipt of this email does not constitute or guarantee admission to UCSD or the Jacobs School… “Please note that receipt of this email does not constitute or guarantee admission to UCSD or the Jacobs School”</p>
<p>what are your stats… i have a 1860 SAT, but a 4.3 GPA… [with ELC]</p>
<p>Did anyone get it from outside the Jacobs School of Engineering?
Or is this just a Jacobs thing?</p>
<p>Gpa 4.25 sat 2200 act 34…</p>
<p>S clicked on the link that said, “For more information” and it said that his e-mail was obtained by being in the top 2000 applicants. Not sure if that means for the whole school or just the college of engineering.</p>
<p>Did anyone receive this e-mail that did NOT apply to the college of engineering?</p>
<p>Applied to engineering: UC GPA 4.2, ACT 32, lots of EC. I’m also wondering if we are “top 2000 applicants” for the univerisity or school of engineering? If it is the university , this will bode well for us.</p>
<p>“top 2000 applicants” would be very nice but not sure about that…I have given up trying to figure out this stuff out.</p>
<p>i applied to UCSD under EE last year, and got that letter from Jacobs School of Eng as well. and i got in later when i checked my status online on march 15th. i think theres probably a high change that u will get in, mainly from my experience and from everyone else that got the letter (if ur major isnt impacted, ie. not mechE or bioE). but even if u applied for an impacted major, u still will most likely get in</p>
<p>^^ 33dmjjm, did you check the link “for more information” It definitely said top 2000 applicants. I am sure that just means to the school of engineering. From the 2009 data 7,421 people applied to engineering and 3,216 were accepted. If we assume the numbers are somewhat consistent, that is good news. For those who didn’t get the e-mail, seems to be plenty of room for more!</p>
<p>Those emails were sent out to the top 2000 applicants, which is, I would assume, less than the number of students UCSD accepts into engineering. I’m guessing the receipt of these emails is a sign that you will be accepted.</p>
<p>but thats only for those who applied to engineering, right?</p>
<p>I received that email. My guess is that all who received that email will be admitted because the email was to the top 2000 applicants, and UCSD will accept more than 2000 applicants into the engineering school.</p>
<p>5/6 people I know who applied to engineering from my school received the same email but got rejected later on, including me. From what I’ve seen, this is NOT a likely letter so for future applicants, do not get your hopes up.</p>
