<p>I got an email today inviting me to the engineering open house. In it, it says</p>

We have received your application to UCLA's Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science (HSSEAS). Your application is among those which I consider highly competitive. However, it is still too soon for admission decisions to be announced. To learn of the official decision, check the Undergraduate Admissions and Relations with Schools (UARS) website Admission</a> Decisions - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions in mid-to-late March. You will receive an email from UARS when decisions are available online.</p>

<p>Having reviewed your application, I want to congratulate you on your fine work in high school. I look forward to seeing you in person on Sunday, April 15.

<p>@energize,</p>

<p>How do you know this means we are for sure in???</p>

9

<p>I didn’t get one.</p>

<p>Electrical engineering applicant
SAT: 2320
SAT II: MathII 800 BioM 780
UW GPA: 4.0 WGPA: 4.5</p>

<p>I was invited to apply for regents though… what’s up with that?</p>

10

<p>Well guys, lets think about it for a minute. Why the HE’LL would UCLA invite us for an open house if we didn’t get in in the first place. Think about it. If we got rejected, why the HE’LL would they want us there?</p>

11

<p>That’s what I was thinking. Look at the last sentence: “I look forward to seeing you in person on Sunday, April 15.”</p>

12

<p>@Lololwut</p>

<p>I got mine at 7:59 PM today. They’re probably still sending them out. No worries.</p>

13

<p>I got it too for Computer Science.
SAT: 2160
SAT II: Math II: 790 Physics: 720
UW GPA: 3.94 WGPA: idk</p>

14

<p>^^Yeah, the time on mine is 7 PM, so they might still be sending them out.</p>

15

<p>@energize again, how do you know for sure that it means we’re in? Do you know from last year or something?</p>

16

<p>Got it too! Man, if it’s a likely letter, I’m going to so relieved. Haven’t gotten a non-safety acceptance yet. ):</p>

<p>SAT: 2330
SAT II: Math Level II-790, Chemistry-770, Literature-700
UW GPA: 3.78 W. GPA: 4.71</p>

17

<p>One of my friends went to an engineering summer program at UCLA, and he talked to the admissions director, who basically said that this email meant acceptance.</p>

18

<p>@ Energize</p>

<p>How do you know if <em>this</em> email is the one he was talking about</p>

19

<p>You want to ask my friend? He got the email as well, and I have faith that he knows what he’s talking about.</p>

<p>And seriously, reason it out.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>If they’ve reviewed your application, and they’re sending you an email inviting you to an open house that is open only to those invited (as the website says), they would surely not send an email like those to someone they would not admit. It makes no sense whatsoever to invite an applicant whose application hasn’t been read or who has been rejected/waitlisted to an open house.</p>

<p>I got the email, and I was invited to apply for Regents if that means anything.</p>

<p>SAT: 2270
SAT II’s: Math II: 800 Physics: 800
UW GPA: 4.0 UC GPA: Whatever the cap is</p>
