<p>This may have already been answered in other threads/posts but because UCSB sent out an email today, I thought it would be nice to get an insight into this program.
I qualified for it (luckily) BUT dont know the meaning behind the program?
Pros/Cons would definitely help! lol</p>
<p>Same here.
It sounds nice?
But idk what it is.</p>
<p>Since I got accepted to EOP as well, I figured I could answer some of your questions. This is what I was able to find:</p>
<p>"The Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) is a recruitment and academic support program established by the university to increase the enrollment of educationally disadvantaged and low-income students. Students are provided with pre-admission counseling, and academic and personal support services. EOP eligibility is based on family income level.</p>
<p>Services available to EOP students cover a broad range of needs. Recruitment and application-related services include pre-admission counseling, application fee waivers, application follow-up, and deferral of the Statement of Intent to Register fee. Academic support for EOP students is offered through the Office of Academic Support and Instructional Services (OASIS).
The preferred method of applying is online at <a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.ed…/undergradapp/%5B/url%5D”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.ed…/undergradapp/</a>. A limited number of copies will also be available at California high schools and community colleges, as well as at all UC campuses. EOP applicants must be California residents. To apply for EOP, check the appropriate box in the UC application designated for the Educational Opportunity Program. Fill in the information requested in the application pertaining to family size and income, parental education level and occupation. This information is used in conjunction with other information from the admission application in determining eligibility for EOP."</p>
<p>I got into EOP too, but I think someone at UCSB might’ve made a mistake.
I qualify income-wise, but only first-generation college students are eligible right?</p>
<p>Hahah insightful! lol
Thanks :)</p>
<p>I forgot I was EOP until I read this thread.</p>
<p>how long do EOP questions have to be???</p>
