<p>I don't want to get my hopes up (partly because I think maybe this is happening to a lot of other people as well) but I just got an email from UCSD (Jacobs School of Engineering to be precise) saying that they are glad I applied because I am a "top applicant." The email includes more information about their school and other programs and opportunities.</p>

<p>I'm not trying to sound cocky, but does that mean I have a high probability that I got in? Well, I would understand if they sent this email to everyone else, but if it's just some people, does it mean something?</p>

<p>Sorry to worry others that may not have received one though! D:</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>^ My son has not received an email like this. Applied to ME. Congrats to you…it does seem like a good sign. :)</p>

<p>Ah, the excitement of admissions is coming soon.</p>

<p>Sounds interesting, but I would only bet on receiving the official admissions letter as a true indicator of whether you’re in or not.</p>

<p>Best of luck though :)</p>

<p>I remember last year that if you got this letter, you’re in.</p>

5

<p>Yeah, I remember getting this last year as well. I called the admissions office, and they kind of implied that I was in even though it wasn’t technically official.</p>

6

<p>Was this letter sent to only Engineering applicants or all majors?</p>

7

<p>I’m also curious about this… I received it and I applied as a biotech major.</p>

8

<p>Me too, I was hopeful for a moment.
I applied for the Comp Sci major.</p>

<p>Was this letter sent to all top applicants or just those from the Jacob School of Engineering?</p>

<p>What were your stats?</p>

<p>Hey I got this same email a few days ago, applied for computer engineering. I was also wondering if it was somewhat of a “likely” letter, that would be pretty awesome if it is. To the above poster, I know you weren’t asking me but if it’s any help my [weighted] UC GPA was approx 4.3 (I think that’s just from 10-11 grade lol, I got a B in one AP class first semester of junior year though), 2130 SAT… I’m hoping I get in =o</p>

<p>I’m also wondering if this was one of those letters that everyone got though</p>

<p>Got it last year. Didn’t get in.</p>
