Got a letter from the University of California today

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - GENERAL

<p>"Dear Applicant, </p>

<p>We are pleased that you have chosen to apply to the University of California…"</p>

<p>The letter then proceeds to tell me what to expect about the application process and how to check my admission application. Underneath, it reads,</p>

<p>"Campuses applied to:
Merced</p>

<p>This acknowledgement is in response to an added campus choice. Your application has been sent to the campus(es) named above."</p>

<p>Here’s the thing, I never applied to Merced and I already have decided to go to UCSB. Does this letter mean anything? And why am I getting it mid-May? I’m confused because it has my name, school, social security, and everything else completely correct.</p>

<p>Your best bet is to call in and get it cleared, assuming you sent in your SIR to UCSB. I wish you the best, and hopefully I’ll see you at UCSB during Fall 09’!</p>

<p>Merced is just trying to lure you away. (I’m guessing you checked the box that said UC could send your app to other campuses.)</p>
