<p>I got an e-mail from UCSB that I got into the EOP program.
I checked off the EOP box when I applied, but I later found out that one of the requirements is that your parents did not graduate from a 4-year university, which both of my parents did...
But I read this info on a Cal State website and I'm guessing UC's have different requirements?</p>
<p>My question is... was this a mistake made by UCSB?
'Cause I didn't get any e-mails from any other UC's regarding EOP.
If not, EOP is a helpful thing and I should be happy that I got it, right?</p>
<p>looks like somebody at ucsb made a mistake. see the link below:</p>

<p>I guess they did make a mistake. Only for first-generation students, right?</p>
<p>yes, that’s how i interpreted the language. according to the link, it said “low-income, … AND first-generation”. it didn’t say “OR”. it seems each UC does EOP a little differently. i would call the office (their number is provided in that link) and speak with someone just to make sure–because yes, EOP does provide certain positive benefits.</p>
<p>i hope i got in. thanks! i’ll call tmrw.</p>
