<p>I recently got something in the mail saying that I'm invited to a UC Santa Barbara Reception for High-Achieving applications. What does this mean??</p>
<p>UCSB thinks you're a very qualified candidate and want to invite you to learn more about the university and all of it's programs. It's really a nice experience and if you're at all interested in UCSB for any reason, you'd really be doing yourself a favor by attending.</p>
<p>that should mean you're in</p>
<p>nothing guaranteed, of course, but people who received these in the past were later admitted. Congratulations!</p>
<p>mikemac go to the When in March Do We Find Out? thread. There is a question for you.</p>
<p>Go to the bottom left of this page.
Look at all messages in the last year, ascending, and see what people said about these letters in Feb and March last year.
As mikemac said, people who received these in the past were admitted.</p>
<p>Hey I got one too but I think its a mistake. I have a 3.83 and only 1500 Sat score (Applied as Computer Sci). I do admit I have more than average activities. I called and asked UCSB if +50% get admitted upon receiving this letter and she said yes! Does that mean im the remaining 30%-20% dont get in?</p>
<p>i got one anyone going to the one in costa mesa??? (thats the one im going to :) )</p>
<p>I got one too, I'll be going to the LA one.</p>
<p>Also, MidwestMom, where are you referring to?</p>
<p>Hey guys i found last years thread about the same letter we received read at your own pace cuz there is a lot of good newz!

<p>Good thread ^. Is there anyone here who went to last year's that can bring us news? Anything to verify 100% that those who receive the invitation are in?</p>
<p>That's a pretty assuring thread already, yet I'm still curious!</p>
<p>Was the invitation come in regular mail? or email?</p>
<p>Two years ago my son got the invitation - the first thing they said at the reception was that everyone who was invited would receive an acceptance notification on the regular date. Everyone we know who was there did.....</p>
<p>Standard US mail, I have not checked my USCB online account but im pretty sure the invite is there 2</p>
<p>"12:30-1:00 : Registration and light refreshments."</p>
<p>what do they mean when they say registration??? Like registrations for classes? lol</p>
<p>I think they mean registration for the event. Basically sign your name, etc..</p>
<p>Me and my counselor called in and they would not tell him anything about admission. They just explained what it was. My counselor thinks its a recruitment tool to try to sway us into UCSB, im sold! Another counselor thinks its about their honors program. Anyone have any info? has anyone told their counselor if anyone has gotten this years before and what the outcome is?-thanks</p>
<p>I got one! yay.</p>
<p>Two years ago everyone who was invited was admitted. Not everyone who was invited was placed in the honors program.</p>
<p>What shoud we wear? Collar shirt + tie & slacks anybody?</p>
