<p>what i wanna know is has anyone gotten one and later find out they didnt get in?</p>
<p>I got one :). wooo hoo.</p>
<p>act 32
gpa: 4.3 w, 3.92uw.
varsity soccer, and own my own web business (major computer science).</p>
<p>so do we know if this is good for sure? Is this the same likely letter that they sent out last year or is it different?</p>
<p>i got one too. but can this really be it???</p>
<p>Smells like a likely admit email...
Couple of hints in the email:
1. "Your application is among those which I consider highly competitive."
....
"Having reviewed your application, I want to congratulate you on your fine
work in high school. I look forward to seeing you in person on April 6."
2. The RSVP URL link says:
"This event is by invitation only and guests must have their invitation letter to gain entry into Royce Hall and Department Events."</p>
<p>Hmm.. I'm not sure. Someone should try emailing her and asking. I was stalking the forum for info last year; and they said they emailed the email address on the email and asked her what it meant and she said it pretty much meant your in.</p>
<p>But it seems like this email is different than the one last year, so I'm not exactly sure if it means the same thing.. :/.</p>
<p>the emails do imply likelihood of admission
but they could've been sent to a broader range of applications compare to that of last yr's (which was worded differently)
so we're still hopefully waiting =)</p>
<p>I got the letter too...is this a good sign? (I'm out of state)</p>
<p>2240 superscored, 35 ACT, 800M2/740Chem/720USH, rank 8/685, National AP Scholar, Eagle Scout, National Merit Finalist, etc.</p>
<p>Predator... with those scores, I pray you get in. or there's no hope for the rest of us ;) haha.</p>
<p>but yeah. I guess its a likely?</p>
<p>yeah predator if you worried then i dont know exactly what to say to you...
national AP scholar...isn't that the one they give to the kid that took the most AP's in the nation??? dam....</p>
<p>i told my parents to keep this on the downlow just in case that its not 100%...but talking to all my buddies that graduated...its pretty much 95%...5% is due to paperwork, technical, filing, wrong person mistakes etc etc</p>
<p>would it be ok if we buy UCLA sweaters now? :)</p>
<p>No, National AP Scholar is a score of four or more on eight or more exams.
You might be thinking of State AP Scholar or something.</p>
<p>nbui3, i think its safe to buy sweaters now... just keep in mind they are like 60 bucks a piece :) well for bearwear at least, i personally think they are better than the fake ones, but why not wait til you come here for engineering open house and buy it then? because you'll be 100% sure in april</p>
<p>i just saw this: "I look forward to seeing you in person on April 6."
we will find out about our admission status @ end of march
assuming he wants to see future bruins instead of rejected applicants on April 6
we have to get in right?</p>
<p>Um, yes that now makes perfect sense mb...Why would they send those letters to people who DIDN'T get in??</p>
<p>I agree..the timeline is off. We get acceptance by end of Mrch, but the open house is april 6. wouln't it make more sense to include the invitation to open house WITH the acceptance letter/email? well, that's just my opinion, bit i'm just a lowly student.</p>
<p>got one too yea</p>
<p>kkahuna, yeah it would make sense then. but like someone mentioned earlier there's students who are from out of state and they need to make reservations... hell even us californians needa plan ahead a little more than 6 days.. unless you live in socal already.</p>
<p>i got one also but my stast are horrible! is thisreally an early reply!?!?! this makes me wish i would have applied to Cal as EECS instead of CS...</p>
<p>p.s. how good is UCLAs engineering school (mainly electrical) im comparisent to USC and cal poly slo?</p>
<p>I think UCLA's engineering school is better than USC's. Don't know about Cal Poly slo...</p>
<p>Cal Poly is good for undergraduate engineering (ie. you come out with a bachelors) because of its emphasis on hands on work. The UCs, however, are more theoretical and are preparing students for graduate education (Masters, PhD etc.). As for UCLA vs. USC, there is an issue of cost involved. While an engineering major is going to end up making quite a bit of money coming out, there is not really a significant difference in terms of prestige between UCLA and USC (even then, I think UCLA edges it), and that is translated into the workforce and graduate schools too. Someone seeing a UCLA resume vs. a USC one is not going to favor one over the other on that basis alone. That being said, a private education for engineering is probably going to be a deterrence in this case.</p>
