<p>From the mail.</p>

<p>Thank you for applying to the University of California, Santa Barbara. After careful consideration of your application, I am sorry to say that we will be unable to offer you admission as a freshman for the Fall 2006 term.</p>

<p>This year we received nearly 40,000 applications for a freshman class of just 4,000 and had to make some very difficult decisions. As always, our highest priority in the review of applications is the academic qualifications of each applicant. At the same time, our goal is to select a class that reflects a variety of academic interests, exceptional skills and talents, experiences and aspirations. In doing so, we looked at a range of factors beyond grade point average and test scores. A detailed discussion of our review process is available online at http:&lt;a href="http://www.admissions.ucsb.edu/selectionprocess.asp%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.admissions.ucsb.edu/selectionprocess.asp&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p>

<p>Be assured that our admissions officers looked closely at your grades, course work, test scores, honors and awards, volunteer and work experience, your leadership and how well you made use of academic opportunities at your school. The collective strength of all these factors within our applicant pool was the highest in those students we were able to admit.</p>

<p>Given your academic and personal qualifications, I am confident that you will have many opportunities to achieve your educational goals, perhaps at another UC campus. Qualified California residents who are not admitted by any UC campus to which they have applied may be offered freshman admission by another UC campus.</p>

<p>Again, thank you or your interest in UC Santa Barbara. I wish you every success in achieving your educational goals.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Christine N. Van Gieson
Director of Admissions</p>
