<p>I'm attending because I live close by and got into the honors program - even though I'll most likely get into UCSD as well and maybe even UCLA, I'm choosing UCI cus its a nice campus close to home.</p>
<p>UCI was a definite safety for me ever since I found out I got guaranteed admission through ELC, but their offer of CHP and a possible Regent's scholarship is making me seriously consider going. I also applied to USC, UCLA, and UCSD, but there's a big possibility I'll only get into UCSD and with all the bait Irvine's throwing at me, it's going to be pretty much a toss-up between SD and I. :/</p>
<p>same here...anyway I'd rather commute to UCI than stay in a dorm at UCSD</p>
<p>UCI in my opinion has a MUCH nicer campus and being part of CHP adds a sense of community...as alicantekid who graduated from UCI said in one of the old uci posts, he felt he was appreciated at UCI being a CHP/Regents recipient - better than just being 1/40,000 at UCLA</p>
<p>Talk to CHP students and directors..they'll talk with you and answer all your questions..you won't just be a number. That sounds cheezy but I really believe its true.</p>
<p>I'm guessing they will release them sometime in the morning..i looked at the decisions thread from last yr...and the first post was on 3/01 at 7:53 am i believe...</p>

Not that ELC, Regents', CHP, Stay-over invite didn't give it away in the first place, but the Explore page will tell you in the case that you haven't gotten any of these things. [/ul]</p>
