UC Irvine CHP

Applying to College
1

<p>Is the Campuswide Honors Program (CHP) offered to the top applicants/students of UCI or are they given to students who are most likely to attend uc irvine?</p>

<p>And what are the chances of a student who was accepted into chp to get into top tier uc's like la and berkeley?</p>

<p>just got a letter (email) telling me that I have been selected to become a member of CHPS …</p>

<p>it said CHP serves talented and highly motivated students in all majors and approximately 180 out of 3,900 first-year students each year …</p>

<p>I have not heard from other schools I applied, but my preference is

  1. CalTech
  2. UC Berkeley
  3. UC Los Angeles
  4. UC San Diego
  5. UC Santa Barbara
    so actually UCI is sort of a safety school for me
    and all the others will not start notifying students until mid-March (I hate waiting)</p>

<p>but I heard UCI is a really good school rank 41 by US News nationwide …</p>

<p>yeah me too…</p>

<p>are you planning to attend the honors experience day?
and so im guessing they offer the chp to more qualified students considering your top choice is cal tech!</p>

<p>Irvines one of my safeties too and I was accepted CHP today too. I visited in the summer and its pretty nice there. I like the big park in the middle, and the campus is circular. MY one BIG knock on irvine is that its a commuter school. Still waiting on more schools my top choices are 1) Notre Dame 2) UVA 3) USC/UCLA</p>

<p>I am planning to go on March 5th because I will not know if I will be admitted to the other school, but I think there should not be a problem to get into UCSB …</p>
